00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Betting pros PGA Podcast.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: I'm Pat Fitzmorris, joined as always by Paul mcbrair.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Paul, on last week's show, you touted a multi sport parlay.

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: You've got it yourself. You hit it. Care to share

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: the details with our audience?

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 3: Well, just a little rewind is I get to the

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 3: show early in the week where I'm looking for value

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 3: with Scotti Scheffler, which is never an easy task, and

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 3: I had to ask myself, is Scotty Scheffler going to

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: win this tournament? And I said to myself probably. Then

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: I look at the odds and it says plus two

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: seventy five was the best line I could find. That's

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: not acceptable. I want to win some money, So I

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 3: decided to look at other parlay legs that I might

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: feel confident enough to throw in with a Scotty outright.

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: So I was able to parlay a Scotty outright win

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: with the Patriots money line and the Seahawks minus two

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: and a half. Since I felt both of those teams

19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: would win, I didn't know how much the Patriots would

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: win by a good thing. I didn't bet the spread

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: because they did not cover the spread and then I

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: was pretty sure the Seahawks would win by more than

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: a field goal, so I was I took that for

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,639
Speaker 3: a little bit of an odds boost and my twenty

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: dollars bet when Scottie Patriots Seahawks one by four, that

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: turned my twenty bucks into one hundred and ninety four dollars.

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: So kudos to me for a fun, creative bet that

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 3: just so happened to hit.

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: Hey, and we might have another chance to do that

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: next week with the Super Bowl and the Phoenix Waste

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: Management Open.

32
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: Always some fun typically.

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 3: The weekend I do it.

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do put together some fun blended props or

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: parlays there. So and also Bo, today we were talking

36
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: a little bit backstage about this week and you said,

37
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: I am really excited about having a big boy tournament,

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: and we're getting one this week, at least a big

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: boy venue. I don't know how good the field is.

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: Weird that yeah, it's not bad. It's weird that you

41
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: get a better MX field than you would get for

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: the Farmers Insurance Open. Butts, that's where the PGA tour

43
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: is headed to the southern California coast for the Farmers

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Insurance Open. We'll give you a full betting preview in

45
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: just a moment, but first, a very quick recap of

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: last week's tournament, The American Express. Scotti Scheffler wins by

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: four shots. He opened with a sixty three in a

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: sixty four in his first two rounds to pretty much

49
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: ensure that he would contend. His third round sixty eight,

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: dropped in one shot behind seawew Kim going into the

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: final round, who I had bats while I was under

52
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: no illusion seawock Kim was going to win and the

53
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: final group with Scotty. Scotty was tied with eighteen year

54
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: old Blades Brown, who had a good look at a

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: birdie putt for a fifty nine in his Friday round

56
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: but couldn't get it to drop.

57
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Seawoo Kim shot an even par seventy two.

58
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: On Sunday, Blades Brown shot at two over par seventy four.

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: Scotty blew them both out of the water with a

60
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: final around sixty six to win a drama free cake walk.

61
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: Scotty just put on a clinic Sunday, stuffing a bunch

62
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: of his approach shots within four or five feet of

63
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: the hole. He saw a great player on top of

64
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: his game, He finished twenty seven under par Jason Day,

65
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: Ryan Gerard, Matt McCarty, and Andrew Putnam all finished tied

66
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: for second four shots back bow.

67
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the NX.

68
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: Other than the Scotti parlay, I didn't really have a

69
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: lot of success. I had some top ten money come

70
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: in on Ryan Gerard because that was I found end

71
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: up finding a decent odds on his top ten, so

72
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: that was okay. The rest of my guys just didn't

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: have quite enough. I was a little too chicken admittedly

74
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: to tout Blades Brown last week, even though he did

75
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: pop in my model top ten in my model last week,

76
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: and I just couldn't get my I couldn't get the

77
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: gumption to say his name on the show. And I mean,

78
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,559
Speaker 3: he looked impressive. I didn't think he would have enough experience,

79
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: honestly to win that tournament. But now we're on notice

80
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: if it's not an overly huge golf course that he

81
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: has above average clubhead speed, so he's not going to

82
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: be overwhelmed by a longer course. But this is the

83
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: kind of the American Express with those three easy courses,

84
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: with a guy coming off Corn Fairy Tour, with all

85
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: the success he's had as a high school aged teenager.

86
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: He's really good guys, and that sixty he shot on

87
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: Friday really stood out to me. And the fact that

88
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: now I can say his name pretty confidently if he

89
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: pops in my model, I'm not going to be apprehensive

90
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: saying Blades Brown, because the kid is for real. He's

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: a real deal player and he just went out there

92
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: and lit that course up and it was fun to watch.

93
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: And he's eighteen years old. He looks like a timeless veteran.

94
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: These kids are to keep getting better, more athletic, more

95
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: savvy around these golf courses. It's not like the olden

96
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: days where it would take a while for some guys

97
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: to get their footing on the PGA Tour. With the

98
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: big boy courses, that learning curve is much shorter than

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: it ever was.

100
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: Blades Brown has wanted to watch for sure. Gorgeous swing

101
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: and a cool name.

102
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's going to be around for it.

103
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: I don't think his dad played cavity backs. Let's just

104
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: say that.

105
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: Let's turn to the Farmers Insurance Open at Tory Pines

106
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: in La Jolla, California. There are one hundred and forty

107
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: seven players in the field and a lot of the

108
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 2: big names are skipping this one, including Scottie Scheffler after

109
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: his win last week. For the second straight week, we

110
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: have a multi course tournament. Players will alternate between Tory

111
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: Pines North and Tory Pines South on the first two days.

112
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: They will play the South course exclusively on the weekend,

113
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: and that's the much tougher course. It's an iconic course

114
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: that's hosted majors before. The North Course, a relative pushover,

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: typically plays about two shots easier than the South course,

116
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: although if I recall correctly, there wasn't as big a

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: disparity between the two courses last year because the North

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: course seem to get more wind on one of the

119
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: first two days I think it was Friday. Then the

120
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: South course was getting played unusually difficult. The North course

121
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: is of par seventy two that measures seventy two hundred

122
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: and fifty eight yards, plays easy because of the par fives.

123
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: Which are all very reachable.

124
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: The longest of the par fives is five hundred and

125
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: fifty six yards. The other three are five hundred and

126
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: thirty six yards are shorter.

127
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: Par threes are a little tougher.

128
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: On the North course, all four two hundred yards are longer,

129
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 2: and they are three par fours shorter than four hundred yards,

130
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: two of them under three hundred and fifty yards and

131
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: potentially drivable. If you want to win the Farmers Insurance Open,

132
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 2: you had best shoot in the sixties for your round

133
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: on the Tory Pines North Course. Now, the South Course

134
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: is a par seventy two that weighs in at a

135
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 2: hefty seventy seven hundred and sixty five yards, making it

136
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: the longest course the PGA Tour pros will play all season.

137
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: Aside from the Majors, it's one of the most demanding

138
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: driving courses on tour now. Obviously, distance off the tee

139
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: is a big advantage of the course this long, but

140
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: accuracy matters too, because Tory Pines South has some of

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: the narrowest fairways on the tour.

142
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: Now they're not.

143
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: There are a lot of long power fours, so a

144
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: lot of the approach shots are going to come from

145
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: middle and long iron distance. The greens at Tory Pines

146
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: are poea anua and poe greens can roll inconsistently at times.

147
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: I believe Tory Pines South has been one of the

148
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: hardest courses on tour in these strokes gained putting category.

149
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: If you miss these greens, it can be hard to

150
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: get up and down because of the rough around the.

151
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Greens, it can be pretty thick. Now.

152
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: The defending Farmers Open Farmers Insurance Open champion is Harris English.

153
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: He survived some tough conditions last year finished minus eight,

154
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: one shot ahead of Sam Stevens. Matthew Pavaan won the

155
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: Farmer's Insurance Open in twenty twenty four, finishing thirteen under

156
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: par to beat Nikolai Hoyguard by one stroke. Homo won

157
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, luc List one in twenty twenty two,

158
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 2: beating will.

159
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Zala Taurus in a playoff.

160
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: The weather forecast for this week's events looks pretty agreeable.

161
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: Temperatures in the low seventies, plenty of sun, almost no

162
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: wind and without wind. The winning score is probably not

163
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: going to be eight under par again bow like it

164
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: was last year. Probably more like thirteen fifteen under. What

165
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: categories are you zeroing in on this week at the

166
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: Farmer's Insurance Opens.

167
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: It's really a whole bag golf course. And I said

168
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: backstage before the show that it's a big boy event,

169
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: a big boy golf course for at least three of

170
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: the days, and that's just really it tells me that

171
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: I need to focus more on the macro view ball

172
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 3: striking statistics in general. If I do drill down, it's

173
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: going to be on proximity on approach shots over two

174
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: hundred yards, which there are many, many approach shots over

175
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: two hundred yards on this golf course. More than two

176
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 3: thirds of the approach shots on these driving hole are

177
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 3: going to be more than two hundred yards away, some

178
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: of them even two hundred and fifty yards away because

179
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 3: of the length of the south course, So two hundred

180
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: plus proximity overall ball striking. If I'm looking at strokes

181
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: gained on approach in general, I like the strokes gained

182
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: off the t metric, but I also prefer good drives gained.

183
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: That's another good one for this course because it's a

184
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 3: combination of distance and accuracy, and where the strokes gained

185
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: metric weirdly just kind of tells you what kind of

186
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: position they're in for their approach after the drive. I

187
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: like to use both of those just to kind of

188
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: get a sense for okay on a tougher golf course.

189
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: I'm going to filter for more difficult scoring relative to

190
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: par as well, that's really what it comes down to.

191
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: I'm not really kind of over picking the stats in

192
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: this week because we have a pretty evenly spaced field.

193
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: When it comes down to it, with no Scotty, no Rory,

194
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: you're looking at a bunch of guys that are not

195
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 3: really that much different in town level. It's going to

196
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: come down to who plays better for four days at

197
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: a really cool venue. And of course the weather's gonna

198
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: be perfect. It's in San Diego.

199
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding, Well, it was pretty breezy last year.

200
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: There was some less than ideal.

201
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 3: But character squalls.

202
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: Yes, definitely.

203
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: Do you look at bogey avoidance in this tournament with

204
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 2: like we saw Harris English grind his.

205
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Way to a victory last year.

206
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: I mean, that guy just kept making par after par

207
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: after par, getting a few bogies at opportune times.

208
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: But is that a key category for you?

209
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: Not necessarily a key category, it's definitely involved. Bogey avoidance

210
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: and scrambling are always going to be important stats at

211
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: any event, especially when it's not one of the resort

212
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: courses that's going to be a birdie fest, any non

213
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: birdi fest. You're looking at including those metrics. I think

214
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: Harris English's performance last year happened to be because he's

215
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 3: a great wind player and the wind popped up. Nobody

216
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: really expected that, and so those grinders like him and

217
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: Kirk Kittiyama and some of the guys that who really

218
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: just don't aren't phased by windy conditions on tough golf courses,

219
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: those are the kinds of guys that can rise up

220
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: if the weather is a lot like that. Right now,

221
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: I'm just looking at those straight up categories, see where

222
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: people are falling, and then just kind of going with

223
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: my gut for the tie breakers because this is a

224
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: very evenly matched field. I'll keep saying that throughout the show.

225
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: Now we will get to the odds for the Farmer's

226

236
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: Let's get to the odds for the farmers. Xander Schaffley

237
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: is the favorite. He was plus fourteen point fifty at

238
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: last check, defending Champ Ludvig Oberg is seventeen to one,

239
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 2: Cameron Young eighteen to one, Patrick Cantley twenty two and

240
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: a half to one, Sewu Kim twenty four to one,

241
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: Jj Sphond twenty five to one, Chris Goddrup and Hideki

242
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: Matsuyama are twenty nine to one. Maverick McNeely, Jason Dane

243
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: Harris English are thirty one to one, Alex Norrin thirty

244
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: six to one, Keegan Bradley thirty seven to one, and

245
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: Taylor Pendrith thirty eight to one. Do you like any

246
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: of these guys?

247
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: Bo I?

248
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: Do I like Xander Schoffley. He's number one in my model.

249
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting some of the books are going

250
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 3: to these single digits instead of increments of five. That's

251
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: actually helpful because it allows for less movement during the week.

252
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: I think that's why they do it, because we got

253
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: We're gonna get a little bit less of an edge,

254
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: but it's also gonna be a little more predictable with

255
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: the odds in one increments instead of five. Xander Schaffley's

256
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: odds are fine. It's double digits for a favorite. That's

257
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: always nice. What concerns me is this is a very

258
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: tough place to put at, even if you're a good

259
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: Poeana putter. He's one hundred and third in putting in

260
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: this field. He's also ninety second in proximity and approach

261
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: over two hundred yards. That is ugly. The rest of

262
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: these stats are beautiful, top five and top ten everywhere

263
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: else besides those two stats. So I like Xander Schaffley.

264
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: I love Ludwig Oberg. He is the match made for

265
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 3: this course so perfectly. He's just an amazing driver of

266
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 3: the golf ball, great ball striker, great long iron player,

267
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: and his prowess off the tn on approach kind of

268
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 3: covers up his seam weakest area, which is the short game,

269
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: most notably plutting. But he's still fortieth in this field

270
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: out of one hundred and fifty in putting. So I'm

271
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 3: not worried Aboutludwig Oberg in any category where there's a

272
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: couple of very important categories where I do wonder if

273
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: Xanderschoffley is going to be the right guy to pick

274
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: this week. I have no concern about Ludwig Oberg. He

275
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: is next. This is a very confident bet on Ludwig

276
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: Oberg at plus seventeen fifty this week.

277
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: Now let me hit you with a few bots for

278
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: both of these guys. So Andrew Schaffley, He's had three

279
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: top ten finishes in his last five trips to Torry Pines,

280
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: one of which was a ninth place finish at the

281
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one US Open, and he was second at

282
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: the Farmers in twenty twenty one. But does it bother

283
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: you at all that he has not played competitive golf

284
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: since I think the week after the Ryder Cup the

285
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: Bay Current Classic in Japan, although he did win that tournament.

286
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he should win that tournament. I am concerned. He's

287
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: typically a guy. Last year he had an injury that

288
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 3: made his early season really start rocky, and then it

289
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: took him a while to get into playing shape. Honestly,

290
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: that's I'm not worried about that as much as just

291
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: playing rusty at a golf course. This is the first

292
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: time you're playing competitive golf this calendar year, and it's

293
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: a it's at the Farmers. That's a real rust killer

294
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: if you're coming in not completely ready body right. I'm

295
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: a little concerned there, and so it goes to show

296
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: that I'm just not as confident in Shaftley as I

297
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: am an Oberg, even though Oberg's not hasn't been the

298
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: healthiest guy in the world.

299
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the bought with Oberg. So yes, he won

300
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: here last year. They played the Genesis Invitational a Tory

301
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: Pines last year because Riviera they couldn't play there because

302
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: of the fires in Southern California, so they played at

303
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: Tory Pines. Oberg won there, but something about the Southern

304
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: California climate doesn't agree with him. Bawl. He's from the

305
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: AMX last week due to illness.

306
00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: Whether it's two.

307
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: Nice I.

308
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: Like it was not one of those manufactured illnesses where

309
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: he was playing poorly. He was nine under par through

310
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: the first two rounds when he withdrew. And oddly enough,

311
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: Obert got sick at this event last year and had

312
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: a really tough weekend when he was just obviously not

313
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: in very good shape and route to finishing forty seconds.

314
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: So does the illness bother you at all?

315
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: It would if he was coming into the week still sick.

316
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: I did a little bit of digging today and found

317
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: that it was more of just like it was an

318
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: exhaustion type thing where he was he was sick and

319
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: he could still play, but he was getting tired and

320
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: he didn't think he could keep playing at that level

321
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: for the rest of the week. I think he's back

322
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: to one hundred percent this week, but who knows. Maybe

323
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 3: so cow weather just isn't agreeable for the young Swede's

324
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: he's a great player, and I hope he's one hundred

325
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: percent because this is the perfect opportunity for him to

326
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: really make a big name for himself in twenty twenty six.

327
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: Now, just couple notes on some of the other guys

328
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: with short odds. Cameron Young terrific off the tee. He's

329
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: certainly got the driver to win here, but he's missed

330
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: the cut in three of his last four trips to

331
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: Tory Pines.

332
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: No short, no short game.

333
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: And our guy see with kim Bo not on a

334
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: pete Die Course this week, but he has been in

335
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: really good form eleventh at the Sony, sixth at the AMX,

336
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: and he's had some top twenty fives at Tory Pines,

337
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: although he hasn't really seriously contended here. Hideki Matsuyama generally

338
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 2: plays pretty well at Tory Pines. It's a good enough

339
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 2: ball striker to win here. We just haven't seen Hideki

340
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: in peak form for a while. Then there's Jason Day

341
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 2: coming off the second place finish at the MX. Won

342
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: the Farmers Insurance Open in twenty eighteen and has posted

343
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: three top tens at the Farmers since that win. Also

344
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 2: always seems to do really well at Pebble. Just maybe

345
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: a good POA.

346
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: Potter, Jason Diz. All Right, so let's look at some

347
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: of the mid range option.

348
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: We've got Jake Knapp at forty to one, Adam Scott

349
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: four forty three to one, Michael Thorbe, Bjornsen is forty

350
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: four to one. Ryan Gerard and Rasmus Hoygard are forty

351
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 2: four to one, Sam Stevens forty six to one, Max

352
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: Hillman Wyndam Clark forty seven to one. Brooks Keepka in

353
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: his return to the PGA Tour is fifty to one.

354
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: Will zalatoris fifty two to one, Justin Rose fifty three

355
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: to one, Marco penge is fifty four to one, Garrik

356
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 2: Kigo fifty five to one, Rasmus Niegard Peterson fifty six

357
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: to one, Matt McCarty fifty seven to one, and Thorburn,

358
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 2: Olison and Aaron Ry are fifty nine to one. How

359
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: about this group, BO, Is there anyone you like here?

360
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 3: This group is loaded with guys I love. Yeah. So

361
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 3: I have one, two, three, four guys in the strange

362
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: starting with Ryan Gerard playing out of his mind to

363
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: start this season. We kind of got glimpses of that

364
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 3: towards the tail end of last year with his win

365
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: at the Barracuda, which I was in attendance for. Really

366
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: nice guy, really good golfer, very very focused golfer. He's

367
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 3: playing extremely well right now and this is another course

368
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: that fits him. You don't think of Ryan Gerrard on

369
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: tougher golf courses, but when it comes to birdier, better percentage,

370
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: he's number one in this field. And I've been talking

371
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 3: about proximity on approach over two hundred yards. He's number

372
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: one in this field. In those two categories, He's top

373
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 3: five and strokes gained teda green, top five strokes gained

374
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: on approach. He's not the best putter in the world,

375
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 3: but everything else is pointing to Ryan Gerard paying off

376
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: at his odds. I got him at forty three to one,

377
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: and let's say I'm confident about Ryan Gerard. I am

378
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: ecstatic to have brooks Kopka back on the PGA Tour,

379
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: and I'm even more ecstatic to get him opening up

380
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: at fifty three to one is where I got him,

381
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: and this is a miss price. This is a top

382
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 3: five talented golfer in the world on a golf course

383
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 3: that fits him very well. He's one of the best

384
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: ball strikers I've ever watched play, and he's got a

385
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: really decent short game. He had last year was not

386
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 3: the best at avoiding bogies. He's a veryggressive player, but

387
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: he also matches that with a pretty good scrambling game. Ironically,

388
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 3: he makes bogies just from making mistakes, but when he's

389
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: in position he can score. And brooks Keopka fifty three

390
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 3: to one, I'm doing a full ladder on him outright.

391
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: Top five, top ten, this is this is this is

392
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: gonna be a welcome back kind of moment weekend for

393
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: Brooks Kopka. I'm excited for that. Two other guys that

394
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 3: you already mentioned, one or both of them Garrett, hego Lefty,

395
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 3: South African. He's coming at fifty eight to one. This

396
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 3: is your this is your rising star twenty twenty six

397
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 3: market right now. Garrett Keego is gonna win not one,

398
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: but twice this season. He's that He's very talented, very good,

399
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: well rounded player. Came in very high in my model

400
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: number seven overall and no stat worse than middle of

401
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 3: the pack here, so very very good putter and a

402
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 3: great ball striker to boot fifth in this in this

403
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 3: field avoiding bogies. That's what we like to see from

404
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 3: a young player especially, is a really good plan in

405
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: his head. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum,

406
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: a young gun with a lot of firepower. Maybe not

407
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: the most restraint, but we've seen him take on challenging

408
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 3: golf courses already in his young career. Marco Pine sixty

409
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 3: three to one is where I got him. Marco PINNs bomber, bomber, bomber,

410
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 3: light the he could light the South course up, that's

411
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: how good he is if he's on.

412
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cannot wait to see him make his PJA

413
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 2: Tour debut.

414
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna be I mean.

415
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: He's just fund so much fun to watch Marco Pinch play.

416
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can drill out. Another guy, Jake Knapp can

417
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 2: hammer it. Finished third in his Farmer's debut in twenty

418
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: twenty four. He was seventeenth and thirty second in the

419
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: two tournaments at Tory Pines last year. We know he's

420
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: long enough off the tee. I'm just not sure forty

421
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: to one is the right price for him.

422
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: Especially when he's not the best at tougher golf courses.

423
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: We've seen him dominate on easier courses with where they

424
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: require good driving in length. He's good at that, but

425
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: he kind of tops out at that top ten level

426
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: when it comes to Tory Pines and other courses of

427
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 3: this caliber.

428
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're Sam Stevens who's played well at Tory Pines.

429
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: He was second at the Farmers last year, sixth at

430
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: the Amex last week, so he's in good form. Max Homa,

431
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: how do you feel about him? Bo he's won at

432
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: Tory Pines. Does he have his game back in shape

433
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: after a disappointing twenty twenty five season. I mean, he

434
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: did finish fourth at the AMX last week. Are you

435
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: sold yet or still kind of in wait and see

436
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: mode with He was a.

437
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: Guy I walked with at the Bearcuda last year when

438
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 3: I was I was very interested to see what kind

439
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: of mental state he was in, what kind of shape

440
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 3: his game is in. And I think that was about

441
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: the time where he started to turn it around, where

442
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: he could start to see his confidence comeback. Some of

443
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 3: these guys, the talent's always there, but sometimes they go

444
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: through it, sometimes a year or two long slump where

445
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: their mental game is that with the physical game, and

446
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 3: then the physical game suffers because they don't believe in

447
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 3: their their form. I think we're going to see a

448
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: bounce back from Maxhoma. I just don't know if it's

449
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: going to be here. Even though he's a returning champion

450
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 3: from the past, I think he's still going to have

451
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 3: to keep building back to where he was a few

452
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: years ago. I don't know that I'm wanting to bet

453
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 3: on him quite yet. He might be the kind of

454
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: guy I look at at Pebble Beach. In a couple

455
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 3: of weeks because those are the kinds of courses where

456
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: he can really use his strengths to his advantage.

457
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 2: Speaking of Pebble Beach, I'm kind of intrigued by Wyndham

458
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: Clark simply because he had one of the best putting

459
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: realms on poem that I've ever seen, was a two.

460
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: Years ago at Pebble Beach. So yeah, his.

461
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 2: Tory Pines track record not stellar, however, and you know

462
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: the Tory greens are not.

463
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: The same as the Pebble Beach greens.

464
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: Will zelatoris he was not going to make the cut

465
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: at the American Express, and then he birdied his last

466
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: two holes on Saturday to make the cut on the number.

467
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 2: On the final hole of his Saturday round, he stuffed

468
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: his approach to about a foot and then he went

469
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: out and shot a sixty five on Sunday.

470
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: So he's got a little bit of momentum.

471
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: He's a great ball striker, and he's fared very well

472
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: in a lot of the strokes gained categories at Tory Pines.

473
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: So I'm intrigued by will Zlaturus. And then just to

474
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: get back to Kepka bo, I mean, we know how

475
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: Kepka gets up for certain tournaments, majors, big events. This

476
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: is going to be meaningful to making his return than.

477
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: He's going to be motivated.

478
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is going to be fired up.

479
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: So it does seem like these are very generous odds

480
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 2: considering this isn't a great field and uh, man, I

481
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe people are expecting Russ, but I like

482
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: him at this number of odds.

483
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: Are a lot more apprehensive than we are. Let's just

484
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 3: say that.

485
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: Yes, what about guys with odds of sixty to one

486
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 2: or longer? Who are some of the who are some

487
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: of the long shots you've got your eye on?

488
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 3: I have three guys, uh for the third time this season,

489
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna out how Tong Lee, who's had a great

490
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 3: start to this year. Very talented player, and he just

491
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 3: keeps making me look smart because I was talking about

492
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: him last year and now he's getting even better. He's

493
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 3: he's apparently Scotti Scheffler's best friend. Ninety eight to one

494
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: is where I got how Tong Lee this week. So

495
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 3: there still don't know who he is in the betting markets.

496
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: They're going to find out eventually. While he's still cracking

497
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: top tens in top twenties. I'm going to keep investing

498
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: a little bit in his outright, but more of those

499
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 3: placement bets with how tong Lee with his current form

500
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: being so good. This is a guy who in my

501
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: stat model is also a really nice darling, really right

502
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: up to the top. There can't beat that. He's seventeen

503
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 3: nine model on the heels of great bogey avoidance, top

504
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: ten in this field. The only thing he's not the

505
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 3: best at is just on approach. He's kind of middle

506
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 3: of the pack, but he's a really good birdie maker,

507
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: really good putter, and he plays tough golf course as well.

508
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 3: I like to see that from a young guy like

509
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: how tong Lee. And then your guy, this is a

510
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: guy he's coming in one one eighty five to one

511
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 3: Emiliano Grillo, and we love Emiliano on this show. I'm

512
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 3: usually not the guy that bets him that. I usually

513
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 3: let you bet on Emiliano Grillo, but he really popped

514
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 3: for me this week. Fourteenth of my model, number two

515
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: in bogie avoidance in this field and number eleven on

516
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: proximity over two hundred yards. That's a nice combination, especially

517
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 3: with those odds. And then my long long shot is

518
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 3: a guy who we've seen win before. Neil Shipley. Neil Shipley,

519
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: Ohio State Buckeye long hitter, great putter, and he's he's

520
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 3: gonna find some success on a course like Tory Pines.

521
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: Interesting.

522
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 2: Not a super long shot, but I kind of like Pierson.

523
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 2: Cootie at sixty three to one, finished top twenty at

524
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: both the Sony and the MX, and he led the

525
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: tour in.

526
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Strokes ganin driving last season.

527
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 2: Might have to go back to the well on Sammy

528
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: Vallamachi the finn He's one hundred and thirty to one,

529
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 2: ranked eighteenth in strokes gain an approach last year tenth

530
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: gained tenth in strokes gain putting bo Tony Finow not

531
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: at the top of his game, but he has seven

532
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: top ten finishes at Tory Pines in the last nine

533
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: years and he is one hundred and seventy five to one.

534
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: I have to do something with Tony Finow, and if

535
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 2: I lose my money.

536
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: So be it.

537
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: But I just that price, I mean, it's just still

538
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: I see what his top ten number is now.

539
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: Oh, I can tell you what his top ten numbers.

540
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a moment.

541
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: But what about your guy, Carl Phillips at three hundred

542
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: and thirty to one and finished top twenty at the AMEX.

543
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued.

544
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: I mean, he's such a good player. I saw him there.

545
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 3: I just felt like I was feeling a little more

546
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: confident in in Neil Shipley this week, just based on

547
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: course fit. But yeah, you're not going to talk me

548
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: out at Carl Phillips three hundred and thirty to one,

549
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: just even as a top twenty bet. That would be

550
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: solid and I like rooting for the guy that.

00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: to surprise people this week, and it's a long shot.

586
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: It's meant to be a long shot. Nobody knows who

587
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: this guy is. I do, and I think he's good

588
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: enough to win this week. Ninety eight to one would

589
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 3: be an epic payoff. And what better way to kick

590
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,400

591
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,320

592
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: For my hard rock bet of the week.

593
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: Bo, you ask me what Tony Final was for a

594
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: top ten I'll tell you what it is, because that's

595
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: my hard rock bet of the week. Ton Finale for

596
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: a top ten finish at plus ten fifty that's ten

597
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 2: and a half to one. So yeah, I think that's

598
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: a pretty good price on a dude who's cast seven

599
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: top ten checks in the last nine years.

600
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 3: That's a seventy seven point seven percent cash rate on

601
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: that on that bet, Yeah, over nearly.

602
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 1: What does the rest, What does the rest of your

603
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:24,960
