Connor Coughlin at cough
DFS I of course am Bo MC Breer at boore
mic BigTime the 19th Hole as always live
we got Wendy early occasionally punctual
Wendy early it’s on time for the latest
show we’ve ever had that goes show that
uh Wendy is is early when we’re late
love to see it Royal Slade from up there
in Calgary Alberta shout out to our
Canadian fellas there evening fellet and
Wendy is saying hi to Royal all right we
got we got our usual suspects we got
some new ones in in the chat fire it up
let us know what you think about the CJ
cup Byron Nelson CJ Cup by itself sounds
like a golf tournament but it’s not the
Byron Nelson is the golf tournament used
to be the AT&T Byron Nelson AT&T of
course a big Texas company Big Texas
everything’s big in Texas including the
companies you know I’m from Texas you
are I thought you were from Colorado no
well I was I was born in Plano Texas
holy
crap you learn something new every day I
thought you were born in like Denver
Colorado Springs or something like that
no I just tell everybody I’m from Denver
it’s easier to explain yeah I was born
in Plano Texas and I escaped immediately
pretty much immediately that’s good well
I am from NorCal shout
out and I still live in NorCal hold on
to be clear where are you from
nor nor you I’m telling you you learn
something new every day I need to hit
this Vape so I don’t cough as
much clear the lungs another Canadian is
in the chat Toronto Dave shout out Dave
we love you even though you’re from
Toronto we love
Toronto at this point I love Canada more
than in the US I mean all of our viewers
are Canadian it’s
wonderful I’m not complaining no I’m not
we need some of the nicest folks I’ve
met doing this if they didn’t live so
far apart from one another they could
spread the word and get more Canadians
to watch the
show if only there was a social media
platform that you could do that on you
should Market
that tono Dave says yeah wave the Looney
flag let’s go uh Connor what are you
drinking uh let’s not talk about the
Irish Triumph at the Zurich Classic of
New Orleans because they were the only
noteworthy pairing to really make the
cut and the rest of it was a complete
crap shoot which we we’re lucky to not
get an completely unknown pair winning
this thing it was very close to that uh
but are you drinking something tonight I
first off the Irish pair like I didn’t
talk about him last week but because I
have like extreme fear of missing out on
Rory I went I went and I faded them and
that was that was extremely smart of
course because I actually beat you
because you had them and one other team
make the cut and the rest of your team
was garbage and I got three out of six
and ended up beating you somehow by four
points in DFS because I had three
instead of two it was a it was a Gore
Fest it was disgusting three out of six
should never win a DFS head ahe head uh
so I will probably give that $9 right
back to you oh undoubtedly like I’m I’m
out for blood this week but I was gonna
say I did have a large large share of uh
Rory and and Shane Lowry um yeah Conor
what the [ __ ] didn’t have the right
lineup against you I don’t oh she might
be referring to the new digs that are
under construction yeah what the [ __ ]
Connor yeah portrait mode tonight
because yeah it’s a it’s a little rough
up here yet we’re his face is in high
defa and his background is in low deaf I
do I need makeup next time though I’m
realizing next time you should just do
the opposite where the background is in
focus and your face is a little
blurry you like I I can’t hide from this
light either so I’m just gonna be pasty
and pale I I can see your pores from
here
1080p that’s disturbing it is the
viewers the the viewership is plummeting
as we speak beautiful beautiful I’m just
scaring him are you drinking I’m
drinking I am drinking I’ve got a little
cookie dough whiskey tonight I uh being
that we’re late I just uh finished
dinner so I wanted a little dessert so
why am I sticky everything is sticky
like I I just touched my uh my second my
second computer with all the show notes
and literally stuck to the mouse P his
mouse pad startu to his fing and now his
mouse pad stuck to his
face and the dog is stuck to his leg cuz
it it was like cookie dough whiskey it
sounds good why am I sticky everything’s
sticky it’s okay if it’s your dog yeah
it’s true uh I am for the spirit of
where this tournament is being held in
mckin Texas just north of Dallas I’m
drinking McKenna bourbon from
Kentucky so yeah McKenna yeah McKenna
100 Proof age 10 years outstanding
bottled in Bon bourbon that means that
they have a government OverWatch on the
actual Rick room where these barrels are
being aged and so you have to keep
everything by the book and it it
provides a very consistent flavor
profile throughout all the bottles you
buy there you’re not going to get
inconsistency with this selection and
I’m cracking this thing open right
now we just had an influx into the area
of like a shitload of the um Evan
Williams single barrels and I think the
oldest bottle I saw floating around
round out here was about 2005 2008
something like that so and that’s a
really good one I’ve been trying to make
time to go get one Williams bottled and
bond is the best value whiskey you can
find un unsung hero of the whiskey world
it is inflation proof because it went
from $17 to
$22 it’s still a good value because it’s
good juice that’s my that’s my uh
whiskey of choice when I go camping up
in the mountains I bring the Evan
Williams bottled and bond yeah that one
or like I mean any anybody’s watching
the show knows that I drink old forest
or like it’s going out of style so yeah
I’m pretty picky with my o though I like
the prohibition style and I stick with
it 1910 for me or um yeah oh yeah
they’re all good I just I’m really
religious about how good 1920
is right yeah no argument for me but you
you know my daily Drinker usually the M
McKenna I was trying did she smells she
smells good Connor I was trying to get a
whiff smells
Woody that’s just your
mustache so what if I was just snorting
Oak
barrels throw throw them in the chipper
and I’m gonna snort that
Oak what do you say we talk about the CJ
cup Byron Nelson are you ready for the
caddy notes drop I’ve never been more
excited to talk about a more dull
subject in my life all right let’s go
all right cadd notes after the drop
[Music]
so Connor your uh your background being
blurry has inhibited the has allowed for
green screens media to say all
my friends are
[Laughter]
here all right we are gonna go to get
this whole room situation figured out
like sooner than later like I feel like
I’m in like a interrogation room right
now you look like you are and the hot
lamp on you is like Newman and Seinfeld
like if I turn this lamp off check this
out this is how dark it is if I turn
this off that’s much better do you want
me to do should I do the rest of the
show in this light don’t just just leave
your socks on while you’re at it all
right we’re making executive decisions
on the Fly I will be doing turn it back
on we want to see your shiny
face it goes out of focus pretty quickly
when you have it like that um so be bear
with me we’ll fix it we’ll get it fixed
TPC Craig Ranch not sure if Craig is
known for his Ranch and you’re blinking
help me in Morse code and uh yeah it’s a
it’s just it’s just a really weird
course for PGA Tour status it seems more
like a corn fairy tour type course am I
right here is it Craig’s Ranch like he
he owns the ranch or is it his favorite
dressing or dip uh who’s cra Craig and
what is his Ranch and why is there a
really easy golf course that this the PJ
tour visits every single year so so
Craig
Ranch little anecdote my dad played this
course like before anybody even knew
what it was before it was in the
rotation I have a golf shirt from here
and to this day people are like when I
wear it they’re like oh where the
where’s that me Texas yeah which the
only reason I know that is because of
covering golf otherwise it’s
unremarkable
um but the uh the Byron Nelson’s been
here the last three years so it’s the CJ
cup Byron Nelson uh TPC Craig no S Ranch
mckin Texas par 71 7414 yards we got zoa
Fairways I believe it’s Bermuda Ruff uh
Bentgrass
greens uh to your point B course plays
pretty wide open uh it’s a kind of a bit
of a bombers uh Feast there is n much
danger shot bom and gouge pudding
contest everybody’s
favorite well and even worse is the
greens are a little bit larger than
average uh they’re super receptive this
place almost is always getting moisture
this time of year so sticking them’s
pretty pretty easy so yeah it’s like I
said it’s like you just said and I said
it’s basically bomb it stick it close
make your putts um Power five scoring is
a must um you do have longer than
average approaches here though so um a
lot the guys we’ve been looking at for
the past few weeks that have good
approach from like 175 to 200 plus that
still plays pretty nice here it plays
great here but all in all I think the
idea with this place was that
potentially it was going to be play a
little bit more wide open when might get
at it dry it out make it a little more
difficult but that really
truly what they should have done was
kept the WGC match play which was also
in Texas and this one could have gone
away but I think CJ Cup being a Korean
sponsor they got lots of money like big
Deep Pockets and that plays a big role
in who gets to have a PJ Tour event not
necessarily the golf course that’s held
at um so yeah I I think this is going to
be a birdie Fest I think because of you
said weather um there’s there’s going to
be some moisture in the forecast passing
thunderstorms throughout all four days
it sounds like late spring to summer in
Texas honestly uh you can expect
thunderstorms in the afternoon expect
some hail rain wind tornadoes you just
don’t know uh T is the season for that
type of weather it’s just unstable it’s
just unstable but if if we get some
moisture here this course could we could
see 25 to 30 underpar instead of 20 to
25 right well you definitely could and
that’s what’s happened the last two
years is that’s why the scores have been
you know 23 26
25 it’s there’s been enough moisture um
what’s already moist unwittingly uh
pretty receptive greens you add moisture
to the equation you don’t get the wind
that drives it back out and it’s
basically just uh STI like I said
sticking them close and a lot of these
guys are are are good with that approach
metric a lot of these guys that Tee It
Up here are a little shorter hitters so
that 200 plus they’re right at home and
that’s uh it’s yeah I’m guessing 24 is
probably the range where I think uh I
think the winning score will be Cut’s
probably going to be around four
under that’s easy had you had Jay day
win it last year at 23 uh and then KH
Lee back to back at 26 25 so Panda we’re
on Panda watch I mean shout out to
Anchor Man but we are officially on
Panda watch this week because this dude
just happens to love TPC Craig Ranch
it’s the site of his only two PJ tour
victories it’s wild too because like he
he wasn’t really in form either year
leading in or anything not that he ever
really is in form he’s not in form this
year so fire him back
up hey if uh at this point uh 66% of the
time it works every time right I mean
seriously and let’s let’s jump right
into it uh we we talked enough about
this very basic uh tour average length
wide openen Fairways par
72 uh let’s let’s see who we’re going to
bet on because we’re it’s different from
last week week is that last week we
didn’t have a clue who was going to win
because nobody knew anything about
anything for the team event at in
Louisiana this week we have a lot of
guys from favorite all the way to the
deep deep shots that could very well win
here with their style of play fitting
this golf course and the recent form
accounted for it after this club Twirls
drop with Chad Brad and Thad we’re going
to get into how to win a [ __ ] ton of
money off the casinos which one is your
favorite uh the one with the the one
with the derby hat cuz he’s he’s
comfortable in his own masculinity
wearing the hat like that he’s got to be
Thad right he’s used to being punched in
the face so he’s not afraid of it
anymore we’ll let the chat decide yeah
[Music]
I think it’s Chad if we go
alphabetical have a
ficus are you Jordan spe there’s no
trouble off the tea this
week that’s Jordan Speed setting up for
his second
shot there are literally all kinds of
treasures up here anyways what’s funny
is we’re going to talk about Jordan spe
right off the Jump because betting
favorite 16 to1 Jordan spe he’s the
native of T Dallas Texas uh he hasn’t
won this tournament yet but he’s I he’s
a really decent golfer right uh and for
I like him for one reason alone he is
really good when there’s no penalty for
spraying t- shots all over the golf
course really good
he is
but I I can’t trust him I don’t I I just
I don’t
see I don’t see the value in bham I I
really don’t like this is the longest
odds we’ve gotten on a favorite this
entire season
Connor I frankly I just don’t 14 doesn’t
even seem like good enough odds on him
I’m still seeing him at 16 on certain
books but you’re right about DraftKings
yesterday was a 16 that’s already up to
14
I think if it goes any shorter than 14
I’m off of him because I like so many
guys in that 20 to 30 range that I don’t
need to bet Jordan spe if he’s
shrinking I I think I think with spe my
big thing with spe is always like I
value the scrambling at prowess I I
value the around the green magic he’s
the best there is at that I mean makes
sense it doesn’t play here though yeah
you don’t need either of them here so
the fact that he’s able to spray it off
the tea doesn’t give him any more of an
let me let me wet your pallet here
because um there are met there are
metrics here that do favor Jordan spe he
came in fourth in my model uh mainly
because total Strokes gained 12th
birdies are better gained third and
strokes gain par five second that’s why
I like Jordan spe of course his approach
his approach has been uh mediocre for
him his I mean he’s not terrible but
he’s not as good as he has been in years
past there and he’s only middle of the
pack in driving distance and strokes
gain putting so yeah if if we’re just
hoping that Jordan stays in play and
hits it closer than he has been this
season because the greens are gigantic
and he’s going to be hitting from sparse
rough or Fairway either way uh he can
make a lot of birdies here and there’s
there’s something about Jordan SM in a
scoring contest that is enticing because
this field is not very strong
I can’t I can’t fault your logic um and
it’s did that successfully W your pallet
a little bit are you interested in
Jordan at all even a placement bet I am
not
okay but I understand I understand the
argument I don’t necessarily disagree
with you I just I have a lot more
interest in really really spending on a
couple of guys there’s a couple shots
fired shots fired Royal that’s what I
was bowing to
um no there’s just there’s a couple of
guys that I’ve been waiting to really
spend like a good chunk of change
betting because I was waiting for here
one of them is SEIU Kim who at yes plus
1600 I just like a hell of a lot better
than Jordan so so SE W is gonna get my
money this week over Jordan be and I
mean I can’t go against him he’s he’s
played well here every single
time and and it’s not like it’s like SEI
wo is in good form and has been I mean
arguably for 18 months now yeah I
mean if you look at him he rided out
number one in the field uh this week at
in the last 24 rounds for overall Tia
green Strokes gained yeah uh he’s bogy
avoidance he’s number eight uh proximity
ranges he’s in the top 30 in every
proximity range that you can think of
and then overall just shots gained
approach over the last 24 he rates 13th
in this field so the big thing with SEIU
that continues to be uh his Achilles
heel really is the putting we we had we
had a
bad 140
first we had a brief streak where SEIU
was like not putting well but just like
right in that flat maybe below average
is an improvement for him so the the
thing about it though is if you look at
him here you just you just hope that he
putts flat and if he can putt flat um I
think se’s got a real shot at actually
big if it’s 16 to one my friend
especially when he’s not a bomber he’s
he’s one of the shorter hitters on Tour
St last
year 113th this season and birdies are
better gained in this field that’s where
the red flag comes up for me is SE with
how how heavily I waited opportunities
and birdies are better gained 113th
knocked him down to 82nd in my model
that’s gross over the last 24 he’s 56
and birdies are better gain but he
doesn’t give them back when he gets them
and opportunities gained he’s
21st okay I’m just I’m just playing
deil’s Advocate since you did that with
my baby angel Jordan spe no no that’s
fine that’s fine any interest in Jason
day defending Champion it seemed like
kind of a weird win last year where he
hasn’t been in form the last couple
years it’s just been it’s not the same
Jason day we all remember 2017 2018
Jason day he was world number one that’s
how good this guy was uh it’s not the
same guy anymore he’s 20 to1 defending
Champion odds I I I’m not on Jason day
are you showing any interest there no
I’m I really I can’t really make much of
an argument like he started out the
season looking like he was going to have
a pretty good season and it’s just been
nothing but downhill from there yeah
that once strong short game has not been
as strong and that that does not bode
well for him and he absolutely sucks
from anything outside of about 125 yards
right now Bingo all right I have a
choice for you at 25 to1 Tom Hogie or
Steph Jagger and I know that there’s
another guy that we both like at the
same odds but I we’re going to be
unanimous on him but we need to be able
to be flip a coin on those two guys let
me know let me know all I all I got to
tell you is I shower in that
[ __ ] in hogies or Jagger Jagger Meister
was it say you shower and sandwiches
that’s incredible yeah it explains the
smell well you smell like black licorice
I guess that explains a lot to you uh no
I’m gonna be I’m gonna be out on hogi I
think um yeah I think I think the things
that hogi doesn’t do well get Amplified
here he’s not a good driver of the
golfball can’t putt so his putting so
bad so we’re 100% relying on his
approach game which the longer approach
distances actually G him trouble yeah 50
uh or 29th which is by his standards bad
and theno overall approach fourth but
the longer distances give him trouble uh
117th and driving distance so he’s going
to be hitting more of those longer
approaches uh yeah I’m with you on that
one it’s a fade for me I love Jagger and
we both love Ben on we been on Ben on
we’ve been on been on this week is his
week I’m going to tag him on Twitter cuz
he’s active there we are rooting for you
Ben let’s go get it 25 to1 that’s a
smash um any interest in our ice cold
approach Man minw Lee we love him
but I do want to say with Ben on just
one quick thing talk about meno but
every single week that Ben On’s been
playing the way that he has I’ve said
the same thing every week I prefer Ben
on at a place that’s wide open with no
penalty for missing the Fairway where he
can just bomb away MH we have arrived we
have arrived and he’s 13th in 200 plus
approach he’s third in driving distance
love that bomber baby 22nd and birdies
are better gained 31st and total Strokes
gained
and actually I’m looking at 109th in
putting that’s that’s an improvement for
him the dice thing is is that right now
he’s fifth in Opportunities gain which
means he’s sticking it close and he’s e
and bird or better rate
so giving himself chances let’s go Ben
so I got no fears of Ben on this is the
tournament that I’ve been waiting for
for the last month so I’m I’m all in on
on
go okay right Mino any interest Mino I
know we you love men wo more than I do
uh this week I think approach is just
too
important if this was going to get down
and dirty like if we had a weather
report that said it was going to get a
little nastier play a little bit higher
scoring I’d be a lot more and on meno
but um we we’ll be we’ll be back but not
this week no yeah this isn’t his this
isn’t his circus or his
monkeys um let’s see here Tom Kim’s
getting a lot of steam I don’t get it he
hasn’t showed us anything this
year sunj is red hot though between I
was just about to ask you between Tom
Kim and sunjay at at those odds easily
I’m all sunjay like I don’t get the Tom
Kim love here well sunjay started off so
slow this year that we kind of lost
track of him but we forget that he’s
like 23 and like ridiculously talented
and we’re not saying Tom Kim isn’t but
what we’ve seen the last three four
weeks is Tom Kim is not at the same
level as sunjay right now and so sunjay
on a course like this where it’s just
point click shoot go for the pin uh I
like his
chances I love Adam shank’s chances
though 35 to one number one in my model
Adam shank the best name in
golf so I wrote him up as a fade in DFS
so I’ll let you tell the people why they
should play Adam
shank it’s it’s weird uh we’re never
gonna see Adam shank at 35 to one ever
again unless he starts winning these
things but sixth than total Strokes
gained third and approach second in
birdies gained fifth in 200 plus
approach 10th in Strokes gain par five
he’s uh longer than average off the T
and he’s better better than average
putting every metric in my model is he’s
at least in the top 50 that’s number one
by a a great margin in my model so uh
he’s getting the the stat bet this week
at 35 to one same same number same type
of uh profile in my model as Keith
Mitchell rated out number one ke number
one in my model he was numbered two over
the last 24 in t to Green number three
on approach number two in Opportunities
gain number five in B birdie or better
rate and then in the top 20 for every
other stat my model including the
longdistance um proximities that we’re
looking at for approach is Keith in mind
and we all know Keith Mitchell is one of
the best drivers of the golf ball on
tour not only doesn’t have to be this
week everybody’s a good driver on this
course that’s why yeah but it’s not just
the accuracy with Keith Mitchell and I
think that’s the undersold part of his
game I mean he is number 12 in this
field for distance so no I I I get he’s
great off the tea but he doesn’t have to
be this this course erased is off the
tea issues like you just don’t have the
consequences so he can pipe it down the
middle and a guy that’s piping it on the
left side of the Fairway is just G to
have as good a shot as he does it’s not
it’s not an equalizer for me yeah it’s
not but I’m what I’m saying is is it’s
it’s not um it’s not an advantage but he
doesn’t lose anything by being as good
off the tea as he is so I filtered it
he’s 49th in my m not terrible not not
great either 108th on approach overall
and then 101st in putting uh that’s what
knocked him down the rest of the stats
look fine I’m I’m I’m not saying asmer
ke’s a bad play especially when his odds
are 35 to one in this field I like him I
just think I think shank’s gonna do
better I’ll take that bet let’s go beer
bet
city right interest in two-time Champion
KH the panda Lee 50 to
one I don’t think lightning strikes
twice let alone three times so so I’m
going to yeah his his recent form
leading into this tournament is actually
somehow worse than it was two and three
years
ago yeah I’ll be a pass on on KH Le here
all right anybody in that 50 to 60 range
that you’re on I have a couple guys down
to 60 but um I’m going to avoid the rest
of that range um I’ll probably go I I’m
I’m debating I like a lot of longer guys
Aaron Ry may find his way onto the card
I’m I’m up in the air he’s playing well
why do Aaron Ry when it feels so good to
play Doug gim does feel good to play
Doug gim and this is another guy Doug
gim is another Doug gim tournament this
is a Doug gim tournament he’s he’s 60 to
one every week like
literally he hasn’t he has flowers on
Mondays now like
that’s yeah yeah and a pack of sigs yeah
I mean but he annihilates par fives he’s
number one in this uh in this field in
in Strokes gain on approach number six
on par fives yeah this this guy number
seven in total Strokes gained and the
odds just don’t reflect that this guy’s
playing out of his mind this year he’s
having a great season so just because
he’s having off weeks when you play him
doesn’t mean he’s not having a great
season by his standards when did he win
last he doesn’t he doesn’t win oh oh
seems like a good out right this would
be the chance for him to win because
this the field is pretty bad no I uh I
actually I was going to say much like
Ben on if if gim’s gonna get it done
this would be the week for him to do
it yeah and uh I’m not happy to see some
of our favorite guys here getting
shorter and shorter odds by the minute
Peter Quest 70 to1 was 90 yesterday
getting a lot of steam he’s playing
really well right now the last month or
so he’s Monday qualified into a top five
finish a couple weeks
ago yeah I love Peter Quest 70 to1 is
pushing it though for
me uh yeah I I just don’t know where his
game’s at like this seems like a course
that he should set up really well for
but he play really well here last year
14th last year he’s been all over the
map though like he oh yeah he’s streaky
he bombs it and he putts well and that’s
about it the and that’s why like 71 just
seems too short short to me like
especially when I mean even this
afternoon when I looked at him I think
he was like 80 or 90 yeah he’s 70 now
and number four and birdies are better
gained in my model so he’s sixth overall
in my model right now at the latest
thing I like him I’m going to play the
[ __ ] out of him in DFS betting him at 70
to1 makes me nervous I’d rather kind of
go down to another stripe show Kevin Yu
who’s a better approach player at all
distances than Quest is uh at like Jake
knap at 80 he’s he was at 90 yesterday
but he only shortened to 80 his approach
game is way better than Quest and Taylor
pendrith number two in my model he’s
burned me all season so Taylor pendrith
come on baby show me something I’m tired
of getting flowers in the mail number
two in my model needs to stand for
something and I’m not even mentioning
Daniel Burger because he’s number F he’s
top five in every model I ever run even
if he’s not in the field he’s in the top
five and he never does anything with it
so we’re skipping Burger this week again
because pendrith is the one I’m praying
for so I I’m not on pendrith but or
Quest but I’ll be all over Jake nap Jake
knap again is fitting the type of player
big Siesta these are the there’s a theme
with the guys I’m targeting like Wide
Open Spaces long drives excellent
approach which Jake naap rates out
fourth in the field over the last 24 and
then I’m like 100% in on team no but
this week like doesn’t yeah I don’t I
don’t care about putting because these
guys are good approach players that bomb
the ball get shorter clubs in their
hands and knock the ball very close so
yeah okay uh if that’s the case what
about our guy Alejandro toy from
Argentina I don’t think I’m betting him
this week but I’ll play him in DFS I I
see the value that’s that’s the right
play though yeah he’s that exact model
of what you just said I had to mention
him 90 to1 if you’re if you’re a toasty
fan uh like I on occasion yeah I do I do
dabble in the
toasty let’s see Joseph bramlet Fits
that mold his his season’s been kind of
Rocky compared to last year where he was
Stronger we haven’t seen much out of
bramlet I think Garrick higgo is a good
play at 110 but more of a DFS play yeah
DFS play higo fits that kind of mold too
it I mean we’ve over the years we’ve
tried to get higo right he’s easier to
get right on DFS yeah he’s he he’s
easier to get right on a dart
board um I know you’re going to play our
Finnish thick boy Sami
valaki uh debating on that actually yeah
he’s he’s rating out pretty poorly he’s
a he’s a fan pick he’s a fanboy pick
though since his appearance at the
Mexico open where he was dueling with
Jake knap we haven’t seen valaki do
much I’m having a minor panic attack cuz
my uh secondary computer is dying and I
don’t think I have my charger up here oh
excellent uh who are your long
shots um
so before this dies and I don’t have it
in front of
me um I’ve got I’ve got a lot of
interest in Andrew Novak again we
skipped right over him I think at 90 to1
we were super high on him last week yeah
mattye Schmid at 80 to
one um but yeah valami was about as deep
as I went at 1 30 I’m going to take a
couple shots of Bud collie just hoping
that uh he resurrects himself we love
Bud
collie I’m gonna take some shots at
Cameron Champ shout out NorCal yeah
baby and uh that’s probably it for me
too I’ll have deep shots like R Hoy and
DFS um but yeah as far as betting on
them
no we didn’t talk about our guy Rio
hisatsune I don’t I don’t like Rio here
I yeah I I don’t think he’s got enough I
don’t think he’s got enough Gusto to get
take it down um I think I think don’t
let him get hot though don’t let him get
hot decent um decent placement value
like if you get a top 10 on him with
good money that might not be a horrible
bet to do Steve Anderson’s trying the
new products from BigTime flavor. go he
got some Green Envy H I got to get that
order in that looks delish yep that’s a
salsa Saturday did I see a teaser that
there might be a new rub in the lineup
mhm yep not not out yet cuz the the
collaborator that I’m dealing with has
not tasted it yet so I’m going to let
him taste it before I release it onto
the
site it’s going to be good though says
it’s
legit um but yeah the to round out the
betting part like I think there’s 10
guys that I wrote up in my in my column
this week those are the only 10 that are
going to make my card I’m I’m gonna I’m
going to do much more of a buckshot
approach in DFS there’s a lot of guys
that fit the mold I’m looking for but as
far as going over investing in uh on on
the betting side i’ probably just uh go
a little bit light this week so guess
what what up until last week we were
both in the top five of all the golf
analysts on the
internets and Zurich Classic killed us I
know it killed me out of the top five
cuz I was hanging on at number five you
were number two for for even number two
for most of the season but having both
of us in the top five of all the golf
experts if you want to call us that uh
it’s pretty exciting and I think that
we’re going to get right back on track
this week Zurich is such a crap Sho God
I hate that tournament um I’m still
bitter that they got rid of the match
play and kept the Zurich yeah for all of
our viewers next year that will be me
and Bose’s one week a year that we
vacation um yeah let’s we were both
slamming trunks last week it was a
vicious horrendous trunks slamming
Extravaganza we were both tuned into the
draft early and often because of it uh
let’s try not to do it this week in
McKenna the club is
well this would be a wrestling
[Music]
all right Connor’s uh throwing his
laptop out the window of his blank
office I found my charger we’re good all
right he he ran during the drop to get
his charging cord
God so I’ve been doing my I’ve been
doing my day job up here for like about
a week now what’s the call
Blue and I was like you know what I’m
going to commit I’m going to set up up
here I’m going to I’m going to make it
work for the
show poor decision poor
decision yeah okay so that was the thing
is last week the one crowning moment for
this show was that the the Hat got into
the top
five and we were making fun of the Hat
as ah the Hat’s dead they picked grayer
and Nico for the Hat pick we were like
oh that that’s the end of the Hat no the
Hat abides the Hat wins and it lives it
keeps on chugging with the most darkest
the darkest horse of all dark horses the
Hat lives and you probably just jinxed
it by putting it on your
head I’ve worn that thing way too much
oh that’s good I don’t know if you see
the top of the Hat the top of the Hat
actually has
a oh it’s it’s a glory
hole so it it provides no protection
from the Sun anymore we’re just it’s
it’s here for The Vibes it’s here for
hot takes apparently all right so top of
the board who you got here
Connor Jordan 10,900 for Jordan spe
10,400 for Jason day wolf and we saved
we were robbed of a chalk fade in Willie
Z will zuris withdrew today or yesterday
um undisclosed reason probably because
he needs yeah he needs a yeah still
probably just working himself back
getting a little sore uh he and theala
played like trash which killed both of
us so it it was it was rough to watch
last week so wiy out of the field kind
of hurts us in a way in DFS because it
was somebody that a lot of people would
have signed up for that we were probably
gonna Fe
fading yeah zator is like it’s on it was
in a Golf Digest this afternoon like
sort of doctor’s orders to take the week
off like make sure his back
is okay um especially since it’s a
movement injury so giving it ample rest
is very important so he’ll be back he’ll
be back in a week or so not no biggie um
but yeah I I’ll tell you are we are we
both starting with sewu Kim we are both
starting with sew Kim that’s what I
thought because H the chalk at the top
is gross I actually have a lot of um I
have a lot of Adam Scott
too it’s an interesting play
so we got siuk Kim I like I like sunj
sj’s DFS scoring is not great but Adam
Scott’s better Alex norin is your stat
darling he makes every cut but doesn’t
do much more than that mini chalk fade
for me
9400 and we’re both going to be very
obese on benon and step Jagger because
that’s what we
do yeah right now almost every lineup
that I’ve built has started seiw Ben
on so I mean you might want to diversify
a little bit I am so I this is one of
those weeks where I’m just so convinced
okay well it could go one of two ways
yeah very well or very poor exactly no I
uh
I I like I like the stepen Jagger Steve
never wants to see it
again I can respect that it was a little
more brutal when I put it on air Yeah
Tim must have missed the Hat being worn
because he’s still hailing the Hat Tim
has seen the Hat in person and Tim and I
were actually I I think we either did a
shot or TI two beers back when we saw
ETA doing what graser’s graser’s short
game was impeccable though because
Nico’s bombing it out there and sticking
it in there but graser short game was so
good I was surprised because we haven’t
seen much am on
tour um before I lose my train of
thought yeah I think I think the play up
here is is is probably sunj um in terms
of pivot I think I think he’s got the
like the best
leverage and it just depends on how much
you trust that he’s kind of back and
found his Groove but if you’re looking
for a leverage play up top I think
that’s the one is Sun JM yeah and I kind
of skipped down a little bit here I’m
not really interested in Tom Kim I’m not
too high on cashmir Keith I’ll have a
little bit of him
dri I’m luk on him McKenzie Hughes is
interesting McKenzie Hughes should do
well here will he do well he doesn’t
rate out well for me what what’s with
McKenzie
Hughes yeah I McKenzie Hughes is
probably not for me I honestly in that
in that range from a rating standpoint
like Keith Mitchell Keith Mitchell and
shank and Panda right there below
him I I like Keith Mitchell rates well
and then MAV is rating okay I’m probably
fade on MAV just because he’d be rated a
lot higher if you were waiting uh
putting on there because MAV putts the
lights out yeah 100% he would but since
we don’t care about putting um yeah I
don’t know it’s a weird range for me I’m
not I’m not super excited to to play any
of those guys um you know Keith Mitchell
who I like is an outright I I don’t know
that I like him at $8,800 in DFS no no
it’s pretty rough that’s that’s a little
steep especially with the ownership
yeah and for me I’m I’m kind of I’m
picking and choosing a lot of the same
guys we’re betting on Jake naap at 8,000
flat is excellent price for him uh I I
have a feeling we’re both going to be
really heavy on him
and really you can kind of go down
farther Doug gim 77 we’re we’re lot of
these same guys are getting great values
and not a lot of chock so that’s what
we’re looking for
anyway yeah Jake knp actually was
creeping up I haven’t refreshed it
lately but
at 8,000 though I’m okay with being
equal to the field yeah yeah that’s you
don’t need much even to be equal to the
field honestly he was just kind of
getting a little heavy but he was a 12
or 14% something like that I I I would I
would match him up to
20 yeah I think I think this is again
just like what we’ve been kind of
waiting for um yeah just like our our
hit at the Mexico open it’s a comp
course Vidant is very similar to this
golf course
uh down in the sevens though I mean uh
Novak Novak
7400 um reasonable roster ship there
he’s at a seven and a half which is
about par with everybody in that range
Kevin yeah but then it’s like Nate
Lashley rated okay bud
collie um what about our streaky friend
Justin
low can’t figure him out I can’t can’t
either and he’s getting up to being like
the chalki in that region oh then that’s
fine that’s an easy
one CT pan with fluff on the
bag guy kind of likes CT pan a little
bit can’t quit I yeah I don’t know what
to make see this the problem once you
start getting down into the sevens and
the sixes here is we’re doing Buckshot
Approach at this point these are all
lottery ticket guys I mean that like any
one of these dudes can pop up and put it
together for this week and I I don’t
have a strong lean on any of them I mean
other than you know you you called out
Greaser you know has been playing pretty
well he’s got low roster ship 7100 he
makes he makes a lot of sense to make
things happen up top toasty toasty
mattye Schmid if you can stomach 12%
Matty Schmid that’s gross yeah I mean
he’s another guy this week the the
secrets out like I think you think he’s
rting out for all the right right
reasons so and we’re both feading
Chandler Phillips this is not his type
of golf course although we love him this
is not his type this is not his his uh
his type of golf course um I’m I’m in on
cam champ as I mentioned earlier and yes
Steve Anderson Dylan Dylan Dylan Dylan
and Dylan the five best
rappers queens and get me a sugar cookie
Dylan Woo is in the field shout out
Southern Oregon Dylan Woo is in the
field he is in the player pool yes we
are playing Dylan woo
woo we we are playing Dylan woo I uh I
don’t I don’t I was confident about
Dylan woo at this particular course he’s
a shorter hitter but I feel more no he’s
not he’s 29th in driving distance 297
average I mean he’s not a long hitter
put he’s well above average
you know who is a long hitter that’s
right there at the same price Rico hoey
who’s playing really well he is he’s
he’s hot right
now uh Hayden Springer any interest
Justin
Su
um that’s getting pretty hairy down here
uh Val valaki at 7K I think we’ve
already talked about him a few times um
Ryan Moore it’s a Texas course he rates
out well here God he hits at like 260
though yeah I know he’s he’s the anomaly
though in my model like none of the
distance seems to matter like rates out
well from the longer approach metrics
has uh approach in general has been good
his te to Green uh the last 24 rounds
that he’s played at least measured uh he
rates out third for strokes gain in this
field so I I mean it’s not a sexy pick
but but he rates out well Eric
Barnes
um Marty Doe
Callum
Taran Kevin dirty is somebody that I’m
looking at at 6,400 okay okay I’m with
you we’ve looked at him a few times he
he’s gonna he is he’s a bomber I mean
that’s what he is um and hasn’t put
together much on the approach game yet
um but the one approach bucket that he
does rate out really well in is the 200
plus yard one so that’s good we we got a
bomber who can also hit the longest of
irons really well and scores well on par
fives and Par fours um so this this
could be a really good track for him yep
I agree with that U I’m going to take
one more shot at Pearson Cy at 6200 just
a couple lineups um he’s he’s playing
awful if you look at it the whole season
but the last month or two he’s been
better uh he uh his other brother Parker
who’s more consistent and doesn’t have
as much talent they’re twins which is
funny because they’re their opposite
style of golfer uh it was Parker that
killed them and made them miss the cut
last week so I think Pearson’s got the
talent to go low here if he finds the
right Rhythm which is it’s it showed up
more the last month or two but the first
part of the Season Pearson Coy was so
bad so so
bad yeah I don’t I don’t have the cooe
itch the way that you do that might be
true uh Trace Crow is somebody we’ve
talked about 6200 that would be the last
guy
it’s a murder of Trey’s
Crow anytime somebody does a crow C all
I can think of is fight milk from Always
Sunny yeah it’s made with bits of real
Crow that’s good stuff um but Trace Crow
is somebody who can bombit um and uh
he’s he’s just kind of real streaky he’s
a real streaky player on corn faery he’s
he’s going to be a hard one to get right
but if you find yourself down here at
the bottom like this you know you got
Kelly craft you got Cy you got Trace
Crow and that’s that’s really the only
guys that like I would have any
confidence they’re gonna make the pool
but not much more you can’t say much
more than that yeah all right so who’s
gonna win this thing and the final
score I’m gonna go Ben on at
[Music]
25
25 let’s see I am GNA go
with you ready
Stephen joerger at
27 he’s gonna he’s gonna go back to back
on the Texas Swing he won the shell
Houston open a few weeks ago he’s gonna
win the CJ cup Byron Nelson first round
leader first round leader I’m gonna go
with Ben
on that’s [ __ ] up dude but Ben on is
one of the best Thursday players on tour
it’s it’s a statistical fact like we we
were making fun of Hayden Buckley last
year for being so on Fridays Ben On’s an
outstanding Thursday player you know
Hayden Buckley’s in the field I know
yeah he hasn’t done [ __ ] for us this
year so that was the last year thing
quit living in the was uh I’m gonna go
uh cashmir Keith first round
leader he’ll be well-dressed for it not
like Jason day who will be poorly
dressed for
it the
Hat all right once again for all who
missed out the hat is completely
undefeated has never missed the cut it
has never been outside the top 20 and we
he’s going to draw a number and the
number corresponds to the spot in our
models and we’ll pull up a golfer yeah
let’s see what’s the number one
69
nice I don’t care who the golfers are I
knew you’d be
pumped that’s the best hat draw Ever
Carl youan hey hey let’s go
Carl all right Carl you won is your
number 69 nice mine is oh my God this is
this will definitely end the streak if
we’re going off Kevin
TW rated out okay in my model actually
yeah he’s rated 69th in
mine well by okay I mean I think he was
in like the top 50 but yeah okay tway
dude Carl youan I might have overlooked
this 11th and driving distance 26 T to
Green 17th from 175 to 200 plus he’s a
birdie
maker I got to look at Carl Yan on my
model Now where’s he at Carl Yan if he’s
higher on my model then you know it’s
true he’s
[Laughter]
not well I I’ll give him a second look
yeah he’s he’s all right but the Hat the
Hat has not completely [ __ ] the bed yet
so we’ll see Carl Carl is 80th in my
model not bad not Kevin TW I think Steve
did ask he miss what we were drinking so
I’m drinking cookie dough whiskey
because I had a late dinner wanted
something sweet sticky sticky everything
is sticking to me and I’m drinking
