Let’s go ahead. Let’s jump into some first round leaders there. Uncle Dave, I’m going to go first with this. I’m going to take the guy that went ahead and won here last year. And that was Robert McIntyre at 50 to1. I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t use him here. Uh this guy’s probably going to come in here confident. Obviously, he won here last year. And he’s been good pretty much all season long. He’s 20th right now in the FedEx Cup. And at this course, you know, this guy has shot a 63 and a 64. I actually think that those kind of scores can get it done here to be a first round leader here on day one. Also, McIntyre goes out relatively early and he has a strong group with him. He’s going to be out there with Sheffller and with Adam Scott, guys that can hit the putter, guys that can hit the iron. So, I think that McIntyre is in a really good group. So, I’m going to use him at 50 to1. And then I have a feeling you might have this guy there, Uncle Dave. Sammy Valamaki, 120 to1. Uh, this guy’s one of the better first round scorers. I actually think he’s like sixth or seventh when it comes to first round scoring. Valamaki, he’s been here three times. I don’t think this course is going to surprise him at all. So, I wanted to go ahead and use a guy, you know, that’s going to go out a little bit early in the morning with some pretty big odds. I didn’t think I’d get 120 to1 on Sammy Val Macki, but I’m going to go ahead and do that. So, those are my two there. Uncle Dave, Robert McIntyre, Sammy Val Mackey. Those are my first round leaders. What do you got? Yeah, I was going to use Sammy, so I’m glad you did. and I didn’t want to be redundant. So, I’m glad you kind of fell on him without without me. Um, but I did use one guy that uh I used quite a bit. I used Harry Hall at 75 to one. And aside from being the sixth best on tour in first round scoring average, he’s got a similar game to another guy that I like who was Sam Burns at 55 to1. And Hall’s significantly slightly less accurate off the tea, but it doesn’t hurt that he’s from the UK. He’s gonna have support. and Sam Barns at 55 to1. You know, statistically, he’s the best player on tour. Uh he’s also a plus in both distance and accuracy off the tea. If he gets his approach shots better than they’ve been, he can win. Uh but with a huge grains here at this course, I think actually approach accuracy might be a little bit negated. Uh and he’s got a fairly early tea time as well. So Sam Burns at 55 to1, Harry Hall at 75 to1. All right. All right. Well, there you guys go. Four first round leaders for you. Hopefully, we go ahead cash one of these early tickets. Actually, Uncle Dave, you’ll be asleep when this one te’s off. So, maybe you’ll be a winner when you wake up. You never know.
