uh Brady great to have you back we’ll uh quickly recap here the Wells Fargo Championship uh Roy mroy playing at a very high level going into this he’s not going to be the favorite at the PGA Championship that’s going to be Scotty sheffler but you know certainly Rory and Scotty are right there at the top yeah I it’s really a great storyline that has developed here going into the PGA Craig you have Rory just absolutely dismantling Xander chafl to get his fourth victory at the Wells Fargo Championship last week and he looked stunning in in doing so uh from Holes eight through 15 a SE an eight hole stretch there he played it an eight under par while Xander played it at even par and at that point the golf tournament was over uh but let’s not write off Xander chaffle either this guy is still a top five player in the world he didn’t play that poorly on Sunday he was better than most of the field he didn’t necessarily lose the golf tournament but Rory absolutely won it and it’s very interesting that now he comes into Valla the the site that he won his last major to date in 2014 it’s amazing that it’s been 10 years since Rory’s won a major but it was right here at the PGA Championship at Valhalla and in that year in 2014 he arrived at balla coming off of two consecutive victories as he has done once again this year of course he won the team event the Zurich Classic and now his second straight victory at the Wells Fargo so a very similar setup for Rory you’ve got Scotty the brand new father Xander you know blowing 54 hole leads at the players and the Wells Fargo Brooks kepa’s in the conversation John ROM and you know what’s cool about this major Craig and you can no longer say this about the PLAYERS Championship the PGA Championship is now truly the very best field in golf you’ve got 16 players from the Liv circuit here no amateurs uh 20 Club professionals that make up the total of 156 so you know 136 players here are pretty Real Deal guys and most of them I would say you might be 80 to 90 players deep that have a legitimate shot to win this week yeah and I think and we’ll go through some of the players that you like and again we’re looking at odds courtesy of bet MGM and and what I find interesting about this week in particular not just from the the positions that you’re taking on some of the players but also from looking at some of the odd a lot of the top live golfers are finding their way onto the odds leaderboard here with Bryson D Shambo 25 to1 and ROM at 18 to1 and Brooks at 14 to1 looks a little different to me than it did for the Masters so so why is that Brady this week is this just a course that is meant for Brooks kka or for Bryson dambo I know dambo played very well early on at the Masters what’s the thought process behind setting these odds yeah I I think it’s the golf course Craig and it’s also the nature of the PGA Championship if you look at the PGA Championship over the last 10 years or so it’s really become a bombers tournament uh we’ve seen Bryson Des Shambo finish fourth twice in this Championship Brooks kepa has won it three times you know it’s really become a tournament that caters to the big hitters and those are the guys at the top of the odds board here this week John ROM Des Shambo Walken Neeman uh you know these guys Brooks Kea of course not only is a big hitter but has the history at the PGA so some of these guys that have made their way over to the Liv circuit Phil Michelson you know a surprise winner in 2021 and not a short hitter either uh so these guys some of these guys that have made their way over to the Liv circuit uh they happen to be very good PGA Championship players and a lot of them very big hitters so I you know the the Masters is a little bit unique I think it takes some different skill sets it takes a lot of creativity and touch especially around the greens I think the British Open is a very different test but the PGA and the US Open are probably the most closely related and uh there happens to be a lot of guys on the Liv circuit that have been very successful in both of those championships yeah and I think that from looking at some of the the positions that you’re taking is you’re buying into the bangers The Heavy Hitters this week because you like Brooks you like Bryson uh nean at 40 to1 uh will zalatoris sep straa and this is like my favorite part of our segment when we talk because I love when you you take these big shots because a lot of times I don’t think people realize this is that Brady people can take this information and will zures doesn’t necessarily have to win or seep straa doesn’t necessarily have to win or even Neeman because you could take these players to win the championship but again over on MGM and everywhere else there’s top 20 finishers top 30 finishers and so you could kind of head your way through this thing can’t you absolutely uh uh sep makes a lot of sense to me he’s not one of the biggest hitters he he’s above average or or around there but he’s extremely accurate and these Fairways are wide uh when you have narrow Fairways really narrow Fairways it’s actually a disadvantage for these shorter accurate hitters because they’re going to miss Fairways too and and you know if if the bigger hitter like Bryon is 50 60 70 yards past you if you’re both in the rough Bryson still has the advantage but when the fairways are wide the guys that are not accurate off the team maybe they’re real long they’re going to find the rough but if you’re very accurate like sep straa it’s okay if you’re a little further back as long as you’re in the Short Grass zalatoris uh is not necessarily a bomber either but his record in the major championships is incredible I was really surprised to see his priced balloon I you know I got him in in the neighborhood of 50 to one and I looked the very next morning on Monday morning he shot 80 in the final round at the Wells Fargo and I’ve seen him as high as you know into the 90s to win this tournament this is a guy that has an incredible record in Majors lost in a playoff just two years ago at the PGA Championship finished second at the US Open three top 10 at the Masters so I kind of believe that he will show up once again for this event he started off extremely well at the Wells Fargo and then kind of fell off over the weekend I think he’ll be ready to go uh this week but yeah you know uh the bombers the top 20s I mean you can kind of play way you want I I think it is going to cater to the cream of the crop here and yeah if you want to take some of these shorter shots for a top 10 some of the longer shots for a top 30 I think a lot of these guys are going to find a way to get into those markets and cash a ticket for you can’t wait to watch this weekend thanks again for coming on Brady you got it
