00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Betting Pros PGA Podcast. I'm Pat Fitzmorris

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: along with Bau mcbrair. We've got a betting preview of

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: the three m Open on tap for today. It's the

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: second last event on the PGA Tour calendar before the

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: FedEx Cup playoffs. But first let's quickly touch on the

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: final major of the year, the Open Championship. Scotti Scheffler

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: is your champion Golfer of the year. He wins the

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: opening a runaway at royal Port Rush. Scotty opened with

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: a sixty eight on Thursday and was one shot behind

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: the pack. He grabbed the thirty six hole lead with

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: a sterling round of sixty four on Friday. He stretched

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: that lead to four with the sixty seven on Saturday.

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: Then he birdied three of his first five holes on

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: Sunday to effectively grab the claret jug with both hands.

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: Scotty's only hiccup on Sunday was a double bogie in

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: the eighth hole when he had some trouble with a

17
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: fairway bunker, but by then his cushion was so big

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: that not even a crooked number could introduce some drama

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: to the proceedings. Harris English finishes second, four shots back

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Chris Goderup, who had won the Scottish Open a week earlier.

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: He finished solo third at royal Port Rush, Hot tong Lee,

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: Matt Fitzpatrick and Wyndham Clark tie for fourth, and twenty

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: twenty four Open champion Xander Schoffley and favorite son of

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: Northern Ireland Rory McElroy finishing a tie for seventh after

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: acquitting themselvesselves pretty well all week. Bow Your takeaways from

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Scotti Scheffler's first Open championship victory, Well.

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: We can't call it flawless, but it was as close

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: to flawless as you're going to get for an Open championship.

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: The scoring was pretty favorable. That Royal Port Rush is

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: just a really tough golf course, so even with premium

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: scoring conditions, it wasn't that easy unless your name was

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler. Uh, he's just so good. He's he's a machine,

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: and that's from tee to green. You expect him to

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: be the best in the field. But last the week

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: before last at Scottish he was one hundred and eighteenth

36
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: in strokes gain putting. He finished number one in total

37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: putts and number two in strokes game put in the

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: whole field at the at the Open Championship, if Scotty's

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: in the top five of putting, nobody has any chance.

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: Period.

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: That's just it. Like, even if Scotty's in the top forty,

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna win if he's putting well enough to

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: be in the top forty, if he's putting number one

44
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: or number two in the field, it's a it's a

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: shock that he only won by four. Honestly, that's that's

46
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: how good he is. From Teita Green and we thought

47
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: for sure that he couldn't read the greens as well

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: as other stateside greens. But he figured something out. And

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: if if happy he learned how to putt, it's no

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: stopping him. Scotty Scheffler might not celebrate his win too long,

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: but he's he's gonna celebrate, And I mean, it's just

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 2: it was fun to watch. He's a lot of people

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: call him boring. I think it's the opposite. We're watching greatness,

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: and anytime we're witnessing greatness, I have to pinch myself

55
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: because I get so excited to watch just how pristy

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: his game is. From every club in the bag, his

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: mental game is insanely strong. This guy is just he's

58
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: an all time great already and it's a privilege to

59
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: watch that unfold at the Open Championship.

60
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: Yes, Scotty, he wasn't great on the tee all week.

61
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: He caught some good breaks. There were a couple of

62
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: times where balls could have gone into the thick stuff

63
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: and bounced and stayed up in the light stuff. But man,

64
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: the distance control on his irons and wedges, the scrambling,

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the gamer on the green and like you said, bo,

66
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean he I know he was vexed by the

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: faescue greens at the Scottish Open. Not so much a

68
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: royal port rush. He was dialed in. It was a

69
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: sight to behold. Do we think it might have been

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: closer if we had gotten some more Scottish weather because

71
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: it looked like San Diego out there on the weekend.

72
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's kind of what surprised me is that

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler dominates when the weather is good, and I

74
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: think is his game strategy hasn't really played out for

75
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: Scottish weather or Northern Irish weather. The Open Championship is

76
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: usually marked by great scoring conditions when the weather's perfect

77
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: and then unplayable conditions darn near when the weather's it's

78
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: just when the wind is up. And Royal Port Rush

79
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: is a brutally difficult golf course when the wind is up.

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: We just didn't get any wind, and so Scotti Scheffler's

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: high ball flight. He's good at flighting it down, but

82
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: his real strength is when he's just better than everybody

83
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: else at gauging distance and hitting the center of the

84
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: club face with his irons, and there's really no extra

85
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: calculus to it when there's no wind to factor in.

86
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: Where you might see a Tommy Fleetwood or Rory McIlroy

87
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: or Harry Hall kind of kick it into gear. Those

88
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: are the Shane Lowry's of the world. Those guys need

89
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: inclement weather to kind of equalize the field. Against Scotti Scheffler,

90
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: we didn't get that, and honestly, it was his off

91
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: the tea game that made it a mercy kept it

92
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: from being a mercy. Rule Like the two thousand Open

93
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: Championship when Tiger blitz the field with nineteen under, it

94
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: reminded me of that. It was not quite as dominant,

95
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: but it was more of like, okay, if the wind

96
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: doesn't pick up. Nobody's got a chance to even catch him.

97
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: And even how tong Lee was just like, I'm playing

98
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: for second place here, I'm being realistic and that's refreshing

99
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: to hear that you really did. He didn't know that

100
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 2: he wasn't going to have a chance, but he also

101
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: figured chances are Scotty's not going to beat himself.

102
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely not. And what a change in weather at

103
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: Royal Port Rush from twenty nineteen one of the saggiest

104
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: Open championships in history probably to you know, sun and

105
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: looked like they were in Fiji or something for much

106
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: of that tournament. But before we move on, Scotty's performance

107
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: sort of rekindled the Scotty versus Tiger debate. We touched

108
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: on that earlier this year. Briefly, where do you think

109
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: Scotty stands visa v. Tiger in terms of all time

110
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: golf greatness?

111
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: I don't think he could attain what Tiger attained. Tiger

112
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: completely reinvented the game of golf. Tiger saved the game

113
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: of golf in the mid nineties. It went from a

114
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: very much a fourth or fifth level sport on TV

115
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: to must see TV in the majors and anytime he

116
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: teed it up. So the level of greatness is probably comparable,

117
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: especially since Scotty's doing this against stronger competition on tougher

118
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: golf courses than Tiger did. At the same time, what

119
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: Tiger did for the sport as greatness, I count that in.

120
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: And I don't think Scotty has the personality or the

121
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: want to to be a Tiger Woods, and that's fine.

122
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: I just I want to say the game is on

123
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: par with Tiger, but what he's doing to invigorate the

124
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: entire sport, it's just not there because it's it's not

125
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: that he wants to be there, and there's so many

126
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: other talented players that can carry that torch for Scotty,

127
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: and Scotty can just go out and keep winning tournaments

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: and be ho hum family guy. That's his place in

129
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: the sport. And I don't fault him for it. I

130
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: just don't think that we need to be putting those

131
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: two side by side, because if you're saying vis a

132
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: vis Tiger is not reachable, He's He's a seven hundred

133
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: yard par five into the wind. He's not reachable for anybody,

134
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: that's just not going to happen. And I don't think

135
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: Scotty is interested in reaching Tiger status, and Tiger's still Tiger. Like,

136
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: if Tiger showed up to a healthy to a tournament tomorrow,

137
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: we'd be talking all about him and not about Scotty.

138
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: What does that tell you at fifteen?

139
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does remind me sort of the Jordan Lebron debates.

140
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: And you know, a lot of the people who bring

141
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: it up and people who sort of think that Scotty

142
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: is on par with Tiger were maybe, yeah, people from

143
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: the younger generation who weren't around for the best of Tiger.

144
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, like to me, Jordan was the competitive fires

145
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: burn brighter in him than an any other NBA player ever.

146
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: And I think he could say the same of Tiger Woods.

147
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: And there were times when we saw it wasn't necessarily

148
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: the best players of Tiger's arab besides Tiger who gave

149
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: him the best battles. I mean, he got his best

150
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: fights from some unexpected people Rock Omediate, Bob May, Chris DeMarco.

151
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: But like, those guys were playing the best they had

152
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: ever played in their lives, and like it took a

153
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: heroic effort from Tiger to beat those guys, and he

154
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: still managed to beat all those guys when they brought

155
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: their finest.

156
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: I don't think this is quite the lightning rod of

157
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: topic like Lebron and MJ. Because where I see Lebron

158
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: is certainly an all time great. I see him as

159
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 2: the catalyst for that debate because he came into the

160
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: league as a high school graduate straight in wearing number

161
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: twenty three. Wanted to be like MJ. He wanted to

162
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: be Air Jordan. He wanted to be the next Air Jordan,

163
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: and he shot for the moon and for a lot

164
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: of people he reached that status. He read he reinvented

165
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: the game of basketball like MJ did in his era.

166
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: So I think that those two are a lot closer

167
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: than Scotty trying to reach a level of notoriety and

168
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: all that that Tiger reached through complete dominance. Like Scotty's

169
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: winning tournaments and he's winning majors. But it's only been

170
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: three four years and Tiger did this for a decade

171
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: and a half straight. Yeah, So yeah, if Scotty wants

172
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 2: to be the legend of Tiger, he's going to keep

173
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: up this pace for another decade straight. Good luck. I

174
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: hope you do it. I don't know if he actually

175
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: wants to, though, you might be riding off into the

176
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: sunset long before that.

177
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Great point, all right, closing the book on the Open Championship.

178
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: And by the way, Ryan Girard won last week's Barracuda

179
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: Championship here in the state. It's a nice win for

180
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: the twenty five year old Girard. Now we're on to

181
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: the three M Open. We'll get to it and the

192
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: So after two weeks of links golf in Northern Europe,

193
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: we are back in the US for more familiar Parkland golf.

194
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: The top players are sitting this one out in Minnesota,

195
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: but it's a reasonably deep field for the threem Open,

196
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: and we're going to see a lot of the mid

197
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: level PGA tour pros teeing it up this week to

198
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: better position themselves for the FedEx Cup playoffs. The three

199
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: im Open will be played at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota.

200
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: It's a par seventy one that will play at seven

201
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty one yards. The course was designed

202
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: by Arnold Palmer with input from Native Minnesota Tom Layman.

203
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: TPC Twin Cities certainly isn't a difficult course by tour standards,

204
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: but it's not without danger. There's water water everywhere, not

205
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: a drop to drink. Water comes into play on fifteen

206
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: holes at TPC Twin Cities. A lot of those water

207
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: hazards will threaten players t shots and a lot of

208
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: those water hazards run down the right side of holes.

209
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: Slicers beware lefty hook or lefty hookers. That's right, don't

210
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: want to leave out my left time.

211
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: I'm not a hooker, pat Okay.

212
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: The fairways are pretty generous at TPC Twin Cities and

213
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: it has some big greens. We're going to see a

214
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: higher than usual percentage of greens and regulations, so chipping

215
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: in bunker play scrambling won't be as important this week.

216
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: The greens are bent grass. It's fairly long course three

217
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: to the part. Three of the four par threes are

218
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: longer than two hundred yards, and all three of the

219
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: par fives are between five hundred and ninety and six

220
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: hundred yards. That includes the five hundred and ninety sixth

221
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: eighteenth five hundred and ninety six yard eighteenth hole. It's

222
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: a risk reward par five that plays shorter than its

223
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: length if players are willing to try a risky second

224
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: shot over a pond. Now the defending three M Open

225
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: champ as Jonathan Vegas. Johnny Vegas finished seventeen under par

226
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: last year to beat Max Grazerman by one shot. Lee

227
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: Hodges was a runaway winner in twenty twenty three with

228
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: a score of twenty four under par. Tony Final was

229
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: seventeen under to win in twenty twenty two, and Cameron

230
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: Champ won in twenty twenty one. He was fifteen under.

231
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: The weather forecast for the tournament, high temperatures in the

232
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: low eighties all four days chances for rain each day,

233
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: but no apparent danger of a washout. Light wins in

234
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: the five to ten miles per hour range throughout the tournaments.

235
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: But now that we have a pretty good sample size

236
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: on TPC twin Cities, what are some of the things

237
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: you're keying in on this week when handicapping the field.

238
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: It really comes down to ball striking. The opposite of

239
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: the Open Championship is where you're looking at scrambling and

240
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: around the green stats pretty heavily. I'm not looking at

241
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: those at all this week. It's about off the tee prowess.

242
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: Strokes gained off the tee. Driving distances a bonus in

243
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: this tournament because of its length and the risk reward

244
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: propositions on the par fives as well as some of

245
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: the longer part fours. A birdier better percentage, of course,

246
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: on easier golf course like this, you gotta have guys

247
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: that a have opportunities gained at a high rate as

248
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: well as be the birdier better percentage to convert those opportunities.

249
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: So a lot of overlay there, and then this, because

250
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: of all the water hazards, you got to throw in

251
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: some bogie avoidance trying to avoid the big number below

252
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: up is it's kind of it's kind of killed a

253
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: couple of potential winners like Grazerman, who I bet on

254
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 2: last year, who probably would have won if he didn't

255
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: find some hazards, some penalty areas during his course of

256
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: the of the tournament. It's it all comes down to

257
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: making lots of birdies and avoiding that really big crooked number,

258
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 2: and then ball striking, ball striking, ball striking approach, game driving.

259
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: It's going to be really important to get from tee

260
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: to green and then a hot putter. I'm looking at

261
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: the last twenty four rounds of putting on bent grass

262
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: and that should round it out. It's a pretty straightforward

263
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: model this week. Not a lot of filtering. I just

264
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: want to make sure that we get the hottest golfers

265
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: playing the best golf right now, and the guys who

266
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: can convert enough berties to win this thing.

267
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting because a lot of the players with

268
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: shorter odds are big hitters who are not great in

269
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: the driving accuracy category. We'll take a look at those

270
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: odds in just a moment. Right after Bow tells you

271
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: about no vague.

272
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: Are you looking for a smarter way to play. There's

273
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: a new sports trading platform that's changing the game. It's

274
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: called no Vig. It's legal in most states, including Georgia, California,

275
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: and Texas. It's peer to peer, which means you're competing

276
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: against other users, not the house. You can often get

277
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: better lines than traditional book. You can set your own lines,

278
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: which gives you control. Most sportsbooks just don't offer. There

279
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: are no commissions or hidden fees. Seriously. It uses a

280
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: coin deposit system, but it is real money and you

281
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: can use code daily Juice for fifty percent off your

00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,640

Speaker 2: and picks in our company discord. If you have questions,

287
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: Mic Mayor is happy to help Pat. He's almost insufferable

288
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,119
Speaker 2: in that discord chat.

289
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: And in otherwise too almost talk about.

290
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: Almost it's not just the Novig stuff. But he does win,

291
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: so I guess it balances out. That's right.

292
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: Let's dig into the odds for the three m open.

293
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: All odds are courtesy of DraftKings. As a Monday afternoon,

294
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: Sam Burns opens as the favoritest at plus sixteen hundred.

295
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: Chris got her up was red hot and Sktlin in

296
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: Northern Ireland. In the past two weeks, he's plus eighteen hundred,

297
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: as is Maverick McNeely, Max Grazerman and Taylor Penrith are

298
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: plus twenty eight hundred. Plus thirty five hundred are Michael Thorbiornson,

299
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: Jay Knapp, Tony Finow, Davis Thompson or Ricky Foller. And

300
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: the big group at plus four thousand includes Akshay Batilla,

301
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: Max Homa, Kurt Kitty Yama, Keith Mitchell, Milliano, Grio, Sung

302
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: JM and Seewu Kim. Who do you like from this group?

303
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: Oh? Right off the top? I did see Sam Burns

304
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: recently slip to eighteen to one to be the same

305
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: line as Chris Gottrup. I like Chris Gottrup's form, especially

306
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: his tee degreen game has never been in question. His

307
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: short game has really showed a resurgence, especially last two weeks.

308
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: He's won two point seven million dollars last two weeks.

309
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: Pretty solid for a trip around the links a few times.

310
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: I like him in eighteen to one as the outright

311
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: betting favorite. His te degreen game is really going to

312
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: play here, his distance will definitely play here, and he's

313
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: riding a hot putter. So let's let's get on the

314
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 2: Chris Gottrup train and ride it until the wheels fall off.

315
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: He's only what twenty four years old, He's got a

316
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: lot of future ahead of him. As far as other

317
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: guys in this range, I'll hone in on another guy

318
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: who's a long hitter who makes a lot of birdies,

319
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: especially in this kype of tournament. I like Michael thorpe

320
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 2: Jornsen but and Akhabatiya Kurk Kitdem. But these guys are

321
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: all in my model pretty highly ranked. But I'm gonna

322
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: go to Jake Napp. Jake Nap is the kind of

323
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: guy that thirty five to one the handicapped system for me.

324
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: I had him more of his a twenty five to

325
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 2: one pick in this field, and to get an extra

326
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: ten points out of the bet really sings to me.

327
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: All the other guys that I like are a little

328
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: too short for my liking based on how I handicapped it.

329
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: So I will stick with Jake Nap at thirty five

330
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 2: to one to round out the favorites.

331
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: Oh, you know, I'm a Jake Nap guy. BO. He's

332
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: finished inside the top thirty in each of his last

333
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: four events, including a Big Cista, Big Siesta, including a

334
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 1: fourth place finish at the Rocket Classic. Napp did withdraw

335
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: from last year's three M Classic, ostensibly due to a

336
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: shoulder injury or because he was having a miserable third round.

337
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: Nap is a big hitter and ranks twelfth in strokes

338
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: game putting, but he does rank one hundred and sixty

339
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: first in driving accuracy.

340
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: BO.

341
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: That's kind of the same deal with Chris got Her

342
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: Up too. You know, got Her Up is second on

343
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: tour in driving distance, one hundred and fifty seventh in

344
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: driving accuracy. Got Her Up is like, I wonder if

345
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: there's any sort of could he be a little emotionally

346
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: spent after two weeks of you know, winning one and

347
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: contending in another, and you know, then coming back overseas.

348
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: I just I feel like Jake Knapp gives you a

349
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: very similar profile of player at a much better price.

350
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's it's definitely there. I like both of them.

351
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 2: I'm going to bet on both of them. I'm not

352
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 2: going to be over my skis investing a lot of

353
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: money in any of these guys, but I have enough

354
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: guys that I really like that I'm going to kind

355
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: of buckshot approach it this week with small investments and

356
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: a lot of guys. So with the way I'm spending

357
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 2: my money this week, I'll take a chance on both

358
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 2: of them. But I do get your point with the

359
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: line on Nap is unbelievably good and got her up

360
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: as a favorite to eighteen to one. I'm just taking

361
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: a chance that he stays hot. He despite being not

362
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: that accurate off the tea, he still strokes gained off

363
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: the ta number eight in this field, that's actually number

364
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: six in this field, and strokes gained off the tea.

365
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: That's good enough for me. A twenty fifth and overall

366
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: ball striking and riding the hottest putter of his entire career.

367
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: That's where I'm going there. It's just the upside's good

368
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: and payoff for a betting favorite. It doesn't get much

369
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: better than eighteen to one.

370
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, the sand Burns couldn't crack the top forty in

371
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: either the Scottish Open or the Open Championship, but before

372
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: that he had finished top twenty and seven of his

373
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: previous eight events dating back to April. Burns has made

374
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: three previous appearances at the three M Open, finishing seventh,

375
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: thirty second and twelfth, and he does rank number one

376
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: in strokes gained putting. Now, Maverick McNeely played reasonably well

377
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: in Europe the last two weeks, twenty second in Scotland,

378
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: twenty third at Royal Port Rush. He finished third at

379
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: the three M last year. McNeely ranks inside the top

380
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: forty most strokes gained off the tee and strokes game putting.

381
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: What about Wyndham clarkbow heated up in Europe, eleventh at

382
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: the Scottish Open, then surged into fourth place at the

383
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: Open Championship with that sixty five on Sunday, But he

384
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: ranks one hundred and thirty eighth in driving accuracy, one

385
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty seventh in strokes gained on approach.

386
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 2: Not interested at all in Wyndham Clark. He's just too

387
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: spray happy. He got the benefit of some light wins

388
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: on a wide open golf course like Royal Port Rush

389
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 2: wasn't difficult to find the fairways. It was just kind

390
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 2: of like the you just only missed him if you

391
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 2: ran through him, like you carried the ball too far.

392
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: Wyndham Clark really fits that link style play better because

393
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: he plays along the ground a little bit more. I

394
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 2: just don't think he's accurate enough on approach for this tournament.

395
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 2: I think you'd be fine off the tee, but his

396
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: approach game has not been good. So I'll take a

397
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: hard pass on Wyndham Clark, especially since he's just kind

398
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: of been streaky and in the worst way where just

399
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: when we think he's gonna get hot, he throws out

400
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 2: a miscut by five shots and you'res like, Okay, happened.

401
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: What happened to Wyndham Clark? All of a sudden He

402
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: went from number six in the world to twenty in

403
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: like two week span. So I don't think I want

404
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: anything to do with that.

405
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: Just to mention a few of these other guys. Max

406
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: Grazerman runner up at the Three of Them Open last year.

407
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: He missed the cut at the Scottish Open and the

408
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: Open Championship, but had been playing pretty well before that.

409
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: He's one hundred and forty ninth in driving accuracy, but

410
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: his driving didn't really hurt him here. Last year, Taylor

411
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: Pendrith missed the cut at the Open Championship. He'd been

412
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: playing well before that too. He was fifth at the

413
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: three M last year, ranks seventh and strokes gained off

414
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: the tee, but he's outside the top one hundred and

415
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: strokes gained putting. Emiliano Grio is a pretty good track

416
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: record in this event, with three top tens in his

417
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: last five appearance appearances plus a twenty fourth last year,

418
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: and really Grio's worst The worst thing about his game

419
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: is is scrambling, and that weakness is sort of negated

420
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: here with the big greens and high greens of regulation percentage.

421
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: And Ricky Folerball quietly finished top twenty five of his

422
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: last eight events. His best finish other than that's over

423
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: that stretch, though, was only a seventh at the Memorial.

424
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: I will keep tabs on Taylor Pendrith. I hate his

425
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: line right now plus twenty one hundred way too short.

426
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: But if he slips, he's number three in my model.

427
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 2: So if Pendrith gets to thirty five to one, I'll

428
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: be interested.

429
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: All right, Let's look at some more of the odds.

430
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: Adam Scotts plus forty five hundred, Luke Clanton, Kevin You

431
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: and Cameron Champ are plus five thousand, Alex Smalley, Matt Wallace,

432
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: Lee Hodges, Yesters Fencing, Vince Whaley and Rico Hoye are

433
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: plus fifty five hundred, and at plus six thousand our

434
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 1: Patrick Fishburn, Nicholas Norgard, Johnny Vegas, Jacob Bridgeman, Hatong Lee,

435
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: Sam Stevens and See Thagala, And at plus sixty five

436
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: hundred Alex Nora and Maddy Schmidt and Peterson Coody. What

437
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: about the mid range options.

438
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: Bo Luke Clanton all the way number one in my

439
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 2: model by a long distance. Really yeah, Luke Clinton, by

440
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: far number one in my model. He is no worse

441
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: than forty ninth in any stat which happens to be

442
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 2: bogey avoidance. He happens to be a very aggressive player,

443
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: so not the greatest at avoiding the big number, but

444
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 2: forty ninth is still top half of the pack. He's

445
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: number one, and Birdie's are better. Gain number five an

446
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: opportunities gained, so he's given himself lots of chances and

447
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: he's converting them at an extremely high clip. Number two

448
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: in ball striking twenty fourth and putting on my model

449
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: and number four on approach. He hits all the boxes

450
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: for me. There's there's just one concern that he might

451
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: make some crooked numbers, but he's been really good at

452
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 2: make enough birdies to counteract that. If he could put

453
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: four days together rather than three, I think Luke Clinton

454
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: runs away with this. Saying fifty to one is a steal.

455
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: I kind of had to flip a coin between him

456
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: at fifty and Thorby Jornsen at forty and the tiebreaker

457
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 2: with Thorby. Jornsen can't make a putt lately, so I

458
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: was all over that Clinton line, getting extra bit of

459
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: value there. And then Patrick Fishburne another guy. It's just

460
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: a great ball striker. He's number one in strokes gained

461
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: off the tee in this field, fourth and overall ball

462
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: striking fifteenth and birdie or better percentage. Just great odds

463
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: for a player that's playing really well. And then eighty

464
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 2: to one. I have Kevin Roy because he's got all

465
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 2: the upside in the world. He's playing a little bit

466
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: shaky on the link style, but when it comes to

467
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: playing on bent grass, Kevin Roy's got some upside to burn.

468
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting, you might be talking me in to Clinton

469
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: hasn't really gotten it going yet, but like you said,

470
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: there have been moments and he just can't seem to

471
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: string four rounce together in a tournament. So maybe this

472
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: is the week. Adam Scott at plus forty five hundred

473
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 1: seems like a bargain. We're getting a big name at

474
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: relatively long odds. But if this event is going to

475
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: be largely a putting contest, and maybe it does turn

476
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: into that, do we want to back Adam Scott in

477
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: a putting contest?

478
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: I don't.

479
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

480
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: Cam Champ is a pretty strong history at the three M.

481
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: He won this event in twenty twenty one. In the

482
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: two three am appearances since, he's finished sixteenth and twelve

483
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: Before missing the cut at the Barracuda last week, Champ

484
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: had finished top twenty and three of his previous four events,

485
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: so he's going to keep an eye on Nora cal

486
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: hatong Lee is kind of interesting after the strong showing

487
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: at the Open, but it seemed like he was barely

488
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: in control of his driver and Hatungley hits everything left

489
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: to right bo like that is kind of a scary

490
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: proposition on a course that has so much water on

491
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: the right side of holes.

492
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a great story though.

493
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: It is. And Johnny Vegas not only did he win

494
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: here last year, he also finished second here in twenty

495
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: twenty one. Maybe driving accuracy isn't that big a deal here.

496
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: Johnny Vegas was one hundred and twenty eighth in that

497
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: category last year. He's one hundred and fifty sixth this year.

498
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk long shots, bo, who do you

499
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: like at odds of seventy to one or longer?

500
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: I jumped the gun a little bit with eighty to

501
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: one on Kevin Roy. But I do like Hayden Springer

502
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: again this week. He finished top ten at the Barracuda.

503
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: But Springer just a really solid golfer one hundred and

504
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 2: ten to one, just an overall solid player, doesn't really

505
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 2: have any weak spots. Chan Kim is playing really well

506
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: right now. He's at one hundred and seventy to one,

507
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: and I'll take another norcou guy at two hundred to one.

508
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 2: I actually got to chat with him at the barracudah

509
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 2: on Saturday. Isaiah Selinda talk about a birdie making machine

510
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 2: that kid can make him in bunches. He hits the

511
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: snot out of the ball. Yeah, Selinda is a kind

512
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: of a fun five dollars bet to throw down two

513
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: hundred to one win a thousand bucks off a five

514
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: dollars bet. He's already won us money at the Zurich

515
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 2: this year, next to Kevin Vello. I just like him

516
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: a lot. He's He's such a fun guy to have

517
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: on tour, and I'll keep betting on him because that's

518
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 2: just that's good. It's incentive to watch more.

519
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: All right, I'll throw out three long shots at various

520
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: price points at seventy to one. Andrew Putnam, He's done

521
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: well in some recent events with lesser fields. Eighth at

522
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: the Rocket Classic, eleventh at the Barracuda. He was also

523
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: sixth that the Canadian opened, so he can go against

524
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: some stronger fields. He's finished eleventh and nineteenth in his

525
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: last two to three m appearances. One of the shortest

526
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: hitters on tour, but Putnam does rank fourth and driving

527
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: accuracy in fifteenth at Strokes Gained Potting Thriston Lawrence bo

528
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the South African, pretty good driver of the ball, and.

529
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: He's almost made my card. He almost.

530
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's had some good showings in America this year,

531
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: twelfth at the US Open, eighth at the Rocket Classic,

532
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: and I'll throw in one deep sleeper Englishman David Skins

533
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: at two hundred to one. Skins was fourth at the

534
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: ESCO Championship two weeks ago, eighth at the Barracouda this

535
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: past week, and he finished twenty fourth at the three

536
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: M Open last year. All right, bo let's compare early

537
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: betting cards. Who do you have on yours?

538
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 2: So I got a lot of small ones here at

539
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: Chris gottr Up at eighteen to one, Jake Napp thirty

540
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 2: five to one, Michael Thorbjorn sent at forty to one.

541
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 2: If I can get him a little longer, I'm still

542
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: I haven't put a lot on him yet. Luke Clinton's

543
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: getting the full ladder at fifty to one, Patrick Fishburn

544

545
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten to one, Chan Kim one hundred

546
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: and seventy to one, and finally Isaiah Selinda two hundred

547
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: to one.

548
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm keeping my card relatively light for now. You've almost

549
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: got me talked into Luke Clinton, But for now it's

550
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: Jake Napp at thirty five to one, emiliano'grio at forty

551
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: to one horse for a course, I kind of like

552
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: Grio This week, Thriston Lawrence at one hundred and twenty

553
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: to one, and David Skins for probably two dollars at

554
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: two hundred to one. Now for our one and done picks,

555
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: I took Tyrrel Hatton last week. He felled on the

556
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: leaderboard on Sunday, finished tied for sixteenth, earning me one

557
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: thy eight hundred excuse me, one hundred and eighty five thousand,

558
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty seven dollars. Bo took Rory McElroy.

559
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: He tied for seventh, good for four hundred and fifty one,

560
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: eight hundred and thirty three dollars. Bow UPS's lead on

561
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: me to about eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and

562
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: we only have a few weeks left. Since we're not

563
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: including the Tour Championship in our competition, I'm up first

564
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: this week. Bo. I have some concerns that he might

565
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: be out of gas after the two great weeks in Europe,

566
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: but I do have to go with the blazing hot

567
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: Chris Godder up. Who are you taking?

568
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: That's who I was gonna pick. Let's see. I want

569
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: to make sure I haven't used him. I used him.

570
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: I used him. Man, this isrough. He I burned through

571
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: all my good guys. This is not great.

572
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: I still have Jake Nap in the bag. If you

573
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: want a double down.

574
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it. Jake Nap all right, nagaham or

575
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: fishburn and I don't think I want to do that.

576
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: Jake Nap for bo and Chris Godder up for me.
