1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Betting Pros PGA Podcast. I'm Pat Fitzmorris 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: here with Bo mcbrair. The three week FedEx Cup playoffs 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: begin on Thursday with the FedEx Saint Jude Classic, and 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: we are going to preview that tournament from a betting perspective. 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: But first, let's quickly recap the final event of the 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: PGA Tour regular season, the Windham Championship, and I can 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: promise you a very quick recap because this one was 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: a blowout. Cameron Young got his first PGA Tour victory, 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: winning by six shots. He opened with rounds of sixty 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: three and sixty two, shot a sixty five on Saturday 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: to carry a big lead into the final round, and 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: then he birdied five straight holes on the front nine 13 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: to pretty much eliminate any drama. Young led by nine 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: shots at one point he put it on cruise control 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: on the back nine. He finished twenty two under par 16 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: Mac Meisner won the race for second place. He was 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: sixteen under. Mark Hubbard and Alex Norin tied for third 18 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: at fifteen under. Cameron Young became the one thousandth different 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: player to ever win a PGA Tour event. That's kind 20 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: of a fun stat bo. It's kind of hard to 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: believe the twenty eight year old Young had not won before. 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: It's a very good player who's contended in a bunch 23 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: of different events in recent years, and he's shown up 24 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: in majors. Cam Young was runner up at the Open 25 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: Championship in twenty twenty two. He's had a couple of 26 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: top tens at the Open, also at the Masters, couple 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: of top tens, finished fourth at this year's US Open, 28 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: and he's had a top five finish at the PGA Championship. 29 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 1: And now Cameron Young is ranked twenty first in the world. 30 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,639 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Cameron Young's victory at the wind. 31 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: Him It was really impressive. He's got all the game. 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: I think the mental side of it has been eluding 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: him for a while, but it's always been it's always 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: been the short game in the putting that has really 35 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: taken him down a notch or two. And he's always 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: kind of scored well on Sundays in all those runner 37 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: up finishes that he's had, so it's no wonder that 38 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: he finally puts together a great round of ball striking. 39 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: He gained a ton of strokes off the tee and 40 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: on approach, but he gained tons of strokes on putting 41 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: as well, and it was mainly because he was hitting 42 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: it so close on approach. He was hitting it so 43 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: close on approach. I think the longest putt he made 44 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: all week was thirty five feet, which which means he 45 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: was sticking it in there real close and making the 46 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: putts that mattered. He made a lot of birdies sixty 47 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: three sixty two to start the tournament, pretty much put 48 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: everybody on notice that they're going to have to score 49 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: like crazy to keep up with him. But that course 50 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: was playing tough. Sedgefield was playing pretty fast, it was 51 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: playing difficult with all the undulation on the greens. The 52 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: moisture didn't really slow the course down as much as 53 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: that it made the rough even more penal cam young, 54 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: all the talent in the world, I kind of think 55 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: that it was meant to be where his first win 56 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: was gonna make him the one thousandth unique champion on 57 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 2: the PGA Tour. That's really cool, and he's still really young. Obviously, 58 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: growing up as a son of a teaching professional, kind 59 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: of like Justin Thomas Is, there's a lot of expectations 60 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: growing up for that person to become a professional golfer 61 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 2: and one that wins, and where we've seen JT win 62 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: a lot over the years, Cameron Young has been oh 63 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 2: so close, and now the door just got blown off. 64 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: And with how good he is playing now, we're definitely 65 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: looking at him host in his home state, possibly making 66 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: that Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black in next month. 67 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 2: That's gonna be really interesting to see if he can 68 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: parlay this success at the Windham into the playoffs to 69 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: get into that team, because that would be really cool. 70 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: Team USA needs all the help it can get against Europe, 71 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: even at home this year. Cam Young being the New Yorker, 72 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: that'll be huge for the Team USA if he can 73 00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: make it. 74 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, see if Young can keep the momentum going into 75 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: the FedEx Cup playoffs. And we will get to the 76 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: betting preview for the first event of the playoffs, the 77 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: FedEx Cup Saint Jude Championship in just a moment. 78 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: But first download the free Betting pros app for iOS 79 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: and Android.

The 94 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: FedEx Cup Saint Jude Championship is a no cut event. 95 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: Everyone plays seventy two holes. The tournament will be played 96 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: at TPC South Wind in Memphis, Tennessee. It's a par 97 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 1: seventy course measuring seven thousand, two hundred and eighty eight yards. 98 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: This course was built on a former dairy farm. 99 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: Bow Oh, that's right up your alley. 100 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: Scenery includes a couple of grain silos in a windmill. 101 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: No word on whether they have good cheese curds on site, 102 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: but the greatest defense mechanisms at TPC south Wind are 103 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: water and thick rough water comes into play on quite 104 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: a few holes. It's especially prominent on the eleventh, fourteenth, 105 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: and eighteenth holes. The eleventh is a par three with 106 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: an island green, and it's listed at one hundred and 107 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: sixty eight yards, which makes it about thirty yards longer 108 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: than the island hole at TPC Sawgrass. Fourteenth is a 109 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: two hundred and five yard par three with water in 110 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: front of the green and to the right of the green. 111 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: The eighteenth is a four hundred and fifty three yard 112 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: par four with water running down the left side of 113 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: the hole. Missed the Zouja grass fairways and you'll often 114 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: find thick chewy Bermuda rough and TPC south Wind as 115 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: tight fairways. Of course also has small firm Bermuda greens. 116 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: The average approach shot at TPC south Wind is from 117 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: right around one hundred and sixty yards out. That's five 118 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: or six yards closer than the average approach distance on tour. 119 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: Adeki Matsuyama is the defending champ. He finished seventeen under 120 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: power last year, two shots better than Xanderschoffle and Victor Hovland. 121 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: Lucas Glover won here in twenty twenty three, finishing fifteen 122 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: under par and beating Patrick can't Lay in a playoff. 123 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: Will Zlatorres was minus fifteen and beat Stepstrak in a 124 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: playoff in twenty twenty two, and Tony Fino beat Cam 125 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: Smith in a playoff to win here in twenty twenty one. 126 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: Seems like an event that draws a lot of playoff finishes. 127 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Both of those guys feed on Campsmith were twenty under 128 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: par in twenty twenty one. The weather forecast this week 129 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: calls for hot, sticky conditions, no surprise for Memphis this 130 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: time of year, high temperatures in the mid nineties all 131 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: four days with mostly sunny conditions. There's no rain in 132 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: the forecast, and the wind should be light throughout the tournament. Bow. 133 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: What's it going to take to win a TPC South. 134 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: One Accuracy and consistency, and if you are off, you 135 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: have to be able to make a par. Avoid bogie, 136 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 2: avoid double bogie. Double bogie avoidance here is huge because 137 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: these greens, not only are they small and firm, but 138 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: they put fast and fast Bermuda is tricky. It throws 139 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: a whole monkey wrench into a lot of stat models 140 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: unless you filter for fast Bermuda greens. Because this course 141 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: is right around too or average for length arounds just 142 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 2: over seventy two hundred yards. It's really narrow, it's really tight, 143 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: and if you miss your spots, you're not going to 144 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: have a good time making par, very penal rough off 145 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: the fairways if you miss, and then if you miss 146 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: the greens to be able to scramble and get up 147 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: and down, because this is just everything about this course 148 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: is tricky, but good shots are rewarded here. So if 149 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: you're somebody at the top of this leaderboard, or if 150 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: you're something somebody's trying to sneak into that top fifty 151 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: to play the BMW next week, it's going to have 152 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: to be hitting quality shots all four days, no blow 153 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: up holes, because this course will take away what you 154 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: give it. And that's why you see good winning scores 155 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: between twelve and eighteen under par and sometimes an outlier 156 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 2: at twenty under par. But judging by hot and humid conditions, 157 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: it's going to be a grind for a lot of 158 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: these guys. But that doesn't mean that there's not gonna 159 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: be a few guys that go pretty low. If you 160 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 2: have good shots going in there, there's gonna be some 161 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: good scores out there for top seventy. I think it's 162 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: a really great opening salvo to the playoffs. 163 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: It is, indeed, And if you hit fairways and greens, 164 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna have birdie luck. Yes, so you will get 165 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: penalized by you know, the roth in the water, But 166 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: there are birdy opportunities here for sure. And we will 167 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: get to the odds in just a moment, right after 168 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: a word about our sponsor, no Vigue. 169 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: Are you looking for a smarter way to play? There's 170 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: a new sports trading platform that's changing the game. It's 171 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 2: called no Vig. It's legal in most states, including Georgia, California, 172 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 2: and Texas.

All odds are courtesy of DraftKings as 188 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: of Monday afternoon. Scottie Scheffler opens as an overwhelming favorite 189 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: at plus two point eighty. No surprise there. Rory McElroy 190 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: is skipping this one. He's the only player in the 191 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: top seventy to skip it out. That's okay. He gets 192 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: a free pass to the BMW Championship next week. Xanders 193 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: Schoffley is plus sixteen hundred, Justin Thomas plus twenty two hundred, 194 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: Tommy Fleetwood plus twenty five hundred, Ludwig Oberg plus twenty 195 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: eight hundred at plus three thousand, our Matt Fitzpatrick, Victor Hovland, 196 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: Russell Henley Patrick Cantley and Colin Morrikawa, Cameron Young, Sandburns 197 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: and Corey Conners are plus thirty five hundred and at 198 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: plus four thousand wee have Ben Griffin, Keegan Bradley, Hedeki Matziama, 199 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: Sepstraca and Harris English. Who is worth considering from this group? Bo? 200 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: And what are we doing with Scotty at such short odds? 201 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 2: Well, it's been a few weeks, but we're going to 202 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: do the Live Scotty. The Live Scotty is going to 203 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: be really fun to play this week because if he 204 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: gets off to a slower start, which he hasn't played 205 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: this course particularly well, because faster Bermuda greens, when you 206 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: hit that filter on the model Scotty Scheffler goes down 207 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 2: to the very bottom of this field. In putting, it's 208 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: quite remarkable. He's having the best putting season of his 209 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: entire career and it still shows struggling on Bermuda greens 210 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 2: that are running fast on faster than twelve on the stemp. 211 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 2: These greens will be running twelve on the stemp. They're Bermuda, 212 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: they're tricky, they're undulating, they're fast, They're so fast, and 213 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: I think that Scotty still has everything else to win here, 214 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: but maybe he gets off to a slow start and 215 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: maybe we get some odds that slip to better than 216 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: five to one or even ten to one. That's when 217 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be betting on Scotty Scheffler. Don't give up 218 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: on him. Just don't bet him at plus two to eighty. 219 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: You're not going to get enough bang for your buck 220 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 2: to make it worthwhile watching him annihilate this field. I'm 221 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: going to start my card at Justin Thomas JT at 222 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: twenty two to one. It's a little short for my 223 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: liking because of his struggles off the tee lately. But 224 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 2: if you look at good drives gained, he's still in 225 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: the top ten in this field. If you're looking at 226 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: fairways gained, he's he's forty six. So there's a big 227 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: difference between how you measure what good tea shots look like. 228 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: Last week you wanted fairways gained because hardly anybody was 229 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: hitting driver off the tee at the window. On this course, 230 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: you're gonna see a lot of drivers. You're gonna see 231 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: three woods. You're not gonna see a lot of chopped 232 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: off shots. You're gonna be wanting to hit driver in 233 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: the fairway, and Justin Thomas has been pretty good overall 234 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: at putting himself in position for birdie looks on approach 235 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: and what that's where his bacon has made every year 236 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: of his career is Justin Thomas on approach is nails, 237 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: and he's one of the best scramblers on the tour. 238 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: Justin Thomas twenty two to one is where I'm going 239 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: to start, and it's also going to include Patrick can't 240 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 2: Let at thirty five to one, which I didn't think 241 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: I was going to be interested in can't lay this week, 242 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 2: but he's never won in my model, and thirty five 243 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: one's pretty durn good. So I think I'll take the 244 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: bait at Patrick Cantley and hope that he does something 245 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: anything this week unlike the rest of this season. And 246 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: then Sam Burns at forty to one. Sam Burns forty 247 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: to one, best putter in this field, annihilates Bermuda Greens. 248 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: He's so good at making birdies on these courses, the 249 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 2: exact parameters of this golf course in this event, it 250 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 2: just screams Sam Burns to me. So he's going to 251 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 2: get a pretty aggressive investment at forty to one. 252 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sam Burns was fifth here at TPC south Wind 253 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: last year, second in twenty twenty one, but he's finished 254 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: forty seventh or worse in each of his last three events. 255 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: I do wonder if he's hit a wall bow, so 256 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: I think I'll let you find out on that one. 257 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna be with you on 258 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: Sam Burns with can't lay. I'm curious is his push? 259 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: I mean he is on the bubble for a Ryder 260 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: Cup spot. Is that part of it? Like, he has 261 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: to play well in the playoffs I think to get 262 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: in or he might get passed by the Ben Griffins 263 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: and Chris godder Ups and Cameron Yong's. 264 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: He's a guy that's also played well on firm, fast 265 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: golf courses that are in this kind of Bermuda setup. 266 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: He's struggled on bent grass, he struggled on your poana surfaces. 267 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: He struggled on on fescue, of course, but he's top 268 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: five and pretty much every stat category with how I 269 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: filtered it, top five in every single category. So yes, 270 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 2: he has all the motivation in the world to do 271 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: well in the playoffs and get onto that Ryder Cup team, 272 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: or at least solidify his spot on that team. But 273 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 2: I think he's got a chance to win here. He's 274 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 2: he's starting to turn his game around the last couple months. 275 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 2: Nothing noteworthy in results category, but I think that it's 276 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: just too good of a guy to ignore. Thirty five 277 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: to one. 278 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned JT. When I've mentioned recent winners at 279 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: the FedEx Saint Jude, I cut it off right before 280 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: we got to Justin Thomas back in twenty twenty when 281 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: he won. He hasn't recorded a top ten in his 282 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: last three trips just TP Southwind And yeah, as you said, 283 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: I mean he's one hundred and sixty first in driving 284 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: accuracy and by the way, just ahead of him one 285 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: hundred and sixtieth in driving accuracy Xander Schoffley. Yeah, so 286 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: he he did finish top ten at the Scottish Open 287 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: and the Open Championship last month, and was second at 288 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: the FedEx Saint Jude Championship last year. But yeah, the 289 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixtieth in driving accuracy not great, nor 290 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: is the one hundred and thirty second ranking in strokes 291 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: gained putting For Xander. What do you make of oberg 292 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: Bo He's had kind of an up and down season, 293 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: but he did play pretty well in the Scottish Open 294 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: and Open Championship. He was fortieth last year in the 295 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: FedEx Saint Jude that was his debut in this event. 296 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: Is he of value at twenty eight to one or no. 297 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: I think he's the opposite of a value. I think 298 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: he's completely inflated with how I modeled him. He's forty 299 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 2: eighth out of seventy in my model, and he's not 300 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: in the top ten in any category. 301 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: Zero. 302 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: This is a player who's the struggled immensely with mid 303 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: iron approach, which is completely opposite of what he did 304 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: in his big season last year. Off the t he's 305 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: been a little erratic and his short game has not improved. 306 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: He's fifty ninth in this field for scrambling. I am 307 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: completely off overg I wouldn't even bet him if he 308 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 2: was at fifty to one. That I think this is. 309 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 2: This is going to be a struggle tournament for Ludwig Oelberg, 310 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: despite the talent. I think his game is in a 311 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: really bad place right now for the playoffs to start. 312 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: I could be wrong, but I'm not anywhere near him. 313 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned those approach shots. So I said the 314 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: average approach shot on this course was one hundred and 315 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: sixty yards, and there are a lot of approach shots 316 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: on this course to come from that one hundred and 317 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: fifty to one hundred and seventy five yard range. Yes, 318 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: Victor Hovlin finished second last year in this event, and 319 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: he certainly has the sort of ball striking profile we're 320 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: looking for. Oh. By the way, he is second in 321 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: strokes game on approach shots from one hundred and fifty 322 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: to one hundred and seventy five yards and second second 323 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: on strokes gain on approach overall. So Hoveland intrigues me here. 324 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: You know, the short game is always an adventure with 325 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: Victor Hoveland, But I'm pretty sure a striking is there too. 326 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 2: That the way he's played here over the years. 327 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: He has played it well. Russell Henley bow hasn't played 328 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: much lately, but he has four straight top tens dating 329 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: all the way back to the Memorial in late May. 330 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: He's only played four tournaments dating back to the Memorial. 331 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: Henley finished sixth in this event two years ago, and 332 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: as we've mentioned on the show many times, Henley tends 333 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: to do his best work on courses with Bermuda Greens. 334 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: Any interest in Matt Fitzpatrick top ten and four straight events, 335 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: top ten in this event three the last six years. 336 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: No thanks. He's done it two links courses followed by 337 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 2: two courses with very lackluster fields, straight fields. He's in 338 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: the big boy waters now this week, and his short 339 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 2: game is just not good enough here. He's a good shipper, 340 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 2: but his putting's not that great. He's off the tee. 341 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: He's been all over the place. I like him, but 342 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 2: in this field he's just kind of middle of the pack, 343 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 2: hanging around and maybe a top twenty bet. I don't 344 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 2: think he cracks the top ten here this week, but 345 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 2: you mentioned a couple guys that I'm interested in. Victor Hovland. 346 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 2: Of course, everybody's gonna be on Hovland this week for 347 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 2: good reason. He's won here twice and he's been top 348 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 2: five every other time except for one miscut kind of 349 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: wedged in there. That's a horse for the course. We 350 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 2: do have some predictability with this tournament being at this 351 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 2: golf course every year for the playoffs, and Victor Hovelin 352 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 2: in the playoffs tends to be a different animal together, 353 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: so I will be watching that line I'm not in 354 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 2: on him yet, but the approach numbers are undeniable, and 355 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: he's just gonna put himself in so many scoring opportunities. 356 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 2: The question will be will he convert them? And can 357 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: he avoid the big number when he inevitably gets in 358 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 2: trouble off the tee. 359 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: And two players. I would warn people about investing in 360 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: Hideki Matsuyama, who did win here last year and was 361 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: runner up in twenty twenty one. His strokes gain stats 362 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: at TPC south Wind are pretty strong, but he's had 363 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: kind of a lackluster season by his standards. Maybe he's 364 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: pulling it together. He's finished thirteenth, sixteenth, and nineteenth in 365 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: his last three events. I just don't think he's ready 366 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: to win against a strong field and Kegan Bradley for 367 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: his final season as he's having. He did miss the 368 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: cut at the Windham, and he has been bad at 369 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: TPC South Wind, finishing forty third or worse in his 370 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 1: last five trips, and his strokes gain stats on this 371 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: course are like worst in the field, among the worst 372 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: in the field. Let's look at more of the odds 373 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 1: at plus forty five hundred are Chris got her up? 374 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: Jordan speedth JJ Spahn, Robert McIntyre, Harry Hall and Daniel 375 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: Berger at plus five thousand, we Wyndham Clark, Shane Lowry 376 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: and Maverick McNeely. Aaron Ry and Jake Knapp are plus 377 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, Jason Day plus six thousand, Aksha Batiya Kurk, 378 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: Kitty I'm and Danny McCarthy a plus sixty five hundred. 379 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: Taylor Pendrith and Max Grazerman are plus seven thousand, and 380 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: plus eight thousand are Brian Harmon, Lucas Glover, Justin Rose, JT. 381 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: Post and Ricky Fowler and Nick Taylor. Do you like 382 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: any of these mid range options? 383 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 2: Bo? I mean, as crazy as it sounds, I like 384 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 2: Wyndham Clark this week. Wyndham Clark has been a ball 385 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 2: striking dynamo this this last couple of weeks. I think 386 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 2: you're starting to figure it out again. And this is 387 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: the best putter on Bermuda in this field. This is 388 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: a that's a red hot golfer who has had his 389 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: trials this season. Let's just say his anger has gotten 390 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 2: the best of him multiple times. But since then he's 391 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: turned his game around and now he's number four in 392 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 2: my model, and the only place that I'm showing him 393 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 2: not looking that great is on the shorter approach. Bucket 394 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,239 Speaker 2: won twenty five to one fifty, but on the one 395 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: fifty to one seventy five and the one seventy five 396 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: plus he's great. And he's obviously the best putter on Bermuda, 397 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 2: so he also top ten and par four scoring. He's 398 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 2: been really good at getting good drives off the tee lately. 399 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 2: That's last twenty four rounds number three in this field, 400 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: and birdies are better gained. Wyndham Clark at fifty five 401 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 2: to one is an extreme value. I thought he would 402 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 2: be somewhere around forty. Fifty Five to one on him 403 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 2: is great. And then Nick Taylor. It seems to be 404 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 2: when the courses get fast and they're not too long 405 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: in accuracy seems to be the premium. This is a 406 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: Nick Taylor type of golf course. This is a lot 407 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: like what's that a Winsor course that they've played a 408 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: couple of years ago when he made that bomb. This 409 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: is a very similar golf course, except this is a 410 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 2: little faster. Even I think that Nick Taylor eighty to 411 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 2: one is a really nice value too. That's those are 412 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 2: the two guys I have highlighted in this middle price. 413 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Gotterrup comes in red hot after a fabulous July, 414 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: and you won the Scottish Open, finished third at the 415 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: Open Championship, finished tenth at the three m. This will 416 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: be his FedEx Saint Jude Championship debut. The downside is 417 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: that he can be wayward off the tee and he 418 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: is barely inside the top one hundred in strokes gain 419 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: an approach this year. I'm kind of mildly interested in 420 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: Robert McIntyre, just really solid off the tee and with 421 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: his irons. He's finished top fifteen in his last two 422 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: trips here. But if you want a horse for the course, 423 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: let me throw two names out there. Bo Daniel Berger 424 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: fabulous track record at TPC south Wind. He had back 425 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: to back wins here in twenty sixteen twenty seventeen. He 426 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: was second here in twenty twenty fifth here in twenty 427 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: twenty one, which was his last FedEx Saint Jude appearance. 428 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: Burger's strokes gained TETA green and strokes ganin and approach 429 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: numbers at TPC south Wind are fantastic best in the 430 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: field and Lucas Glover is actually a horse for the course. 431 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: He won here in twenty twenty three, third in twenty 432 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: twenty two, and he's played pretty well the last couple 433 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: of months. Ninth at the Travelers, fifth of the John Deere, 434 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: twenty third at the Open Championship. Glover's very accurate off 435 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: the tee and strong with his irons. All right, bo, 436 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: there are twenty eight players in this sixty nine man 437 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: field with odds of ninety to one or longer. Are 438 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: any of them worth a flyer? 439 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 2: I'll take a little shot on seaw Kim. Very accurate 440 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: player off the t He's not going to hurt himself. 441 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 2: His putting has been atrocious, but he seems to do 442 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 2: a little bit better on Bermuda. It seems like if 443 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 2: you get Seawoo Kim into a groove with the putter, 444 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 2: if he sees a couple go down on Thursday, we're 445 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: in business. But if he doesn't, then that's it. It's 446 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: baked into ninety to one. Chris Kirk is a horse 447 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: for this course, one hundred to one. He's just metrically 448 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: looking great. Chris Kirk is a stat darling, and at 449 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 2: one hundred and one, I'm kind of looking for that. 450 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 2: I'm looking for those stat darlings that number two in 451 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 2: this field and opportunities gain number two in that shorter 452 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: approach bucket, he's number fifteen at worst any of those 453 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: approach buckets. He's doing really good on approach this season. 454 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 2: Very bad putter. That's the one thing about Chris Kirk 455 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 2: that worries me here. But he's going to give himself 456 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: chances to make Berdie's another guy who is priced accordingly 457 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 2: to just struggling with the flat stick. This year's it 458 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 2: seems to be like they can get there off the tee. 459 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 2: Sewou and Kirk get there off the tee. They're good 460 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 2: on approach, and then nothing's going down this season. But 461 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 2: those could both change. These these are smaller greens, so 462 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 2: if they're on with their irons, they're not going to 463 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 2: look at too many long putts for Bertie. If the 464 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 2: opportunities are there, they have a chance to make them. 465 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, bow and a course with 466 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: smaller greens, maybe I'm a little bit more willing to 467 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,959 Speaker 1: bet on suspect putters. 468 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, like Lucas Glover's. 469 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's sort of it, because you know 470 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: you're just you're going to be looking at shorter pots. 471 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 3: Absolutely so. 472 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: And Chris Kirk does come in with some momentum too. 473 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: He's fourteenth was fourteenth if the three of them open 474 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, fifth at the Windham last week. He's 475 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: finished top twenty two of his last four trips to 476 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: TPC South wind Okay, bo, who do you have on 477 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: your early betting card? 478 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 3: So? 479 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 2: I have Justin Thomas at twenty two to one, Patrick 480 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 2: Cantley at thirty five to one, Sam Burns at forty 481 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 2: to one, win them, Clark at fifty five, Nick Taylor 482 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 2: at eighty, Sebu Kim at ninety and Chris Kirk at 483 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 2: one hundred. 484 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: All right, I am betting Victor Hovland at thirty to 485 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: one and Russell Henley at thirty to one. I'm betting 486 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 1: Daniel Berger at forty five to one, also betting him 487 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: for a top five at plus six point fifty Lucas Glover. 488 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet these horses for courses. Bo Uh, Lucas 489 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: Glover eighty to one, and I like the top five 490 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: kicker on him at eleven to one, and I'm betting 491 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: Chris Kirk at one hundred to one. Now for a 492 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: one in done picks. There was no blood last week. 493 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: See the first time all year bowhead Keegan Bradley, Captain America, 494 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: missed the cut. I had Akshay Battia who was going 495 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: to miss the cut, but withdrew with a few holes 496 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: left to play on Friday. Just two weeks for me 497 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: to close a million dollar gap on you bo. But 498 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: this is a big money event. I'm up first. I'm 499 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: taking Victor Hoveland. 500 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 2: All right for you, Takor Hoveland. So I had a 501 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 2: problem where I took all the top guys out of 502 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: the field here and I've already used pretty much everybody here, 503 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: but I am going to take this is controversial because 504 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: it's not that far up.
