I'm excited to 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: do this with you. 27 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 4: Excited to be the first person to be able to 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 4: do a podcast with you on this network. 29 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, so you're the one. 30 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 3: You were the guinea pig basically to see if this 31 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: goes very well Spencer. So hopefully it's going to go 32 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: well for us at the betting window this week at 33 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 3: the Tour Championship. And what we're basically going to do 34 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: is we're going to consult our models. Now, when I 35 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 3: say models, a lot of it is interpreting data. It's 36 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: not necessarily creating data out of Finnair. I'll let Spencer 37 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: kind of explain his process, but basically what I do 38 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: is I interpret the data. It's a lot of the 39 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: same statistics that you get, and we'll get into some 40 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 3: of them more specifically here in a moment the oh 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 3: the strokes gain off the tee, good drives gain whatever 42 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: metric you're looking at and then I just interpret it 43 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 3: and you know, compile it all together and see what 44 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: we come up with. 45 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: So I do a little bit of modeling. I'm a 46 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: little bit. 47 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: Market based also as a golf better and I'm a 48 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: little bit of a recent form course form, what have you. 49 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 3: There's a lot of different ways to skin the cat here. 50 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 3: I think to hit out right bets and hit golf 51 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: bets really in general. So we're gonna look and see 52 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 3: what our biggest betting opportunities this week are at the 53 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: Tour Championship. But before we dive into those, Spencer, I 54 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 3: want to lead with you on this. What do you 55 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 3: think makes this event at the Tour Championship so challenging 56 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: from a golf modeling or betting perspective, because I've had 57 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 3: so many people come to me like, man, I don't know, 58 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: I don't know what to do with this event, you know, 59 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: because because it is a little bit or it has been, 60 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 3: at least in the past, a wonky format. 61 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 4: I mean that's the number one thing in my chat 62 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 4: over at rotaball Or we have a discord over there 63 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 4: that every single question that I've been asked to start 64 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 4: this week is what do we do on this board, 65 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: What do we do with Scotti Scheffler at plus one five? 66 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: What's the best way to go about this? 67 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 4: And I will say, like, I don't think that this 68 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 4: is the fairest form of golf to decide who the 69 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 4: winner should be. I did not like how they did 70 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 4: it before with the staggered starting strokes. I'm a big 71 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 4: match play person. I think there's some way that you 72 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 4: could incorporate match play into this. I know for television 73 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 4: it doesn't necessarily get people going, but that would be 74 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 4: my ideal form of how to do this for the 75 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 4: Tour Championship. 76 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: But I think when we look at. 77 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: East like at the core of what this is, it 78 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 4: is challenging the handicap it because you just look last 79 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: year Andrew Green did some restoration work on Eastlake before 80 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 4: that event. I used to come on these podcasts and 81 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 4: podcasts like this, write articles talking yearly about how this 82 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 4: was an extremely challenging tournament to make up ground and 83 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 4: to score from differentiating spots from the rest of the field. Essentially, 84 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: a lot of your scorable opportunities came on those par 85 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 4: four the short ones, at least in the par five locations. 86 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: You look at the leaderboards of the past, we always 87 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 4: had these leaderboards that landed somewhere between thirteen under to 88 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 4: fifteen under of a winning total when you remove the 89 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 4: starting strokes, and a lot of those totals that got 90 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 4: put into play fifty percent plus on most of the 91 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 4: eventual winners took place at three or four of those locations, 92 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 4: and if you dive in a little bit deeper into that, 93 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 4: some of that stretched into like the sixty five to 94 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 4: seventy seventy five percent range when you're talking about birdie 95 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: opportunities from those distances. And I think that marginally changed 96 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 4: last year after Green's reconstruction of the venue. We saw 97 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 4: all eighteen tea boxes rebuilt. You got this overhaul of 98 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 4: the fairways, bunkers, greens. That was something that propelled Colin Moricala, 99 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,119 Speaker 4: as I will call it, the quote unquote low score. 100 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: Even though Scotty ended up winning the FedEx Cup that year, 101 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 4: he shot twenty two hunder parthough Colin Moricala over four days, 102 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 4: and obviously that's a natural expectation. You see a course 103 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 4: move from a parse seventy to a par seventy one, 104 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 4: it's gonna make it a little bit easier. But I 105 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 4: think there's two things I want to note to that 106 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 4: as we move it to this year's venue. So I 107 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 4: think the bigger story is that overall enhancement that we 108 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 4: got at those par four locations. I thought there were 109 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 4: nine holes last year between the par fives and those 110 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 4: shorter par fours that you had real scorable opportunities that 111 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: came into play. 112 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: The second thing that I don't see a lot of. 113 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 4: People talking about, which is where the industry as a 114 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 4: whole seems to be getting this wrong. This week, it's 115 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 4: back to a par seventy. During this iteration of it, 116 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: I have seen the answer that it's a par seventy 117 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: one over and over again. 118 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: It's not. 119 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 4: It was a one year trial run with it. We're 120 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 4: back to where we are. I do think that the 121 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 4: scores probably moved somewhere closer to that fifteen under range 122 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 4: versus the twenty two under. We're gonna have really soft 123 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 4: conditions this week. There's a ton of rain in the forecast. 124 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 4: I'm curious to hear at what you think about the course, 125 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 4: but I mean, at its core, I do think that 126 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 4: there are more scorable opportunities, which makes this a little 127 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 4: bit easier to make up ground on the field. 128 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you point an out, Spencer. Let me start 129 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: with the format first. This is no longer, by the way, 130 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 3: the starting strokes format in the FedEx Gup where you 131 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: saw Scotti Scheffler start at ten on par and then 132 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: it went to eight under seven under. So everybody is 133 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: clean sheet here, everybody is even par. So the winner 134 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 3: of this event is still going to win the FedEx Cup, 135 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: but it could be anyone of the thirty, which which 136 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 3: I kind of like. I like that everybody has a 137 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 3: chance here. I don't necessarily like that you're not rewarding 138 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: the guy that had the best regular season. If Scotty 139 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: has an off week, you know, tough, you know what, 140 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 3: basically for him. But it at least gets I think 141 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: all thirty players with a realistic chance, because it's an 142 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 3: accomplishment to make this. And Spencer, you pointed out on 143 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: the course the renovations that Andrew Green did, and this 144 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: started last year where they basically tore up the whole 145 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 3: layout at east Lake. It is back to a par 146 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 3: seventy because fourteen is going to be a par four 147 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: and it is going to be I be leaf five 148 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 3: thirty of us five eighty on the card last year 149 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: for a par five, and it was the easiest hole 150 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: on the golf course in terms of the conditions. You 151 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 3: have the Zouja fairways here this week, which you see 152 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 3: at TPC South Wind where we were in Memphis a 153 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, where those are a little bit 154 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: bouncier fairways. But you know, I would think that that's 155 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 3: gonna happen, but you're gonna see. I think some firm 156 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: greens grants are pretty fast here too, by the way, 157 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: even though you know they have been elevated those that 158 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: Rhees Jones. 159 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: Redesign of a few years ago. 160 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: They've elevated those greens to kind of make it more 161 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: like a traditional Donald Ross, who is the original designer 162 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: of this course. Fairways have been widened slightly, but they're 163 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: not exactly you know, wide open spaces necessarily, and you 164 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: got three and a half inches of bermuda rough. So 165 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: I'll be interested to see how the weather affects it 166 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 3: this week, but I tend to agree with you that 167 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: it's gonna be a little bit more difficult now, don't. 168 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 3: I don't expect that we're going back to like the 169 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 3: old days in the in the late late two thousands 170 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: where we were like seeing nine under par win this 171 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: thing or eight under par. I think you're gonna probably 172 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: at least see mid teens. But it'll be interesting, certainly 173 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 3: to see how the weather plays out with this one. 174 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 175 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 4: I think the other note just to throw out there 176 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 4: is lift clean in place. 177 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: We don't know right now now. 178 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: I would guess it's gonna probably be in place at 179 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 4: least over a couple of those days. If we do 180 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 4: get wet enough conditions, that's even gonna more so amplify 181 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 4: the ability to find the short grass off the tee 182 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: if you can get that ball in hand, And we 183 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 4: kind of seen that in the past, like even with 184 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 4: a player like Sung JM. I know Sunjay can't hit 185 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 4: an iron right now. And we'll talk about Sung Jay 186 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 4: a little bit later in this show because I might 187 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 4: have a hot take with him here, but I think 188 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 4: his off the tee acumen in short game actually does 189 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 4: play really well for a course like this. So there's 190 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 4: a lot of different ways that we can look about 191 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 4: this course in a lot of different ways that we 192 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 4: can try to handicap it. 193 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: And you know, everything. 194 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 4: Starts west at the top with Scotti Scheffler and the 195 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 4: discussion of what to do with him, and I'm sure 196 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 4: we'll get into some of that as this show moves along. 197 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll have more on that here at the end. 198 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: You know, somehow you can get exposure to Scottie without 199 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: necessarily playing the plus one fifty on the at right 200 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: if you if you don't choose to do so, it's 201 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: almost he was almost He's almost a shorter favorite now 202 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: than he was with the starting strokes last year. I 203 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: think he was one fifteen if memory serves me correctly, 204 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 3: and Xander, who is second, was like plus two fifty 205 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: or something like that. But Scottie Scheffler just shows what 206 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: a great year he's have. And one more thing on 207 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 3: the weather too, is gonna be hot. It's gonna be 208 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 3: hot Lanta on Thursday, but then the rain is gonna 209 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: cool it off a little bit over the weekend, so 210 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 3: we're not getting the usual hot temperatures. I don't think 211 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: here necessarily for this event that we would expect this 212 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 3: time of year. But no time to wave, Spencer. Let's 213 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 3: go ahead and start off, and how you started your 214 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 3: card this week? Go ahead and give us your first 215 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 3: bet peer for the Tour Championship. 216 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 4: So I'm gonna take a contrarian approach to kick off 217 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 4: this show. I'm gonna move away from this typical public 218 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 4: perception that you're gonna encounter that most people are calling 219 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 4: this a one man race. And I understand if you 220 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 4: just look at what the odds are, the field is 221 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: more likely to beat Scotty Scheffler. 222 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: All that's fine. 223 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 4: I think the misconception about what Scheffler is doing is 224 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 4: not that he's winning most of these events. That's not 225 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 4: even necessarily a bad thing for outright betting at its core. 226 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 4: The issue more so comes down to the these extremely 227 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: watered down betting boards that we're getting from books. You 228 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 4: get these massively skewed prices into what I deem to 229 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 4: be an unbettable territory for Scheffler. The problem with that, though, 230 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 4: is we're not necessarily getting tons of enhancements during most 231 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 4: of these events for the other players in the field. 232 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 4: It's why when you do run a model or you 233 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 4: just look at what the whole percentage is out there, 234 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 4: it delivers a lot less optimism when it comes to 235 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 4: long term value from that answer, So you know, I've 236 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 4: discussed the inverse of this a little bit this year. 237 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 4: I came on an action show. I talked when Rory 238 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: was hot early in the year and said market's pushing 239 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 4: too far for Rory. People think Rory's closer to Scotty 240 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 4: than he should be. The margin is wider than a 241 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 4: lot of people out there seem to believe. We can 242 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,599 Speaker 4: probably even go back to my defense on Scotty in 243 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 4: a lot of these spots to Wear came on an 244 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 4: action show, talked about him at the open thought that 245 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 4: that was a really nice spot for him against the 246 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 4: grain of public perception that he wasn't going to be 247 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 4: able to play links Golf oversees all those conditions there. 248 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 4: I say all of that less to just note that 249 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 4: I have been high on Scheffler in a lot of 250 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 4: these spots. But I think anytime that you're betting and 251 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 4: you're talking about just the overall sample size of betting, 252 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 4: you're always trying to analyze that long term data. You know, 253 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 4: you talked a little bit about how you do your 254 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 4: model at the beginning of the show. 255 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: I run things from a two year running perspective. 256 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: That gets marginally a little bit little shrinkings done to 257 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 4: that as the year goes along to start pushing it 258 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 4: towards the current year. But why I do that is 259 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 4: I'm trying to by avoid the over corrections to the 260 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 4: smaller sample size moves that we get. And that's a 261 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: thing that we can say for another show. I do 262 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 4: think that the data part of it is interesting, but 263 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 4: I do have concerns wes when it comes to east 264 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 4: Slake and reasons that why you could fade Scotty at 265 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 4: the price and maybe even get a little bit more 266 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 4: aggressive in your approach depending on how you do it. 267 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 4: And it comes down the two things with this for me. 268 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 4: So one, if we believe that Andrew Green has shifted 269 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 4: east Slake far away from a Donald Ross design into 270 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 4: his own rendition, it's not like what it used to 271 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 4: be in the past, the anti Scheffler case is going 272 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 4: to become a lot more challenging to make. That might 273 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 4: be something that'll take a few years to fully get 274 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 4: an answer on that, just because I'm not going to 275 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 4: take a one off sample size and say that this 276 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 4: is anything. 277 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: That we should be looking at. 278 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 4: But if we do believe that that Ross impact still 279 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 4: comes into play, there were some red flags that I 280 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 4: saw in my model on Scotty Scheffler, And that doesn't 281 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 4: mean implosions going to take place. That doesn't mean that 282 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 4: Scotty's not going to top five this tournament, but there 283 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 4: were more red flags twenty seventh in my model around 284 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 4: the green in this field, that similar green complex is 285 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 4: a slightly worse baseline when you take his Bermuda putting 286 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 4: here versus his baseline elsewhere. Twenty seventh in Donald Ross 287 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 4: production over the last twenty four rounds of playing similar courses. 288 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: As I said, this is not the anti Scotti Sheffler take, 289 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 4: but if I believe that is the case here, more 290 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 4: of where I'm pushing is that must mean that there 291 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 4: is value somewhere else on this board that I can find. 292 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 4: And I personally decided to do this with Rory McElroy 293 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 4: at eight and a half to one. I think fleet 294 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 4: would make some sense if you want to go a 295 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: little bit further down the board at fourteen, but that's 296 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 4: kind of where I'm starting. It is at that very 297 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 4: top part, and I like doing it with Rory in 298 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 4: a lot of different spots, like I could make an 299 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 4: argument and maybe we end up seeing this in a 300 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 4: week that Scotty just steamrolls the tournament, but there are 301 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 4: matchups out there also on Rory where Rory's plus two. 302 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: To eighty five against Scotty. 303 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 4: I just think that this is a little bit closer 304 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 4: to where Rory is like forty forty five percent somewhere 305 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 4: in that range to actually beat Scotty. And if you 306 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 4: look at where the market's at, the market would push 307 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 4: you in the spot where he's like twenty five thirty 308 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 4: percent to actually beat Scotty over the course of four days. 309 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: So, whether it's a matchup against Scotty, whether. 310 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 4: It's Rory at eight and a half to one, this 311 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 4: is one of those Taylor made courses for him, wet 312 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 4: condition courses is off the t game play strong. I 313 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 4: think he's a little bit closer to Scotty Scheffler in 314 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: this tournament than we've seen recently. So I'm gonna use 315 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 4: that as my edge to try to bet Rory McElroy. 316 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, Rory, three time winner here atie for the Tour Championship. 317 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 3: And Rory, even though he did skip Memphis a couple 318 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: weeks ago, he has kind of always prioritized these FedEx 319 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 3: Cup playoffs like some of the top end guys do not. 320 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 3: But Rory is like, yeah, man, this is really important. 321 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 3: This is a goal of mine every year to win 322 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: this thing. And so I see where you're working there 323 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 3: and Rory pretty good record as the history of soft 324 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 3: golf courses, and Spencer you lead me into my first 325 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: selection because you didn't mention him briefly there at the end. 326 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 3: I'm ready for the pain and I'm ready to get 327 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 3: hurt again like I did two weeks ago in Memphis. 328 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: I'm going back to Tommy Fleetwood at at fourteen to one. 329 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 3: Look to his credit, he rebounded from essentially giving that 330 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 3: Memphis tournament away and credit to JJ Spond and Justin Rose, 331 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 3: but that I think was Tommy lads time to win 332 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 3: his first PGA Tour event. Didn't get it done, but 333 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: he was t four last week at the BMW and 334 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 3: was one of three players the aforementioned Scottie Scheffler and 335 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 3: also Victor Hovelin that are in this field of thirty 336 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: that gained strokes across the board at Caves Valley in 337 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 3: Baltimore last weekend at the BMW. And then you look 338 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: tpc sout win. Pretty good correlation to east Lake here. 339 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 3: Fleetwood I thought, even though he didn't win, ended up 340 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: finishing T three and not even in the playoffs. I 341 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: thought he was the best player in the field for 342 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 3: most of that event, just wasn't able to get at home. 343 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 3: And Tommy was, I think at the media availability down 344 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: there at ed Eastlake Golf Club today, was like, you know, 345 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: wouldn't it be funny if I finally won the last 346 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 3: event of the year and the FedEx Cup to boot 347 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: I'm like, he has the chance to do the funniest 348 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 3: thing here, and I think he's gonna have a shot 349 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 3: to do that. So Tommy Fleetwood at fourteen to one 350 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: for me, and then I will start with the second 351 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 3: selection I made, and then have you go with your 352 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: second choice. Victor Hoblin thirty to one, who is a 353 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: former FedEx Cup winner here two years ago, was also 354 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 3: the low seventy two hole scorer when that format was 355 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 3: in effect, beaten out Schofle for that honor. 356 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: He was eighthier last. 357 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 3: Year, fourth in twenty twenty one, So I think he 358 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 3: takes a liking to this place and his second for 359 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 3: the season on strokes he can approach on the PGA 360 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 3: Tour behind of course, you guessed it's Scotti Scheffler third 361 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: at Caves Valley last week in the same category. So 362 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: Victor's been one of those guys though that he has 363 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 3: been very hit or missed this year. You know, when 364 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 3: you think he's gonna play well, he doesn't, and then 365 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 3: when you think he's not gonna play well. 366 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: All of a sudden he wins. 367 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 3: Like you did at the Dolls Bar earlier this year, 368 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: where he was he was like seventy to one on 369 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: the board. So I'm going with a little bit of 370 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 3: gut here. I was down to Victor Or Ludwig for 371 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 3: my second choice and I ended up going with Victor 372 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 3: Hoblin at thirty to one. 373 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 4: I think you look at what Victor's done at the 374 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 4: beginning part of this playoff. Also, you see the thirty 375 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 4: second at that FedEx Saint Jude Championship. It looks really 376 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 4: bad on paper, and everybody was on him. You talked 377 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 4: about it. It's one of those things that the industry 378 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 4: can't seem to get him correct. But if you removed 379 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 4: that first day of play from him, he actually played 380 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 4: really well over the following three days. He was one 381 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 4: of the names that I found a lot of exposure 382 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 4: to for in tournament bets. As the week went on 383 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 4: as I thought the market kind of started skewing too 384 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 4: far in the opposite direction with him, and like there 385 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 4: was even a Sunday bet out there where he was 386 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 4: like minus one ten, minus one fifteen against Nick Taylor. 387 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 4: And I know every single course is different and we 388 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 4: can make the argument, but like, that's kind of what 389 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 4: happens with names like Hovelin, And we've even seen it 390 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 4: historically with a name like Justin Thomas to where when 391 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 4: the market and the public perception gets off of them, 392 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 4: the odds drift further than they should in a lot 393 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 4: of those spots. So I like the Hovelin shout out. 394 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 4: I think he's one of those names. He's gonna be 395 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 4: popular this week. I've seen his name pop up a lot, 396 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 4: but I think it's rightfully So there, Wes. 397 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully, hopefully you can get home. 398 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 3: He has been very up and down, and he's always 399 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 3: mercurial anyway, always swing changes and swing coach changes. 400 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 2: It's like, dude, you're one of the best players in 401 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 2: the world. 402 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 3: You know, let's stick with something and get some consistency. Spencer, 403 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 3: what's your second choice here for this week's Tour Championship. 404 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 4: So I'm gonna change the market for us here. I'm 405 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 4: gonna get out of the outright betting for a second. 406 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with a matchup that I liked. I 407 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 4: took Harry Hall minus one twin over Brian Harmon. 408 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: The funny thing of this. 409 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 4: Bet is a lot of what I have said so 410 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 4: far is this anti Harry Hall taken many ways I've 411 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 4: talked about you need to find fairways to get that 412 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 4: ball in hand. If this is lift glean in place. 413 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 4: There are numerous comp venues that probably don't quite check 414 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 4: the boxes for a Hall either. But I wrote about 415 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 4: this yesterday and one of the things that I looked 416 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 4: at when I started running the data a little bit 417 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 4: deeper for Hall is he is very similar in a 418 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 4: lot of ways to that Ben Griffin style of production 419 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 4: with his game, where you get this middle of the 420 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 4: pack distance return, really horrible accuracy numbers, but a lot 421 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 4: of that ends up getting outweighed by these high end 422 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 4: marks elsewhere. And I don't think that's necessarily a bad 423 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 4: thing when the dispersion of scoring marks when you look 424 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 4: at the long term data here at east Lake does 425 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 4: deliver a much more flat slate across the board to 426 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 4: where around the green is going to matter, putting is 427 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 4: going to matter. Everything comes into play here. So the 428 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 4: way that I look at these turn and I'll even 429 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 4: talk about it when I get to my next matchup 430 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 4: a little bit later, I'm always looking for players to 431 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 4: fade and Harmon is one of those options that I 432 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 4: do like taking on this week. He's dead last grade 433 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 4: for me. When I looked at way to proximity plus 434 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 4: aggression and merge that in with expected total driving. 435 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: I do a lot of concocting of my stats West Like. 436 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 4: What I like to do is I like to make 437 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 4: it as tournament course specific centric as I can into 438 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 4: a lot of those spots. But the one difference that 439 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 4: comes into play for these no cut tournaments is I 440 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 4: do think you need to find upside with the player 441 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 4: that you are backing here. So Harry Hall is volatile, 442 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 4: it's a wild card for this course. I do like 443 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 4: the upside that he possesses here though at minus one 444 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 4: twenty five against the golfer and Harmon who's not necessarily 445 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 4: found the best success at Eastlake in the past. 446 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and boy, Harry Hall right in that mix, I 447 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 3: think for that last spot for Captain Donald in Team 448 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 3: Europe for the Ryder Cup. That great chip in I 449 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 3: thought maybe that put him on the team. But still 450 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 3: some time here is a Ryder Cup. Selection is going 451 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 3: to be coming up very shortly, including at the next week. 452 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 2: And you know we're dealing. 453 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 3: With the golf regular season and it is ending this 454 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 3: week on the PGA Tour. But as one season ends, 455 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 3: another begins. And if you've been paying attention, you know 456 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 3: that college football season kicks off this weekend, week zero 457 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 3: here at the Action Network, and you want to get 458 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 3: the most out of that award winning Action app. And 459 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: if you want to do so, you want to get 460 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: an Action Pro subscription because only Pro subscribers get real 461 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 3: time pick alerts from Stuckey, Colin Wilson, myself, Sean Kerner, 462 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 3: and Chris Raybon, especially if you're betting NFL prop Sean 463 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 3: Zarrillo still grinding it out in Major League Baseball as 464 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 3: we get down to the division races.

So okay, 477 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 3: let's get back to the action here the Tour Championship. 478 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: Spencer, you teased it. You have another matchup for us. 479 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 2: What do you got? 480 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 3: My friend, he's been the talk of the course today 481 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 3: with his amazingly bizarre behavior. 482 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 4: I don't know if we've ever had a show on 483 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 4: Action where there's going to be a play that's given 484 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 4: that's probably so universally hated by everybody that's listening at 485 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 4: this point right now. But I'll get into why I 486 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 4: like this and why I think there's a little value 487 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 4: here sung j M the golfer that nobody thinks should 488 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 4: be in this tournament, that nobody can understand how he 489 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 4: got here minus one ten over Nick Taylor. I do 490 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 4: think that when you look at tournaments like this, when 491 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 4: you get these condensed thirty man no cut get togethers. 492 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: This is kind of what ends up happening. 493 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 4: Books are going to be much more efficient with dealing 494 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 4: with fewer players. The selections for me are always going 495 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 4: to veer in the direction of I used to say 496 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 4: this when I wrote NFL content. It's those plays that 497 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 4: you end up making that are the best ones. Where 498 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 4: it's those like close your eyes, you don't actually want 499 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 4: to watch the game. You see the final box score 500 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 4: on Sunday and you see that whatever the worst team 501 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 4: in the NFL that you took, you know, at plus 502 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 4: three and a half as some home dog ends up 503 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 4: getting across the finish line when they lose by three 504 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 4: points like that is kind of what this is. And 505 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 4: this is for me where it's the trust the data 506 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 4: part of the process here. So my handing capping process 507 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 4: isn't gonna disagree with anything that I talked about of 508 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 4: that Sunday should or shouldn't be here. We saw him 509 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 4: lose all control with his irons this season. He dropped 510 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 4: another eleven last week in route to what has been 511 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 4: nearly a stroke per round off of his total from 512 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four versus what we've got from twenty twenty five. 513 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 4: But this goes back to just that same sentiment that 514 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 4: I keep talking about where courses matter, and that is 515 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 4: what I am looking at more here than anything else. 516 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 4: There's a home game narrative. I do think that's a 517 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 4: lazy handicap. I'm gonna avoid using that here. I know, ever, 518 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 4: love when I see somebody say, well, his bed is 519 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 4: in this town, he can drive to the course. He's 520 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 4: gonna be sleeping at home. Yeah, he is an affinity 521 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 4: for the property. I don't think that that hurts. It's 522 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 4: certainly something that's gonna help the process a little bit. 523 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 4: But what I got more so drawn to was this 524 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 4: output from him that moved him up my sheet because 525 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 4: he gets an expected increase in gr percentage. And I 526 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 4: understand worst approach player in this tournament. That's unequivocally we 527 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 4: cannot go a different route with it. 528 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: But the driver is. 529 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 4: Typically one of those weapons for him I've talked about. 530 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 4: You can find the fairways here and if you can 531 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 4: hit a higher GIR percentage and you then have the 532 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 4: ability to scramble at the same rate as Sung Jay, 533 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 4: that upside in my model did move him up to 534 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 4: sixteenth overall. I think that's higher than most people will 535 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 4: get him. Taylor really never got past that twenty eight, 536 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 4: twenty nine to thirty spot out of thirty players in 537 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 4: this field. So I think it kind of goes back 538 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 4: to the Harry Hall discussion I was having to where 539 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 4: if this was a tournament with a cut, I would 540 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 4: be a little less spoolish with going this route. But 541 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 4: because we do have four days, because I am trying 542 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 4: to find upside and I am trying to find a 543 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 4: golfer that I'm looking to take on, kind of checks 544 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 4: all the boxes here. 545 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: So I will go with Sung j M. Minus one 546 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: ten over Nick Taylor Spencer. 547 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 3: Let me follow with an ugly matchup of my own. 548 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 3: You gotta lay a little bit more on this price, 549 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: and it has been bet a little bit. I bet 550 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 3: it at one thirty five. I think there's a global 551 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 3: book right now that have it has it at minus 552 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 3: one forty five. 553 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 2: How about Colin Marakala. 554 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 3: That's an ugly match up here to take him, and 555 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 3: I'm gonna take him over, Cameron Young. Colin Marikala, Man, 556 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: it's been an up and down year. I think you're 557 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 3: still gonna see him make that make that Ryder Cup team. 558 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 2: But loyal boy, he could probably use. 559 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 3: I think at least a somewhat solid performance to ensure that. 560 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be on with this pedigree and 561 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 3: his major championship success. But man's it's been a whirlwind 562 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 3: for Colin Marricole. He said, Now I believe he's on 563 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 3: his fifth caddie this year, that being Mark or Bonnack, 564 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 3: who is Tony Fenw's old old bag man. So he 565 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: has him on the bag. He's tried everything, has not 566 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 3: been able to figure it out. Look at his numbers 567 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 3: last week, where you see he finished T thirty three. 568 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 3: He was number four on strokes he ain't approached last week, 569 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 3: only behind Michael Kim, Robert McIntyre and Victor Hovelin. He 570 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 3: was second in greens in regulation, hit seventy five percent 571 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 3: of the greens at Caves Valley fifty four for seventy two. 572 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 3: So why the hell did he finish TE thirty three? 573 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: Well because he was second to last in putting, and 574 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 3: he lost six strokes putting there at Caves Valley on 575 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 3: the bent grass last week and then lost four more 576 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 3: on strokes again in a round green. So he's an 577 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: absolute mess. But I'm going to bank on him going 578 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 3: back to the Bermuda here, a place where he's had 579 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 3: where he's had some success. He's actually been the low 580 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 3: scorer here before at east Lake last year. As a 581 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 3: matter of fact, Scotti Scheffler won the whole Tour championship, 582 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 3: but Colin Marikawa was the low scorer here last year, 583 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 3: so I think he likes this track. And you know, 584 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 3: I'm willing to buy a guy in a low spot 585 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 3: off a bad putting week, and that's exactly what Colin 586 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 3: Marikawa had, by the way, first year last year and 587 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 3: fourth here in twenty twenty three. So I've gotten hurt 588 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 3: a little bit with Colin Marakawa thinking he's going to 589 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 3: figure it out this year and so far he hasn't. 590 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 3: But I do like him in this matchup against Cameron Young. 591 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 3: I think Cameron Young kind of flourishes a little bit. 592 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 3: We can hit it, I think a little bit all 593 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 3: over the place. 594 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 2: Off the tee. 595 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 3: I don't think you could necessarily get away with that 596 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 3: here at east Lake. So I am going to go 597 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 3: with Colin Marikawa. We'll call it minus one forty five 598 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 3: because I think that's available globally at BETTMGM over Cameron 599 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 3: Young as my third selection. So Spencer, close us out 600 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 3: your card here at the Tour Championship. 601 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 4: So we did not talk about our bets in any fashion. 602 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 4: I didn't know what you were on, you didn't know 603 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 4: what I was on. It was the way that this 604 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 4: worked out is going to be a fun discussion to 605 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 4: be happy. Before I give my pick here, I do 606 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 4: want to touch on the Colin Moore Calein thing very quickly. 607 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: I like him this week. I agree with you. 608 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 4: I think this is a nice bounce back spot for him. 609 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 4: I always look at the actual ball striking that a 610 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 4: person puts together and then try to weigh in the 611 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 4: baseline short game statistics to figure out where a player 612 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 4: should be on the leaderboard. If we were getting that 613 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: general expectation from them, Colin Morikawas should have entered Sunday 614 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 4: last week inside of the top six. 615 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: Of the leaderboard. 616 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 4: As you talked about, short game went wonky on him, 617 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 4: almost six point eight strokes worse from his baseline projection. 618 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 4: With that, That's why we were in the spot that 619 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 4: we were in with him. However, Wess, there is one 620 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 4: thing that I'm differing with you on this and I 621 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 4: am actually going to buy into Cameron Young this week. 622 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's going to really take that route here. 623 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 4: I took him at thirty five to one very popular 624 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 4: pick last week. A lot of people thought that the 625 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 4: bent grass Greens, the Northeast Bent specifically was one of 626 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 4: those ideal venues for him, a little bit more of 627 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 4: an ability as you talked about to use that driver 628 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 4: off the tee. 629 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: I did not like him last week. 630 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 4: You know, we could call this somewhat neutral of like 631 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 4: whether the people who played them more correct through the 632 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 4: people that faded him were correct. I luckily had oberg 633 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 4: against him in a spot to where I was able 634 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 4: to win that head to head matchup. But I like 635 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 4: what I've seen from Cameron Young recently. And this is 636 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 4: coming from somebody who, by the way, West never plays 637 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 4: Cameron Young. I couldn't tell you the last time I've 638 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 4: done this in any fashion. He's usually one of the 639 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 4: players that I'm looking to take on weekly. But when 640 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 4: I look at what he puts together, there is a 641 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 4: lot of Wyndham Clark to his game. 642 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: Thrive off the tee, be great with the putter. 643 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 4: The struggles with the approach game is what always end 644 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 4: up shining through with him, and you talked about it. 645 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 4: If this goes south, it's going to go south because 646 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 4: of a driver that doesn't find the short grass enough 647 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 4: off the tee. The only encouraging trend that I saw 648 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 4: if I'm shooting for pure upside here in a thirty 649 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 4: man field. He was the number one expected producer from 650 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 4: me historically off the tee at donald Ross courses. He 651 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 4: also was an expected top twelve producer at some of 652 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 4: these courses where it's vital to hit the fairway off 653 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 4: the tee. So well, he is very wayward by any 654 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 4: structure of the imagination. He has found success in some 655 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 4: of these spots to where if he can just have 656 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 4: to find the short grass, he seems to do it 657 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 4: in these spots. So I'm going to buck public consensus 658 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 4: in this spot. I'm gonna take Cameron Young at thirty 659 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 4: five to one as what is just my one of 660 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 4: only two outrights that I have this week. 661 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 3: Spencer, you mentioned being strong with the putter, and that's 662 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 3: actually where I'm going for my final selection. 663 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 2: At thirty to one. 664 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: How about Bermuda Burns Sam Burns, who was second last week, 665 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 3: by the way in both putting and scrambling. 666 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 2: So the short game's in good shape. 667 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 3: Now he's on the Bermuda where we know he is 668 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: an elite putter. That's why I think he's still probably 669 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 3: at least somewhat on the periphery of Ryder Cup consideration 670 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 3: for maybe one of those last spots for Captain Kegan Bradley. 671 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 3: I think this week would go a long way if 672 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: he had a very good showing here in Atlanta. I 673 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 3: actually had him last week in the non the without Scheffler, 674 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 3: without Rory market last week, and he was right there. 675 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 3: He ended up getting tied with Bobby Mack as he 676 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 3: got off to a slow start, so I thought, Okay, 677 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 3: maybe I'm going to get a piece of this and 678 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 3: then did kind of fade late, so he ended up 679 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 3: t four last week. Sam Burns and I just think 680 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 3: that this is a guy that he's another guy can 681 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 3: be a little bit erratic off the tee. Certainly has 682 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 3: the distance, certainly has the short game. Can he be 683 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 3: a little bit better with the irons. I think they 684 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 3: can be very hit or miss for Sam Burns. For 685 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 3: so looking on approach, you'll see that he's not in 686 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: the top ten of this field. This week, but can 687 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 3: he have a Spike week. I'm thinking that he can, 688 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 3: so Sam Burns at thirty to one for me, Spencer, 689 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 3: just a couple minutes here. Any final thoughts for you 690 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 3: on what we're going to see here at the Tour Championship. 691 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: We kind of talked about it at the beginning of 692 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: this show. 693 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 4: I do think that over the course of time, they're 694 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 4: going to need to figure out a way to better 695 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 4: incorporate deciding who the winner is. It's as unfair as 696 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 4: it may have been in as terrible for television as 697 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 4: having that staggered starting strokes. I think it's as equally 698 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 4: unfair for a name like Scotti Scheffler to dominate this 699 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 4: year in the fashion that he has. He doesn't really 700 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 4: get any real advantage to try to capture the FedEx 701 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 4: Cup title here at the end, So I hope that 702 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 4: we can figure out some middle ground of what this 703 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 4: is we'll see. I'm always kind of coming on these 704 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 4: shows begging the PGA Tour to do things that they 705 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 4: don't end up taking and putting into place, and that's 706 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 4: my biggest gripe with them at this point. 707 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: But excited to do this with you, Wes. 708 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 4: I had a lot of fun having this conversation running 709 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 4: through this board, and hopefully one of the selections we 710 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 4: talked about, at least on the outright end can get 711 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 4: across the finish line. 712 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: Who wins somebody some money? 713 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, Spencer, great to have you, And by the way, 714 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 3: you can find Spencer Aggie are on the tweets at 715 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 3: te off Sports, find his work at rotoballer all over 716 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 3: the space.
