Speaker 2: Later, Aaron Rye wins the Wyndham Championship. The Englishman has

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: been having a very nice season. He's had five top

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: finishes this year, and he got his first ever PGA

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: Tour victory by shooting a final round sixty four at

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: the Windham. Rye finished eighteen under par, two shots better

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: than runner up Max Grazerman. Rye rolled in a six

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: and a half foot birdie putt on the final hole

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: to cap off a birdie free final round. This was

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 2: a victory a lot of people were happy to see.

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: Bow Ray is one of the good guys on the

36
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: PGA Tour, very well liked among his fellow tour pros,

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: very gracious with fans in the media, and at least

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: one person on this podcast might have bet him at

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: forty to one odds. Thank you, yes, thank you for

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: covering some bar tabs from last weekend Erin, I do

41
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: appreciate that second place finisher Max Grazerman. He's the player

42
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: to Watch, He's finished top twenty five and three straight events.

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: JJ Spahn and Rio Hisatsuni finished tied for third three

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: shots back at minus fifteen. The remnants of Hurricane Debbie

45
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: made for a sagi start to the Windham Championship. Play

46
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: Yeah Play on Thursday completely canceled, and the organizers did

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: a really good job of somehow managing to squeeze in

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: this tournament into a three day window. Well, technically, the

49
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: tournament didn't actually end in three days, which brings us

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: to the Saga of one mister Matt Kucher. With darkness

51
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: starting to fall on Greensboro early Sunday evening, Coucher and

52
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: his playing partner step to the eighteenth tee hit their drives.

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: Playing partners, including Grazerman, elected to finish the whole. Coucher,

54
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 2: who at one point led by three shots but fell

55
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: out of contention on Sunday, elected to mark his ball

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: in the rough and finish the final hole on Monday morning,

57
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: thus forcing tour officials, volunteers, maintenance workers, his own caddy

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: to show up in at the course early Monday morning

59
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: to prepare for the final few shots. And by the way,

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: Coocher was generously granted a.

61
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Line of sight relief on his final well.

62
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: On the first shot after returning from the evening's layoff,

63
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: got to move his ball from the rough into the fairway,

64
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: made his power finished tied for twelfth. Coucher was rightfully

65
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: barbecued on Twitter for this deva like behavior. Cutre and

66
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: memorably incurred the wrath of PGA Tour officionados a few

67
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: years ago when he short changed a fill in caddy

68
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: after winning the Maya Coo A Classic in fairness. Couture

69
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: did eventually give that caddy the fifty thousand dollars he

70
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: had initially asked for after only giving him five thousand

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: at first, but not before being roasted on social media.

72
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: So that's a familiar feeling for mister Coucher.

73
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: Jim Lands like, he's pretty reactive to that sort of thing. Yeah,

74
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: he does what he wants at first, but when he

75
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: gets backlash is when he starts to try to make

76
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: it right.

77
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, and I don't know if you You probably

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: weren't home in time to catch this bo But Jim

79
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: Nance had a line that had me giggling on Sunday

80
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: after explaining that Coocher was electing to finish on Monday.

81
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: Nance said, I don't expect we'll be bringing you that

82
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: coverage tomorrow.

83
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: So it took six minutes for him to hold out

84
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 3: from that spot, and he actually lipped out that birdie chip,

85
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: so he was sort of the green in two after

86
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: that relief, which is fine because you're expecting he's he's

87
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: looking at about one hundred thousand dollars step between making

88
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: par bogie or birdie. If he made birdie there, he

89
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: was going to make another one hundred and twenty thousand dollars,

90
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: so that was a big deal for him. I don't

91
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: really give it any any extra thought because if he

92
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: does make Bertie there somehow, it does make him more money.

93
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: I would always say that you should go that way

94
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: if you don't feel one hundred percent right about any

95
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: shot because of darkness. He doesn't have to play that hole.

96
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 3: It's just because of his track record that we're calling

97
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: in to question this decision. So he doesn't get as

98
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: much grace from the golf community as somebody else might,

99
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: even though he is a nice guy from most accounts.

100
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: This is getting him rightfully barbecue, like he said, and

101
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: that's it is what it is. He very nearly chipped

102
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: in for that birdie to crack the top ten and

103
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: make six figures this week, so or making more six figures,

104
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: I'm ready for I'm ready for the playoffs. This is

105
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: gonna be fun. And as far as my liver, my

106
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: liver's fine. But you might notice though we're speaking a

107
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: little bit raspier.

108
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: Yes there was there was a losses or Dulcet. Yes

109
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: there was.

110
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: There was a lot of deep conversation over a few

111
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: drinks in Canton, Ohio. So I'm pretty talked out, but

112
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: I think I can make it for another half hour.

113
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, anything else, Anything on Aaron Raye's victory or

114
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: should we just get on with the FedEx the FedEx

115
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: Saint Jude Championship.

116
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: Unlike you, I did not bet Aaron Raye, and I

117
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: was one of the only people in the community who

118
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: wasn't touting him. And here I am on the outside

119
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: looking in like a SpongeBob looking through the myster looking

120
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: at SpongeBob and Patrick skipping along with their winning pick

121
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: of Aaron Ry and me watching from above, just wondering

122
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 3: what I might have missed.

123
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: All right, hopefully you're only squidward for one week. Baul.

Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars in bonus cash. So the FedEx

138
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: Saint Jude Championship is the first leg of the three

139
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: leg FedEx Cup Playoffs. There's seventy players in the field

140
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: for this no cut event. The top fifty will move

141
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: on to the second leg of the playoffs next week

142
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: at the BMW Championship in Colorado.

143
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: The FedEx Saint.

144
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: Jude will be played at TPC South Wind, a par seventy.

145
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: Measuring two hundred and forty three yards, it's about an

146
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: average length course by PGA Tour standards. There are seven

147
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: par fours that measure more than four hundred and fifty yards,

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: but only one that stretches past five hundred, and they

149
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: are really no drivable par fours on this course. Only

150
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: one of the par threes is longer than two hundred yards.

151
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: They're only two par fives, both reachable. TPC south Wind

152
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: does have smaller greens than average on the PGA Tour.

153
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: They're Bermuda greens. Accuracy off the tee is pretty important

154
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: because tpc's south Wind has quite a bit of water

155
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: and some gnarly Bermuda rough and the fairways are slightly

156
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: more narrow than the average tour course. Lucas Glover is

157
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: the defending champ. He finished fifteen under par last year

158
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: and bested Patrick Cantlay in a sudden de f playoff.

159
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: Wills Zalatoris also won in a playoff two years ago,

160
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: had to outlast sept Straca, and he too was fifteen

161
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: under par. In twenty twenty one, it was the WGC

162
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: Invitational that was played at TPC south Wind and Abraham

163
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: answer one. Also with the scar of minus fifteen, so

164
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: we're getting a pretty good idea of what it takes

165
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: to win. Sensing a pattern here, Yes, yes, he beat

166
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: Sam Burns and Hitdeki Matsi. I'm in a playoff, so

167
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 2: you know, wouldn't be surprised to see a playoff this

168
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: time around. Justin Thomas won in twenty twenty he was

169
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: minus thirteen and Brooks kept go one in twenty nineteen,

170
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: finishing at minus sixteen.

171
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: Those were also.

172
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: WGC Championship or excuse me, WGC Invitationals played a TPC

173
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 2: south wind. So the weather forecast from Memphis later this

174
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: week steamy, which is nothing really unusual for this tournament

175
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: going down to Memphis in August. It's going to be

176
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: hot and humid. Temperature is expected to be in the

177
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: nineties throughout the week. Win shouldn't be much of a factor,

178
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: just five to ten miles an hour most days, I

179
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: think maybe ten to fifteen on Friday, and they're only

180
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: slight chances of rain in the forecast Friday and Sunday.

181
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: But what sort of skills do you think are going

182
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: to be most important this week at TPC south Wind.

183
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: Well, as you get into this part of the schedule.

184
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: They're not going to make it major tough. They're also

185
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: not going to make it standard tour issue easy. The

186
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: last few weeks we've had some cupcake golf courses, some

187
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: weaker fields. We're back to full field. We're back to

188
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: seventy of the guys who actually earned their way into

189
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 3: this position to play in this playoff event with a

190
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: lot of money at the end of the rainbow here,

191
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: a lot lot like each event has its own person.

192
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: Then you get the big one at the end, at

193
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: the end of the road there in Atlanta to the

194
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: Tour Championship, big, big money, and so all these guys

195
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: are really really equipped for this golf course. Actually, I

196
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: don't have any guys that I wouldn't play here in

197
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: any circumstance because it's a very fair and balanced golf course.

198
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 3: Accuracy is key, of course. Off the tee, you don't

199
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: want to be in this really snarly bermuda rouf bermuda

200
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: ruff is just it's it's tricky because it doesn't prop

201
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: the ball up, so you don't get any flyer lies

202
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: out of that stuff. It just sinks down to the

203
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: bottom and then you have to somehow put the club

204
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: face on the b of the ball through it. It's

205
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: really tough. So accuracy off the tee and then your

206
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 3: standard approach distances all the way from one hundred and

207
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: twenty five yards up to two hundred yards pretty versatile. Again,

208
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 3: balanced golf course where you're gonna get different approach distances

209
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 3: across the bag. It's gonna be a true test. But

210
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: I do put a lot of stock on the first

211
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 3: and second shots because if you're not in play or

212
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: in scoring position after your first two shots, you're gonna

213
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: have to scramble and avoid not just bogie but double

214
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: bogie because this course, if you are wayward, will eat

215
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: you alive.

216
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think scrambling might be an important thing here.

217
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: And as you said, you know, accuracy is gonna be

218
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: an anreemium.

219
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: And that ties in with putting on Bermuda. Bermuda, but

220
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: we haven't seen a Bermuda Greens golf course really like

221
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: this since mid season. So a lot of these guys

222
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 3: are some of them are licking their chops because they're

223
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: tired of bent grass and poa, but some of them

224
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 3: are kind of really excited to put on Bermuda. But

225
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: the Bermuda greens here at TPC south wind Or lightning fast.

226
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 3: So I'm filtering for putting on Bermuda in fast conditions

227
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: because that's going to come down to who's putting well

228
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: right now. Lucas Glover last year, he's a notorious for

229
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: being a terrible putter by tour standards, and he came

230
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: in as hot as anybody could ever come into this tournament.

231
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: Didn't matter. He was making everything no matter what. But

232
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: in general, I want a guy across the bag is

233
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 3: going to be solid and not beat himself.

234
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: And we've got a lot of players in this star

235
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: studded field who fit that description. We'll get to the

236
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: odds in just a moment, but first, if you want

00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: Saint Jude Championship. All odds are courtesy of DraftKings as

250
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: of Monday afternoon, and these are from early Monday afternoon,

251
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: so some of these might have changed. Olympic gold medalist

252
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: Scottie Scheffler opens as the favorite at plus three sixty,

253
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: followed by Xander Schaffley at plus seven hundred and Rory

254
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: mceilroy at plus eight hundred. Colin Morikawa checks in at

255
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: plus fourteen hundred, Patrick Cantley and Livig oberg R plus

256
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: two thousand, Tommy Fleetwood plus twenty two hundred, Padeki Matsuyamas

257
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: plus twenty eight hundred, Victor Hovlin, Tony Finow and Tom

258
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: Kim are plus three thousand, Justin Thomas Corey Connors, Russell

259
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: Henley and Aaron Raye are plus thirty five hundred, and

260
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: Billy Horschell, Sung j M and Heath the Gala are

261
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: plus four thousand. Who do you like from this group?

262
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: Boh, this guy named Scotty Scheffler's pretty good. I think

263
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: this is the kind of field where I go back

264
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 3: to that live betting model where you're you're looking at

265
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: the odds to see if they slip. This is a

266
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: really strong field. So let's say Scotty doesn't get off

267
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: to the best start, as we saw from the Olympic

268
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: Games very recently, it doesn't matter how far he's behind.

269
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: He's always in play. There's no cut this week. So

270
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 3: you give Scotti Scheffler, the best player in the world,

271
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: seventy two holes to make an impression. He's going to

272
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: give himself more scoring opportunities than anybody else. That being said,

273
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: even though he's number one in my statistical model, it's

274
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: really hard to shake him out of that spot because

275
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: he's good across the board. The one thing that stands

276
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: out is putting on bermuda. It's me it's better on bermuda.

277
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: But Scotti is not a good putter. He's still struggling

278
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: with the flat stick, especially when the greens are fast.

279
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: That was one thing that really knocked him down. And

280
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: my model was if you filter for fast greens, and

281
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: putting on Bermuda, he kind of took a little tumble

282
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: all the way down to maybe number six. It wasn't

283
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: it wasn't a very fall to far decline, but it

284
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: is enough to make me think twice. At plus three

285
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: fifty and down the road. I think that the value

286
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: in this board is just outside of the very top

287
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: tier where it's ten to one. You're gonna if you

288
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: like Rory, bet Rory, if you like Xander, bet Zander,

289
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: if you like Scotty enough to bet him at plus

290
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: three fifty, go for it. You're just gonna have to

291
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: get really aggressive. For me, I'm starting out, it's like Obergat, Yeah,

292
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: go ahead, it's me. It's yeah, it's it's ludvig Olberg.

293
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: At plus two thousand, that's where I start. He fits

294
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 3: the bill in this golf course. We've seen him not

295
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: stand down to tough golf courses in tough fields, and

296
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: he's due, he's he's ready for that first PGA, to

297
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: our victory, and he's coming into this kind of scuffling

298
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: and I really think, I think that a course that

299
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: fits him this well, fits his game this well, could

300
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: really jumpstart his next step into greatness. So Ludvig Godbergs

301
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: where starting at plus two thousand, Yeah.

302
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: It sounds like we might be shopping in the same

303
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: category of players this week. I agree that maybe live

304
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: betting is the way to go with Scotty, you know,

305
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: despite winning four of his last six events, not a

306
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: great track record at TPC south Wind. He's had no

307
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: top ten finishes and two missed cuts in his previous

308
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: six appearances here, thirty first last year, although he does

309
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: rank fifth in scrambling, so if he does well, how

310
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: many greens is Scotty going to miss?

311
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 4: Though?

312
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: The guy's just such a ball striking machine. Exander Schoffley

313
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: also as kind of a mediocre track record here. He

314
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: two has played this event six times, best finished with

315
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: sixth in twenty twenty, but only one other top twenty five,

316
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: and that was last year when he was twenty fourth.

317
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: Although Xander leads the tour in scrambling right now, he

318
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: gets up and down seventy point four percent of the time.

319
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: You were going to add something, bo.

320
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: I was just going to say that right along the

321
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: lines of Vig Oberg get plus two thousand. I love

322
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: that number. But his Nordic counterpart, I know Sweden and

323
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: Norway don't get along too well all the time, but

324
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 3: Victor Hovlin at plus thirty five hundred is definitely on

325
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: my board. He's a very similar player to Lidwig Over,

326
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: really accurate t wall player and an outstanding iron player.

327
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 3: I think that Victor Hovelin's skill set fits this golf

328
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: course extremely well too, especially if he can keep his

329
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: Bermuda putting stats where they are now, which is pretty good.

330
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 2: What about Colin Morikawa who has rattled off twelve straight

331
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: top twenty five dating all the way back to the Masters,

332
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: and in three previous trips to Memphis he's finished twentieth, twenty, sixth, fifth,

333
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: and thirteenth.

334
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the only thing that I'm finding with

335
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 3: Colin is that as the putting conditions get more difficult,

336
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 3: the more he kind of folds when it comes to

337
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: scrambling and avoiding double bogies. He's also he's also coming

338
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: in and I mean dead last and scrambling and putting

339
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 3: in this field and then pretty far down the way

340
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: for strokes. Again, on par fives, there's only two on

341
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 3: this golf course, so you're going to have to get

342
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: those two gettable par fives or else you're gonna have

343
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: to be even better on the par fours, and the

344
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: par fours here are very tough, and I think that

345
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 3: even when you look at that, the main par four

346
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: distance here is between four hundred and fifty to five

347
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: hundred yards, and Mark how is fifty ninth in this

348
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: field in that category. So Colin, although his macro ball

349
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: striking stats are obviously amazing, he's one of the best

350
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 3: iron players in the world. That's why he's competed here before.

351
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I like him that much. At plus

352
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 3: twelve hundred, it just seems a little short for the

353
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: way he's playing, in the way he kind of fits

354
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 3: this course.

355
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: Now.

356
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: You know, I haven't always been the biggest Patrick Cantlay backer,

357
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: but there's one thing about Cantlay that kind of intrigues me,

358
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: and it's that he has been terrific in Fatex Cup playoff.

359
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: Events the last few years.

360
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: Won the Beat BMW Championship and Tour Championship in twenty

361
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 2: twenty one, and he won the BMW Championship in twenty

362
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: twenty two. Also finished second at TPC South Wind last year.

363
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 3: He's he's he's turned his game around in the last

364
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 3: month or two and he's the kind of player who

365
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: again doesn't beat himself. He's so consistent. He's really good

366
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 3: at avoiding big numbers. He's really good at playing tough

367
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 3: golf courses to make them look easy. He doesn't always

368
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: score well when it's kind of an easier golf course.

369
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: He kind of loses interest. He doesn't really He's a

370
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: grinder's all. That's all he knows. Patrick Cantley loves to grind,

371
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 3: and as the conditions get more and more difficult, that's

372
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: when you see his skill level kind of rise to

373
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 3: the occasion. I love Can'tley this week. I just don't

374
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 3: know if I want to bet him at the number

375
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: he's currently at. It's it's close, though, I think if

376
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: he slips the right direction in our favor, I think

377
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: I would pull the trigger on him.

378
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's take a look at some of the other

379
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: guys with you know, from this group, not among the

380
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: short odds guys. Maybe a little more appealing as far

381
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: as us Hideki Matsuyama coming off that bronze at the Olympics,

382
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 2: and he's finished top twenty in his last three trips

383
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 2: to Memphis, including a second in twenty twenty one. Hideaki

384
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: also ranks fourth on tour in scrambling. Justin Thomas won

385
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: here in twenty twenty and in his other three events

386
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: at TPZ South when he's finished twelfth, twenty sixth, and thirteenth,

387
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 2: seems to like this course. I think he also has

388
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: an affiliation with the Saint Jude charity. Andy's from nearby Liulville,

389
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: so this is his region. Ranks sixth in strokes gained

390
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: around the Green, So I'm a little intrigued by j

391
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: T actually, and I've not been very big on JT

392
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 2: this year.

393
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: I'll just mention three more real quickly.

394
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: Bo tom Cam a little streaky this season, but he's

395
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: had three top tens in his last nine events and

396
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: he's finished twenty fifth in his I should say in

397
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: both of his Saint Jude appearances. Russell Henley two top

398
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 2: tens in his last three events, finished sixth at TPC

399
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: South win last year, and he is definitely a Bermuda specialist.

400
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: And Corey Connors twenty seventh, are better in ten straight

401
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: events dating back to April and one of the better

402
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: ball strikers in the world. So anyone from that group

403
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: interest you.

404
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: Not necessarily, I'm not going to knock you for any

405
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 3: of those guys, because they are solid picks. I'm just

406
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: kind of looking a different direction in that tier. I'm

407
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 3: looking for recent form more than anything, and where Connor's

408
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 3: is great, his recent form, Connor's scrambling ability and his

409
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 3: ability to plot on Bermuda scares the daylights out of me. Yes,

410
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: he is all the things you said he is. He's

411
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: also one of the worst short games on tour and

412
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: it's gonna be trying. If if Corey Connors is Bud

413
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: Light Scottie Scheffler, then you have to consider that Corey

414
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: Connors needs to putt will to overcome his to keep

415
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 3: his ball striking relevant. Like we've seen it time and

416
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 3: time again with Corey Connors is great from Tita Green.

417
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: Once he gets there, all bets are off, So I'm

418
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 3: not really betting him. But Davis Thompson is playing super

419
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: hot golf right now and he fits this golf course. Well,

420
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: he's coming at sixty to one. There's your what if

421
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: Corey Connors had a short game and was also playing

422
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 3: really well right now and had more favorable odds than

423
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: Corey Connors and isn't Canadian. I guess no, no, Knock

424
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: are Canadian fans, but I like Davis Thompson.

425
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: Yes, since Corey Connors is Canadian, we should probably make

426
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: that Molson light or Labat's light. Yeah, all right, Let's

427
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 2: look at some of the mid range options. Cameron Young,

428
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 2: Shane Lowry and Sam Burns are plus forty five hundred,

429
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: Jordan Speith and Adam Scott plus five thousand, Matthew Fitzpatrick,

430
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: Brian Harmon and Wyndham Clark plus fifty five hundred, Max

431
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: Homa been On in Septstraka plus six thousand, Jason Day

432
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: and the aforementioned Davis Thompson. Well, you said, Davis Thompson

433
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 2: down to plus six thousand earlier today plus sixty five hundred,

434
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: Christian Bezueden Houts plus seven thousand, and Akshay Batya and

435
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 2: Siwou Kim plus seventy five hundred.

436
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: Anyone here appeal to.

437
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: You other than Thompson. I'm taking a look at Jason Day,

438
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 3: I'm taking a look at Okhbatiya, but Tiya his recent

439
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: form kind of concerns me. But this is kind of

440
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: golf course where if he can get off the tee

441
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: with some accuracy, he can do some damage. I don't

442
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: know that I trust him, but the number is really enticing.

443
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 3: He's when you get a guy's talented at as Akhbatia around

444
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: plus seven thousand or plus seventy five hundred. I'm really

445
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 3: inclined to just take a shot on him because he

446
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 3: absolutely can do it here. I just I really love

447
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: Thompson in this tier. It's it's the only thing that

448
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: keeps popping up. So that's that's my that's my horse

449
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: in this guy in this range.

450
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

451
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 2: Sam Burns has four wins on Bermuda courses, so I'm

452
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: kind of intrigued by that, and finished second here in

453
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, and he's finished top fifteen in four

454
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,239
Speaker 2: of his last six events, so he's kind of got

455
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 2: that combination of, you know, good recent form, course fit

456
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: and sort of a Bermuda specialist. I'm definitely interested in

457
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: Sam Burns. See what Kim also kind of a Bermuda guy.

458
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: He's got four career wins on Bermuda greens. Matt Fitzpatrick,

459
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: he's been in poor form, but he does seem to

460
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: like this course. He's finished top six in three of

461
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: his last five events he's played here. All right, what

462
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: about long shots? Bo Is there anyone you like it

463
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: eighty to one or longer?

464
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: I just have one and it's a Canadian Really yeah,

465
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 3: for some reason, it's it's when I measure tried to

466
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 3: I try to wait my model for consistency, especially on

467
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 3: a golf course that's going to give you a wide

468
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: range of results. Going to see some birdie making. You're

469
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 3: going to see some really big crooked numbers on this

470
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: golf course because if you get off the tee in

471
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 3: that rough, you're you're just paying. You're paying with double

472
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 3: bogies on this type of place. Consistent guys who don't

473
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: beat themselves. Nick Taylor two hundred to one the Canadian

474
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: This is this is very similar to just the the

475
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: winning winning the Canadian Open last year.

476
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: For example.

477
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: This is one of the comp courses there is up

478
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 3: there in Ontario where he won. So it's a it's

479
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: just a fit, it's an approach fit. He's super consistent

480
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: across the board. I don't see any metrics where I

481
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: can say no, Nick Taylor's not going to do well here.

482
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 3: It across the board, it's top twenty five, top forty,

483
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 3: where he's in the front half, the positive half of

484
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: this field. In just about every metric that I waited for,

485
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: and that's that's a good sign for a long shot.

486
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 3: So I can take some shots at two hundred and

487
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: one outright. I can take a lot of top five,

488
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 3: top ten, top twenty bets just to fit it in,

489
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 3: because I think that number is really soft for how

490
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: well he's played the last two years. Really he's he's

491
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 3: been remarkably consistent.

492
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 2: I have to say that not a lot of the

493
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: long shots caught my eye this week, bo just because

494
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: you have to beat such a tough field in this

495
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: so it's really hard to see someone coming out of

496
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: the fog at you know, one hundred to one or longer.

497
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: One guy I pondered a little bit was Harris English

498
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 2: because he's had a couple of top tens here, not great,

499
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: not a great season for Harris English.

500
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: It will this be his random breakout week because he

501
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: has he does have those kind of Yeah, every once

502
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: in a while he's ho hum most of the time.

503
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: Every six weeks, seven weeks he'll pop off and play

504
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: extremely well. Maybe it's this week. I don't. I don't

505
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 3: falter for that one at all, but yeah, Nick Taylor

506
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: for me was the only guy that I really even

507
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 3: looked at inside of top eighty to one. It's it's

508
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: just it's really top heavy here, and you don't expect

509
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 3: a guy to come from the back really at all.

510
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I've definitely got a range of guys I'm betting.

511
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: So let's talk about our cards. Bow, What do you

512
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: have on yours right now?

513
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 3: So I have lud big Oberg at twenty to one,

514
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 3: I have Victor Hovlin at thirty five to one, Davis

515
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 3: Thompson at sixty to one, and Nick Taylor at two

516
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 3: hundred to one.

517
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: Well, we don't have any love connections here, Bo, I've

518
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: got a quartet myself. I've got Hideki Matsuyama at plus

519
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 2: twenty eight hundred, Justin Thomas at plus thirty five hundred,

520
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: Russell Henley at plus thirty five hundred, and Sam Burns

521
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: at plus forty five hundred.

522
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: All right, so let's have a type this week. I

523
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: do have a type. Now, let's move on to the

524
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: one and done competition. Very little blood drawn.

525
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 2: Last week Bo had Seawoo Kim. He missed the cuts,

526
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 2: and by the way, Bo didn't have anyone miss the

527
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: cut all season other than in that Zurich Classic, the

528
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: weird two man events, and now you said three straight

529
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: miss cuts.

530
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: Bo, your has it hurt?

531
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: Me?

532
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: Has it hurt?

533
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: It is not hurt Bow.

534
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: I have barely put a dent in Bow's lead of

535
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: just under three point seven million dollars. I had sung

536
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: JM who finished tied for forty first in a low

537
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: money event and earned a robust thirty ninety five dollars.

538
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 3: That's not gonna pay the bills. But these last three

539
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: weeks of the season, whether or not we have anybody

540
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 3: kind of hanging at around by the time the Tour

541
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: Championship roles around who we're going to be doing. Picking

542
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 3: might be really difficult, but a lot of money can

543
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 3: change directions here with how much is on the line.

544
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 2: I might have a few aces up my sleeve, Bo,

545
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: but it's your pick first this week.

546
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: So who you got?

547
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: So I don't believe I picked this guy, and I

548
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: didn't talked about him tonight, but I'm gonna take Billy Horsell.

549
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: Billy Horsehall. Okay, that's interesting. I am going to go

550
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: with Justin Thomas. Just seems like a lot of things

551
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: are sort of pointing to our him for me.

552
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: This week. We'll see if that's thank you.

553
