00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Betting pros PGA Podcast. I'm Pat Fitzmorris,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: joined by Bau McBrayer. What a thrill ride of a

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: Master's we just witnessed. We're going to discuss it and

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: we'll offer up a full betting preview of the RBC Heritage.

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: We'll tell you who were betting this week. We'll also

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: make one and done picks. At the end of the show,

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy finally eludes his Master's demons, although they were

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: poking him in the rear end with their pitchforks every

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: step of the way. Sunday afternoon at Augustin National Rory

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: took us on a wild ride on Sunday. I don't

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: know about you, Baul. I was just totally exhausted by

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: the time Rory finally got to the butler cabin to

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: get his green jacket, just emotionally rung out. Did you

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: feel the same way?

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could say rung out is pretty accurate. It

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: was a lot of ups and downs. I happen to

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: be at work playing the Master's Final Round telecast on

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: both on my phone on the Masters app, which is

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: spectacular by the way, and on my work monitor. So

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: in between appointments, I was like making sure I didn't

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: miss any of the key moments. Yeah, it's a roller coaster.

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: It was the most bipolar sporting event I've ever watched,

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: where the extremes highs and lows were unbelievable. I think

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: it was the most captivated I've ever been watching any

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: sporting event. And that's going back to the twenty nineteen Masters,

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: where obviously Tiger Woods is making that charge in his

27
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: forties and that was special because he got to win

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: it in front of his kids. Rory McElroy getting that

29
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: albatross off his back is it's one of the greatest

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: moments I've ever witnessed just on TV, and it's it

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: was so exhausting, and I'm still pretty tired and I

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 2: didn't even drink last night and I feel hungover.

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Pat Yeah, that was it. I mean you mentioned Tiger

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: that year, Jack Nicholas in nineteen eighty six, Rory McElroy

35
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five.

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: That's It's.

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I would group those yeah as like Masters where sort

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: of everyone was well, almost everyone was on board with

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: one golfer and taking us through this.

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: Even the haters were pretty like that was I think

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: there was a lot of Rory haters that kind of

42
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: shut their mouth after that, because the moment, the raw

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: human moment, as soon as that putt dropped and he

44
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: threw his putter over his head and just collapsed into

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: a ball of emotion, Like the release of that was

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: something that any human being with a pulse that's not

47
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: a complete sociopath felt that, because whether it's the final

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: major to complete the Grand Slam or getting a promotion

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: at work that you worked really hard for, that release

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: that accomplishment is a real human interaction, like we felt

51
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: Rory exhale there, We all exhaled, even though we were

52
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: gasping for about four and a half hours yesterday.

53
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Indeed, So yeah, Rory finally wins the mats to complete

54
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: the career Grand Slam. He beat Justin Rose in a

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: playoff with a birdie on the eighteenth hole after missing

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: a short par putt on the eighteenth a little while

57
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: earlier that would have won it for him. Rory and

58
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: Rose had both finished eleven under par. They both had

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: good drives to start the playoff. Rose hit a good

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: approach out to about eighteen feet. Rory hit a gap

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: wedge that spun back to about three feet, Rose missed

62
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: his pot, Rory rolled his in for the win. That

63
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: was the playoff, but what a long, strange trip it

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: was to get there. Rose grabbed the first round lead

65
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: by shooting sixty five on Thursday. His only bogie of

66
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: the day came on the eighteenth hole. Rory had played

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: wonderfully on Thursday, bogie free golf through fourteen holes and

68
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: was sitting at four under par. Then he stumbled home

69
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: with double bogies on fifteen and seventeen to finish even

70
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: for the day, and it seemed like it was going

71
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: to be the same old tale of woe for Rory

72
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: augustin National. But Rory rolled roared back with a sixty

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: six on Friday to get back into the thick of things.

74
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: Rose continued to hold the lead at minus eight, but

75
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: Bryson d Chambeau was just one shot back. Mceilroy and

76
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Corey Connors were two shots back, defending champ Scottie Scheffler

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: three shots back. So set up for a good weekend.

78
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: Rory kept it rolling on Saturday, hit his second had

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: a second consecutive sixty six to grab the lead at

80
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: twelve under par. D Chambeau finished Saturdays round ten under

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Corey Connors was thirty eight under and everyone else trailed

82
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: by six or more shots. On Sunday, Justin Rose shot

83
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: a four over par seventy five on Saturday that seemed

84
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: like it was going to knock him out of contention.

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Seemed like Sunday was going to be a head to

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: head duel between Rory and Bryson, a rematch of there

87
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: had to head duel at Pinehurst last year in the

88
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: US Open, where Bryson prevailed. Not quite how it worked out.

89
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: The two shot lead Rory had going into Sunday's round

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: did not last long. He double bogie the first hole,

91
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Bryson parted to tie for the lead. Then Bryson birdie

92
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: the par five second to take a one shot lead.

93
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: Same old story for Rory, right, but Rory answered with

94
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: berdie's on number three and number four while Bryson bogie

95
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: both of those two holes. All of a sudden, Rory's

96
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: lead was up to three shots. Bryson just couldn't get

97
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: it going again. His powder went cold. He didn't make

98
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: his second birdie of the day until the fourteenth hole,

99
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: but by then he was basically cooked. He found the

100
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: pond to the left of the green on eleven and

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: made a double bogie. Couldn't get up and down from

102
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: the bunker at the par three twelfth and made a bogie.

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: Just wasn't Bryson's day, but it was justin Rose's day.

104
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: He just made birdie after birdie on Sunday when he

105
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: rolled in an eighteen foot on the seventy second hole.

106
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: That was his tenth birdie of the round. Rose shot

107
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: of sixty six, also in the hunt liveg Oberg. Oberg

108
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: finished second last year in his master's debut and found

109
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: himself in the hunt yet again on Sunday, but a

110
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: bogie on the seventeenth pretty much ruined the young swedes chances,

111
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: and then he made a sloppy triple bogee on eighteen

112
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: that dropped him in the seventh place. But back to Rory,

113
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: he seemed to have things on cruise control after Birdie's

114
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: on nine to ten. You might remember that he had

115
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: that bad miss left off the he on number ten

116
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: that ruined his chances to win in twenty eleven after

117
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: he had gone into the last round with a big lead.

118
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: Then Rory caught a big break on number eleven. He

119
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: pushed his drive out Yeah, bo, we were texting about

120
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: this after it happened. He kind of pushed his drive

121
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: out to the right, so he had did a low

122
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: running iron into the green to avoid tree branches. Rory's

123
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: punch shot nearly ran into the same pond on the

124
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: left that Bryson found another inch or two and Rory's

125
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: ball was wet. Still bogie the hole, but it could

126
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: have been so much worse. Then on the power five thirteenth,

127
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Rory elected to play it safe, takes a threewood off

128
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: the tee, lays up in front of Ray's creek. Seemed

129
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: to be set up for an easy par possibly a birdie.

130
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: Then Rory dumped a little wed shot into the creek,

131
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: an astoundingly bad shot, Bo, even for all of us

132
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: sixteen handicappers.

133
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: That's one of the worst shots I've ever seen anywhere

134
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: at any level. He missed his mark by thirty yards.

135
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: He did on an eighty four yard hard shot.

136
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was supposed to hit it left of the

137
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: hole and cascade it down that slope, and he hit

138
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: it right of the hole somehow.

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, front bank bounces into the creek double bogie, and

140
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: suddenly Rory had slipped into a tie for the lead.

141
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: A bogie on the fourteenth hole put Rory one shot back,

142
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: but then he came to the par five fifteenth he

143
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: one of the best shots I've ever seen ball.

144
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: It's like he hits up there. That was. It's absurd.

145
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: I had it on loop last night.

146
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: That was.

147
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: That's how I calmed down to go to sleep. Was.

148
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: I just watched that approach on fifteen over and over

149
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: and over because it was as pure as it gets.

150
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rory overcooked his draw a little bit off the tee,

151
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: so he had some tree issues from I believe two

152
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: hundred and three yards out. Rory hit a hard draw

153
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: with a seven iron, carried the pond in front of

154
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: the green, came to within five or six feet. He

155
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: did miss the eagle pot, but he made a critical

156
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: birdie to stop the bleeding get him back into a

157
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: tie for the lead. One of the most amazing shots

158
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Just the degree of difficulty on that

159
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: shot my good. And to see Rory do it on

160
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: the hole that had tripped him up on Thursday with

161
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: that double bogie really satisfying. And so after missing a

162
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: makeable birdie put on sixteen, Rory made another birdie on

163
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: seventeen after his appro shot just barely cleared the falls

164
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: front and rolled out to within three feet. Boy, I

165
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: know people are going to put that one in the

166
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: same category as the shot on fifteen. I think Rory

167
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: missed his appro shot quite honestly. Like, I think he

168
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: came up way short of his intended target on that

169
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: and because he didn't flush it, there was no spin

170
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: and the ball released and went right up to the hole.

171
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: But I think it was a miss quite honestly.

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. It reminded me of the miss hit he had

173
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: a few years ago in the Masters with the three wood.

174
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: He was trying to reach the green intwo and mishit

175
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: it and it just kind of rolled out to the

176
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: perfect spot that it wasn't with his intention to hit

177
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: that shot.

178
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, So then came the bogie on eighteen and his

179
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: eventual triumph. In the playoff, Rory finished his minus eleven,

180
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: as did Justin Rose. Patrick. Reid finished solo third. He

181
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: just kept chugging along four straight rounds under par. He

182
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: and Sung J. M. Were the only players in this

183
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: year's Masters to finish under par in all four of

184
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: their rounds. Reid hold his approach shot on number seventeen

185
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: for an eagle that helped lift him in a third.

186
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: But Bo, Patrick Reid at about four feet for Bertie

187
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: on number thirteen. Oh for eagle, that's right. Excuse me? Wait, no, no, no, Bertie,

188
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: he laid up on thirteen.

189
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: Oh that's right.

190
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: Yes, so he miss missed the four footer.

191
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bertie, he almost hold that third shot over the

192
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: creek though.

193
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: He did, he did. It was a beautiful shot, but

194
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: he missed the birdie putt and then missed the comebacker

195
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: for Parr walked away with a really disappointing Can you

196
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: imagine if Reid had made birdie on thirteen and that

197
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: hole out on number seventeen had gotten him to minus eleven, Like,

198
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: no one is going to remember Patrick Reid's eagle on

199
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: number seventeen long term, but if that had gotten him

200
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: into a tie for the lead, it would have become

201
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: one of the most memorable Masters shots of all time.

202
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so yeah, Bo, just I need your overall

203
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Masters. What stood out to you? What

204
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: will you always remember from the twenty twenty five Masters.

205
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: I'll always remember the strength of the leaderboard, how Rory

206
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 2: overcame and fell short. And overcame and fell short. It

207
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: was a roller coaster of emotions for everyone, even if

208
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: you're not a Rory McElroy fan, if you're just a

209
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 2: sports fan or a golf fan. That's especially it's he's

210
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: a sixth male golfer to ever complete the Career Grand Slam,

211
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 2: six in the history. The twelve men have walked on

212
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: the Moon in the last fifty five years, and only

213
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: two people, Tiger and Rory, have completed the Career Grand

214
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: Slam since then. So yeah, it's it's crazy. We're talking crazy, crazy, crazy,

215
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: or Tiger and Jack and then Rory are the only guys.

216
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: There's fewer guys to win the Career Ground Slam in

217
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: the modern era than have walked on the damn Moon,

218
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: So it's it's insane. Rory finally got that monkey off

219
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: his back. He got to celebrate with his his wife

220
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: and daughter. That was special, the celebration with him just

221
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: bawling his eyes out all the way back to the

222
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: Butler cabin and crying some more like we're all just

223
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: a wreck, Like I was crying. My buddy Connor was crying.

224
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: That's his favorite golfer of all time since he was

225
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: a young golfer himself has been rooting for Rory McElroy

226
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 2: and it's so nice to see it happen after eleven

227
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: years of just terrible luck, terrible choking, and he just

228
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: did it. And so it was nice to see some

229
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: other guys in the field that made a charge. Justin

230
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: Rose what a class act like to make that kind

231
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: of charge. He almost stormed his way right into the

232
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: Butler cabin with a sixty six yesterday. That Justin Rose

233
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: final round was epic. And for him to get into

234
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: that playoff and then lose but be as gracious and

235
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: classy as ever. That's his twentieth Masters. He hadn't won

236
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: it either. I just I couldn't get over how just

237
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: the pageantry of it all was perfect. It was the

238
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: perfect sporting event. It completed my weekend in such an

239
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: amazing way. I was. I'm grateful for that to experience

240
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: that sporting event.

241
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Same same and yeah, Justin Rose. The funny thing is

242
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: the last playoff before yesterday at Augusta National twenty seventeen,

243
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: where Justin Rose also lost to Sergio Garcia that year.

244
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: So I would love to see Rose get another change.

245
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: And I was devastated for Rose that year. Yes, so

246
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: I was so into Rose that year and Sergia stole

247
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: it from him.

248
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I think Justin Rose probably had more people in his

249
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: corner against Sergio yesterday, how'd you do on your master's pats?

250
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: I ended up cracking a top ten with Ludwig Oberg.

251
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 2: I had a couple kind of side bets, but it

252
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: was it was a red numbers for for the betting column,

253
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: but it was also kind of worth it because of

254
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: all the other things that happened that were so amazing.

255
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was able to churn a small profit because

256
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: of Patrick Reid, who I ladder bets for a win

257
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: a top five, top ten, top twenty, didn't hit anything else.

258
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: I bet Scottie to win on Friday night when he

259
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: was three shots back and his odds were the same

260
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: as they were at the start of the week. Plus

261
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: four hundred didn't work out, but I did sprinkle a

262
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: little more money on Patrick Reid doubling down on a

263
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: top five, so that worked out. But a big maya

264
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: kulpa to anyone who tailed me on what I said

265
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: was my favorite bet of the week, Max Homa to

266
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: miss the cut. I really thought it was a great bet.

267
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: Bo home has just been a train wreck all year,

268
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: and he opened with a seventy four, but then he

269
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: got hot with the putter on the back nine Friday

270
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: and started rolling in par and birdie pots, and then

271
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: Max stayed hot. He went sixty nine to seventy one

272
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: on the weekend to finish tied for twelve. So that

273
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: was terrible betting advice, I mean, but I'm still happy

274
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: for Max. He seems like a really good guy. You

275
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't think Augusta National would be the place to find

276
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: your game, but hopefully this was a slumpbuster for Max Homa.

277
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: It was, and that that's the kind of thing that

278
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: it's talk about, the ultimate place to find your game,

279
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: as unlikely as it was for anybody to find form

280
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: his first made cut since the middle of last year.

281
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: That's crazy. He hadn't made any cuts. Crazy, and he

282
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: makes the cut at the Masters, and not only that,

283
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: but finishes very high on the standings, makes a nice

284
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: little paycheck for himself. You love to see it, and

285
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: he's in the field this week, so let's let's keep

286
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: it rolling, Max and Bo.

287
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: Before we turn to the RBC Heritage, one more quick

288
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: word about Rory McElroy. Rory has now won at Pebble Beach,

289
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: at Sawgrass and at Augusta National this year. The PGA

290
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: Championship is going to be played at Quail Hollow next month.

291
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: Rory has a great track record.

292
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: He owns he owns it.

293
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: He owns it. The Open Championship is going to be

294
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: played at Royal Port Rash in Northern Ireland, Rory's home country.

295
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: This could be an absolutely epic season.

296
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: And the US opens at Oakmont where I guess what

297
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: if you're a good long straight hitter off the tee

298
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: that sounds somebody like guy and like Roy McElroy could

299
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: dominate And I tweeted this yesterday, he very well could

300
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: sweep the majors and it wouldn't surprise anyone because of

301
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: how it's set up now is he got that, he

302
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: got the Masters out of the way, and now it's

303
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: smooth sailing. We might not be talking about just one

304
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: career Grand Slam. It might to be the the Grand

305
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: Slam like Bobby Jones style, because this is it's his

306
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: to lose with these three majors left on the calendar, and.

307
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,360

317
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's face it, the RBC Heritage is never

318
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: going to top this year's Masters for excitements, but this

319
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: is still a very compelling event. The PGA Tour is

320
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: given the RBC Heritage signature status, so we're getting a

321
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: small but excellent field of about seventy players and there's

322
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: no cut this week. Players who were unable to get

323
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: their hands on the Green jacket at Augusta can try

324
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: to win the Tartan Jacket, which goes to the winner

325
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: of this event. The RBC Heritage will be played at

326
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: Harbortown on Hiltonhead Island. It's a classic PGA Tour venue,

327
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: a par seventy one, measuring seven two hundred and thirteen yards,

328
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: and it's certainly a much different type of course than Augusta.

329
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: Accuracy off the ta is at a premium on this

330
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: peat die design. The fairways are narrow and a lot

331
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: of them are hemmed in by trees. We've seen a

332
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: lot of short, straight hitters win here over the years.

333
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: Jim Furick won this tournament multiple times, Justin Leonard Matt

334
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick won here two years ago. Luke Donald always used

335
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: to play well here. The greens are small, so scrambling

336
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: is going to be important this week, so is bunker play.

337
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: There's a lot of sand at Harbortown. These are Bermuda greens,

338
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: so you might want to consider investing in Bermuda specialists

339
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: like Russell Henley and Daniel Berger. A lot of the

340
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: approach shots are going to come from middle iron distance.

341
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: Three of the par threes at Harbor Turn are in

342
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: the one hundred and ninety two yard to two hundred

343
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: yard range. And what else. The weather forecast looks pretty good,

344
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: temperatures in the low to upper seventies most of the tournament.

345
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: No rain in the forecast, but players will have to

346
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: deal with a sea breeze at Harbortown, Winds are expected

347
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: to be in the ten to fifteen mile per hour

348
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: range for much of the week. The defending champ is

349
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler. Scotty was nineteen under power last year, three

350
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: shots better than runner up Seaheath Thigala. As mentioned a

351
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: moment ago, Matt Fitzpatrick one in twenty twenty three, finishing

352
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: minus seventeen and beating Jordan Speath in a playoff. It

353
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: was almost a second straight win here for Speith, who

354
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: took the Tartan jacket in twenty twenty two after finishing

355
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: minus thirteen and beating Patrick Cantlay in a playoff, and

356
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: Stuart Sink won here by four shots in twenty twenty one,

357
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: finishing nineteen under bowe your thoughts on Harbor Town.

358
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: You got to be accurate off the tee, accurate on approach,

359
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: and hold on for dear life. This is an ultimate

360
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: ball striker's paradise. So unless you have a really terrible

361
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: short game, I think you can compete here. It's a

362
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: wide open field. Unfortunately for us, we only have to

363
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: pick from seventy one guys this week, so half as

364
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: many options. Kind of lets us narrow it down. The

365
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: odds have kind of tightened as well, so we're not

366
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: getting a lot of really nice value in this betting

367
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: odds field because of how many great golfers are at

368
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: the top. The elevated status kind of throws a monkey

369
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: wrench into it for us because because there's a lot

370
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: of guys with short odds who very well could win

371
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: the same because it's it's a really straightforward golf course.

372
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: He just there's no mystery to it. You hit the

373
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: ball straight, put it on the green, and two putt

374
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: or one putt, and that's that's kind of what the

375
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 2: name of the game here is. Scotty Scheffler, This course

376
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: has made for him no wonder. He won the Masters

377
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: last year, came to Harbortown the next week with expecting

378
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: a baby at the same time, like his child hadn't

379
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: been born yet, like Meredith was about to pop at

380
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 2: the time. He went to South Carolina for the Heritage

381
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: and he won that too. It's just if you can

382
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: hit it in the fairway and find the find the greens.

383
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: This is this place can light. You can have really

384
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: low scores across the board just looking for those ball strikers,

385
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: and it doesn't hurt to have some Bermuda specialist in you.

386
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, not surprising. Scotty is a heavy favorite at plus

387
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: three sixty. Colin Morricaw and Xander Schoffley are both plus

388
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: eleven hundred, Ludwig Obergs plus twelve hundred, Just Thomas plus

389
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred, Patrick Cantlay plus eighteen hundred, Shane Lowry plus

390
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: twenty two hundred, Corey Connors plus twenty five hundred, Russell

391
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: Henley plus twenty eight hundred. Victor Hoblin and Tommy Fleetwood

392
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: are plus three thousand. Jordan Speith is plus thirty five

393
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: hundred and Sung j M. Robert McIntyre and Jason Day

394
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: are plus four thousand. Does Scotty offer us any valued

395
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: plus three sixty board? Would you rather hit your wagon

396
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: as someone else from this group?

397
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say there's any value there, but if you're

398
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: looking to just cash in on a high likelihood of winning,

399
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: Beth plus three sixty on Scotty. Because we should have

400
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: seen that Rory could have won the Masters last week

401
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: at plus six fifty. I thought that was too short,

402
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 2: and Scotty's even shorter plus three sixty it's not like

403
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: you're getting a lot of value from the other top guys.

404
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: I mean you're looking at less than fifteen to one

405
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: payouts for Oberg, Shafflee, Colin It. All these guys are

406
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 2: getting short odds because that's a short field. So why

407
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: not Betsy Gotti Scheffler plus three sixty. I don't see

408
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: the value. But if you're looking for an eat, quick

409
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: and easy win three and a half times your money,

410
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: go and go for it. My money is going to

411
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: start at Colin Moore Kabwa at twelve to one. That

412
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: number one ball striker in this field, number one in

413
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: ball striking period, number two in proximity on approach, for

414
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: all the distances we're looking at. He's a little bit

415
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: iffy around the greens and putting, but as far as

416
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: it goes, finding fairways is his game, and hitting it

417
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: close on approach is even more of his game. So

418
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: I don't know that we have to worry about Colin

419
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: scrambling as much at Hilton Head. He's a really really

420
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 2: good pick here. I'm going to go with Colin more

421
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: Kaba at twelve to one. But you mentioned one of

422
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 2: these guys. Russell Henley twenty eight to one. Hell yeah,

423
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: Bermuda specialist, a twenty eight to one great, great short game.

424
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: So even if his approach game is not quite as

425
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 2: good as it has been, it's been pretty good this season.

426
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: He's number ten and birdie's made here. He's number one

427
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: on strokes game Part four and number two in fairways game.

428
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: He's an accurate driver of the golf ball and he's

429
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: got an amazing short game. So if he can stay

430
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: flat on approach, where we're looking at Russell henleyweek, I'm

431
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: also on the fence because Corey Connor's absolutely awful short game.

432
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: We saw that should Corey Connor should have won the Masters.

433
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: He was hitting the ball closer than anybody, he was

434
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: making more birdies than anybody, but he could not putt,

435
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 2: and he could not get up and down when he

436
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 2: was out of position. This is this golf course isn't

437
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: gonna have any of that danger for Corey Connors. Corey

438
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 2: Connors has a sweet swing, he's a great driver, he's

439
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: a great approach player. He just has no short game.

440
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: He can't putt, can't ship. So I'm looking for that

441
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: upside at twenty two to one with Corey Connors. I

442
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: just don't know how aggressively I'm gonna get with him,

443
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: but Henley and Colin for sure. Connors, I'm leaning that way.

444
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 2: I'm heading the I'm headed to Canada to bet on

445
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: Corey Connors. Let's see what I come up with along

446
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: the way.

447
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: Henley is an audio bet for me on any Bermuda

448
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: corsepally just.

449
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: A shorter Bermuda course.

450
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. He missed the cut at the Masters, but

451
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: he has one top ten and three top twenties in

452
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: his last four RBC Heritage starts. You mentioned Morikawa, like,

453
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: his results haven't been all that noteworthy at this event.

454
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: Two top tens in five appearances here, no top fives,

455
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: but I mean he does seem like such a good

456
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: fit for the course. Totally agree with you there. Oberg

457
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: finished tenth in his debut at Harbortown a year ago,

458
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: but he's coming off a Master's appearance, like, I mean,

459
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: it went really well for seventy out of seventy two holes. Yeah,

460
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: but it's just the statistical profile does not seem to

461
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: fit Harbortown, with big ranks one hundred or worse in

462
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: driving accuracy, scrambling approaches from one to fifty to one

463
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: seventy five yards and approaches from one seventy five to

464
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: two hundred yards. It just doesn't seem like a good

465
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: recipe for him. One guy who does seem to have

466
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: the recipe for Harbortown Patrick Cantley. His last three RBC

467
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: Heritage finishes second, third, and third, and from twenty seventeen

468
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: to twenty nineteen third, seventh, third. In this event. He

469
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: has mister third place at Harbortown. Shane Lowry's kind of interesting.

470
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: He's been top ten here in three of the last

471
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: six years, played well for three days at Augusta before

472
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: blowing up on Sunday, and maybe he's motivated by seeing

473
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: his good buddy Rory get a green jacket. Who else?

474
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas fifth at Harbor Town a year ago. He's

475
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: been in pretty decent form and seems to put much

476
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: better on Bermuda than on other surfaces. And one other

477
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: guy we should probably mention Jordan Speeth. He's won here before.

478
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: It's weird bo. He just doesn't seem like he would

479
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: have the game for this with his wayward tendencies off

480
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: the tee, but nearly went back to back in twenty

481
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty twenty three, and he did finish

482
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: top fifteen in both the Masters and the Valero Texas

483
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: Open two weeks ago, so kind of interesting. I mean,

484
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: there aren't many bargains, but Jordan looks like pretty decent

485
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: value at plus thirty five hundred.

486
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: Especially with the course history. It does fly in the

487
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: face and just like say he Thigala last year, nobody

488
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 2: would have expected a guy who can't find a fairway

489
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 2: to do well at Harbortown. But one thing that Spieth

490
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: and and Fiala have in common is they're wizards around

491
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 2: the green. They get again in and out of trouble

492
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 2: better than anyone. So I guess that's the formula is,

493
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 2: if you can't find the fairway, you better be able

494
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: to get into the hole in a fewer amount of

495
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: shots somehow. And the wizardry that they perform on their

496
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: third shots is admirable and that's what keeps them in

497
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 2: contention at this At this place, it's an untraditional way

498
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 2: to play a pete die course, but they seem to

499
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: do it well.

500
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 1: Let's look at mid range plays. We've got stepstrac at

501
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: plus forty five hundred. Daniel Berger, Wyndham Clark and Minwule

502
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: at plus five thousand, Danny McCarthy, Maverick McNeely and JJ

503
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: Spawn at plus fifty five hundred, Kegan Bradley, Akshay Battia,

504
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: Seewoo Kim and Justin Rose at plus six thousand, Davis

505
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: Thompson Been On, Aaron Ryan, jt post It at plus

506
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: sixty five hundred, and Brian Harmon, Taylor Pendrith and Michael

507
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: Kim at plus seven thousand. How about this group, vo,

508
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: does anyone jump out to you?

509
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 2: There's two guys to jump out in. One guy that

510
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pay closer attention to because of the odds.

511
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: The first one is Daniel Berger. You mentioned Bermuda specialists.

512
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: How about Bermuda specialists on short golf courses. Daniel Berger

513
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: fits that perfectly. If he could find any semblance of

514
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: a putting stroke, we're in business here. Daniel Berger is

515
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: a great approach player, especially in those short to mid

516
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 2: iron distances, and he's very accurate off the tee. That's

517
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: half of playing at Harbortown is getting off the tee,

518
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: hitting the green, and whether the putts drop or not

519
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: will be whether Daniel Berger competes or not. The other

520
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: one is you put him on any short golf course,

521
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: and his ability to be creative and just another guy

522
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: who with a wedge in his hand on approach is lethal.

523
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: And so if he can find his way off the

524
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: fairway and find himself in some scoring opportunities on approach,

525
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: that's the kind of course, This kind of course where

526
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: ox Sebatia maybe not the most safe pick because of

527
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 2: his volatility, but his upside if he's on is unmistakable.

528
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Berger has finished top twenty five in six of

529
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: his last seven events, top thirty and seven of seven.

530
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: Hasn't played the RBC Heritage since twenty twenty two, but

531
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: he's finished twenty first or better in his last three trips,

532
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: including a third place finish in twenty twenty two. Other

533
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: guys i'll mention real quick sets. Straka missed the cut

534
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: at the Masters, but he's played well for most of

535
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: the season, and he finished third at the RBC Heritage

536
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two fifth last year. JT post in

537
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: very interesting case. He's finished top twenty here in four

538
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: of the last six years, but he missed the cut

539
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: in the other two years, and so far this season,

540
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: Poston hasn't missed any cuts in his eight tournaments, but

541
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: his best finished was a sixteenth. Yeah so yeah, probably

542
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: not good bet to win. Maybe a top ten option.

543
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: How about long shots? Bo Is there anyone at seventy

544
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: five to one or longer odds that could pay off?

545
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: I have three guys that I'm betting on for sure.

546
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: Adam Scott one hundred and twenty to one. That's crazy.

547
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: Adam Scott's got great history here, another great iron player

548
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: who is vacurate off the teeth. This is a guy

549
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: who fairways gained. Has been kind of his weakness this year,

550
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: but traditionally it hasn't been. Uh. He's just kind of

551
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: been scuffling to scramble, which is okay because his around

552
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: the green game is spectacular and he makes tons of birdies.

553
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: If this turns into a scoring fest, which it looks

554
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: like the weather might cooperate with that, for this field

555
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: to crack twenty under pars the winning score, I'm looking

556
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: Adam Scott a one hundred and twenty one going. That's

557
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: that's a pork chop on a plate right there for us.

558
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: The other one or two guys, one guy that's playing

559
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 2: amazing this season, who shored up some of his weak spots.

560
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: Rio Heisatsuni is coming out one hundred and seventy one

561
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: an amazing ball striker, and as amazing a ball striker

562
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: is his short games just as bad as his ball

563
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: striking is amazing. He's the poor man's Corey Conners. So

564
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: Rio Kisatsuni is a guy that has a ton of

565
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: upside one hundred and seventy one, that's crazy. And then

566
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: the young gun that I'm betting on every week, the

567
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: Kohala Carl Phillips two hundred and fifty to one on

568
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: this golf course, get out of town.

569
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. I know you are the engineer of

570
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: the Carl Villups bandwagon. So let's see you see he

571
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: Thinkala seventy five to one hasn't played well this season,

572
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: but he seems very comfortable at Harbortown somehow, somehow right.

573
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: Like you said, it defies odds, but he was runner

574
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: up last year, finished fifth here in twenty twenty three,

575
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: and it's seventy five to one. Kind of interesting. I'm

576
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: sort of intrigued by. I think like Tony Fino and

577
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: will Zala Taurus both at eighty to one.

578
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: Weird for two really good balls strike especially Fino.

579
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm also sort of interested in Tom Hogy,

580
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: who's been playing well lately and has two top twenty

581
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: five's at Harbortown in the last four years. So good

582
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: with the Irons, all right, But let's compare early betting

583
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: cards for the RBC Heritage. Who's on yours right now?

584
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: It's Colin Markaw at twelve to one. I mean to

585
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: probably ladder him top five, top ten, Corey Connors twenty

586
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: two to one. Russell Henley's getting the full ladder all

587
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: the way to top twenty. We're all in on Russell

588
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: Henley on this show this week. Daniel Berger's fifty to one,

589
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: Akha she Batia sixty five to one, Adam Scott one

590
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty, Rio Hisatsuni one hundred and seventy and

591
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: Carl Pillips two hundred and fifty to one. That's beautiful,

592
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: isn't it?

593
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: It is beautiful. I'm taking Patrick Cantley at plus eighteen

594
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: hundred and plus one fifty for a top ten. I've

595
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: got Russell Henley at plus twenty eight hundred only to

596
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: win right now, but I might have to ladder. I'm

597
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: with you. Jordan Spieth at plus thirty five hundred and

598
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: plus six hundred for a top five. I've got Daniel

599
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: Berger for a top five at plus seven fifty, and

600
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: I've got Tom Hogy at plus nine thousand and for

601
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: a top ten at plus five hundred.

602
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: Pat I have some bonus bets for you.

603
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

604
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the PGA, the PGA Tour betting fans want me

605
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: to give you a couple of picks for the Corals

606
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: Puntakana Championship down there in Mexico.

607
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's hear a Corlis Puntakana running concurrently with the

608
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 1: RBC Heritage since RBC Heritage has an exclusive signature field.

609
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: So who do you like in the Dominican Republic.

610
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm going with twenty to one Ben Griffin Guring playing

611
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: great golf this year, very safe pick because he's so consistent.

612
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: And then I'm going to go with the firecracker volatile pick,

613
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: which is Alejandro Tosti forty five to one. That's that

614
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: guy's got fireworks and he's of course a bomber of

615
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: the golf ball. Lots of upside. He I missed the

616
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: cut at Kapuntakana, we don't know. And the d R

617
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: is fun but toasty. Forty five to one to get

618
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,440
