We got the PGA Tour. Playoffs are here. Playoffs. I hate that. Why do I have to say playoffs? I hate it so much. Guys, this is the start of the wrap-up of the season. The final three events starting now. Fairway to Heaven. We are live breaking down the FedEx St. June Championship in 30 seconds. [Music] And a very good evening everybody. Welcome to Fairway to Heaven right here on the ST Sports Network. We are live YouTube and Twitter. You know the drill. Wherever you’re watching, hit that like button, hit that share button, and hit that subscribe button. And please vote on the poll if you’re watching on YouTube or on Twitter. On YouTube, we have a poll on YouTube only. Do you like the new PJ Tour playoff structure with the no starting strokes? That’s the poll question of the day. We’re going to get into that in a minute. But please, first and foremost, like, share, and subscribe. And and bring those questions. Drop those questions. As as you can see, Jason looks a little different right here. Um, he he went out, got a little bit of a tan, Jason, and changed his name on the screen. We’re welcome back. Uh, Jason, unfortunately, for the next couple weeks, will be MIA as Jax is starting football, tackle football, and it’s training camp for tackle football for the next couple of weeks. So, Jason is MIA. So, we got my man Rashad joining us and Stephen. Good evening, Rashad. How you doing? Good, good to be back, guys. I uh you know I I I could have worn my Michigan State football jersey to to to fit in with Jason and you know but I I it’s it’s deep in the closet. I got to find it. So but it’s good to be back. Uh an unprecedented third trip this season for me. So um it’s good to it’s good to be here. Last year Steven was on like three times and he just became a regular fixture and we just added him to the team, you know, after a while. So I never know. Stephen, we are in the wrapup of your first full season on Fairway to Heaven. How about who would have thought we wouldn’t have fired you by now? I didn’t think I was going to make it to Barely the Masters, you know? I thought after the first major, you know what I mean? I was going to I I didn’t qualify to get my card for the rest of the season or something like that, you know? Well, you have to finish. You have to finish in the top 50 so you can make it for all signature events. Got to keep Got to keep it moving. This week, um, obviously this week is a great event. and it starts the playoffs on the PJ tour, the FedEx St. Jude Championship. First and foremost, let me just throw it out there. I always recommend and I always do this. Unfortunately, I have very little success at the St. Jude most years. Um, if you guys want to make a donation, St. Jude is a fantastic charity and a fantastic event. I always recommend if you’re going to bet and you’re going to play big money events, consider donating a small percentage of your winnings to St. Jude, everybody. So, I would greatly appreciate it. And we’re going to talk about another fundraiser later in the show, but guys, please consider making a champion a donation to to St. Jude. Uh, you know, the playoffs, you know, the poll question we’re running on Twitter. Do you like the new structure? The playoff structure is still the same. Top 70 make it top 50 move on to next week with BMW top 30, the Tour Championship. But this year they’re doing away with the starting strokes in the tour championship which means you Scotty Shuffler is not going to start at minus 10 and Rory’s not going to be minus 9. So everyone’s going to start equal. So Scotty’s going to have to beat everybody you know in in a couple of weeks at the tour championship. But what it does is it creates a reason for this to be 69 of the 70 golfers teeing it up this week. There is no Rory. He’s choosing to skip it. And I know Rashad, you’re going to mention Tiger used to always skip an event, but I want to get your opinions. And we’ll start with you, Rashad, as the guest. Thoughts on them eliminating the starting strokes at the tour championship and what it could mean, good or bad, for this playoff run here this this year? I I don’t really think it does anything to be perfectly honest. I mean, the whole reason they put this this starting strokes thing in place to begin with was because you had the dual winner. uh you know, Xander would win the tour championship every year and then there would be a different FedEx Cup winner and it just led to this awkward moment on the on the trophy stand where they had to give out two trophies to two different people and so they were like okay well we want there to just be one finite winner so they created this method you know again they on the fly they created this oh well we’ll just you know we’ll make it to be starting strokes and then you know so then you would have one winner at the end uh and then for some reason they just decided okay well we’re not going to do that anymore and nobody really knows why Um, other than the fact that just the starting strokes thing was not very wellreceived from the beginning and they just decided to NYX it mid-season. I don’t really think it matters one way or the other. It’s just going to be the the playoff system itself is broken. So, it’s just different. You know, you know, as I’m listening to Rashad talk there, Stephen, I’m thinking obviously we have a potentially new commissioner. We’ve got a temporary we got like kind of a a co- thing going on there with Moan and the other guy. Eventually, Moyahan’s going to be gone. Could this new structure for this year honestly might not even last for more than one or two years till the other guy takes over 100% and then comes up with another idea. Stephen, what are your thoughts on this whole, you know, starting strokes being eliminated? Are you do you like it or you dislike it? Uh, I like it in the terms of it eliminates that, like what Rashad was saying, that awkwardness for there to be two winners on Sunday, but it doesn’t really I guess I’m disappointed that they haven’t done more, but I also think it they’re wanting it to fail in a sense, right, for it to be like we need to change something, right? Um, one of those changes I personally they should I I think they should have is there should be a miscut. Make it top 30. If that’s what the ultimate the last tournament’s going to be, the tour championship is the top 30. Why not make it the top 30 each week? Make it make make I think there should be points taken away for missing the cut throughout the season so that it puts an emphasis on missing the cut in the playoffs. make it a little bit more interesting and make Rory want to go, “Ah, [ __ ] I might have to uh depending on how well I did or didn’t do. I might have to play, you know, in in the St. Jude. I might have to play, you know, another or he he missed what, two signature events this year. So, he might have to go. I might have to play a signature event, you know, because I for whatever reason other people as well if there’s, you know, negative points for miscut.” So, I think they just got to do more. But I think ultimately it’s uh it’s set up to fail so that they can fix it. I I I think that’s very interesting. Rashad, what do you think of what Stephen just said there that it’s first off that it’s set up to fail and then everything else that he said there? I think I I actually love the idea of of subtracting points for miscuts because it actually puts emphasis on the Thursday Friday rounds which you know the us that play DraftKings obviously and bet you know we follow Friday you know Friday is probably my most stressful day of the week because you know you’re always just you know you’re you’re sweating your your golfers making it through the cut line. Um and I think that it would make you know because then it would allow them to really focus on it during the broadcast instead of just following the same six players every every uh tournament. Now you’re like, “Okay, well, you know, if Andrew Novak doesn’t make this putt on 18 and he misses the cut, then he’s gonna fall outside the top 70 and he’s not going to make it to XYZ.” I think it I think it would create more drama throughout the season uh to have that. Uh but speaking to the setup, the system set up to fail, I think that all of these things that they threw into place to combat the Liv situation are now coming home to roost. You have all of these points that go to the signature events. And look at what Rory did. that he won one signature event and one major and won enough points throughout the season that he’s able to skip the first event of the playoffs with only three events now, not four. He’s able to skip the first event and not feel like that he doesn’t have a chance of winning the FedEx Cup. And it’s because they stacked all of these events with no cut with double points. So now, you know, if all you have to do is be in the right place at the right time and your season is set. Yeah, they they got to make a way because again, I hate the fact that Rory’s not here. Like it really annoys me that Rory’s not playing. Like when he skips a signature event, whatever. It doesn’t bother me so much. He’s not here in the playoffs and and it kind of annoys me. I’m a huge Rory guy. I was very happy that Rory got his career grand slam and I know he’s going through personal stuff. There’s so much going on there, but it pisses me off that he’s not here at the start of the playoffs. This is not football. You don’t earn a by-week or whatnot. There’s got to be some kind of penalty there that you know or or even penalties anyhow that you know it’s top 70 top 50 getting to all signature events and getting to the BMW top 30 tour champion. The amount of money that is on the line the final week for the tour championship. It’s like a billion dollars going to like 30 guys. There’s got to be some penalty mixed in there. Whether it’s missed cut, lost points, whatever it may be. When you take weeks off, you lose points, whatever it may be. to to encourage these golfers to play more. And and it does annoy me that Rory’s not here. And you know, it’s going to be something that really irks me a lot this week. Well, it’s amazing. You’re gonna hear it so much. You’re going to hear it repeated by, you know, well, and Rory decided to miss this. And, you know, I feel like it’s going to fit into the narrative of a lot of people of how his lack of caring, you know, and and is it good for the game, is it bad for the game, you know, does he care? All that’s going to fit into that narrative of why, you know, people really don’t like like him. Yep. Go ahead, Rashad. Well, I was just going to say, you know, the whole point the whole point of this FedEx Cup to begin with was to make it more like the team sports. You know, you have a dwindling down situation to to a finite champion. But if let’s say let’s say the Eagles, right? You guys were the two seed in the playoffs last year, right? Okay. So, what if you just decided to not play Green Bay in the first round of the playoffs? Yeah. You know, like you just get you get eliminated. You’re done. So you you it’s the system is, you know, they did it halfway. You know, I liken it to the age limit rule in the NBA. It’s like, well, one, what does one year really solve? Nothing. You know, you’re still going to have kids coming out at 18 as opposed to, you know, making it like the other sports where it’s three years or your 21st birthday, whatever. you know, the fact that you you could still have this system in place and I mean, we’ve been doing this since what, 2007, and it’s still basically the same structure and they haven’t fixed it. They really haven’t done anything to fix it and it hasn’t become become any more compelling. So, you know, what are we what are we doing with this? I don’t understand why they haven’t fixed this. You know, the system is I want to get to one of your ideas, Rashad, in a second that you said before the show, but I’m sitting here and I’m looking at the FedEx Cup standings, like the top 10, top 12 right now. And I’m sitting here and I see Russell Henley with the fourth most FedEx Cup. And this is not a knock on Russell Henley, but Russell Henley played the second fewest amount of events out of anybody in the top 70. And he’s fourth on the list. He’s got one win. He’s got a couple top fives in big events, but really not much else. There was no penalty for him taking a light load this year, and he’s sitting there at four. He could coast. He could co He is coasting. I mean, I I think I saw nobody nobody out in the top 30 has ever fallen out of the top 50, basically. So, you know, I don’t think anybody in the top 30 even missed the top. Anybody ever fall out of the top 30? May maybe one or two. I know only three guys have ever bumped from the top top 70 into the top 50, you know, this week. So, like there’s not enough penalty mixed in there and that and that really does annoy me a little bit throughout the whole season. Russell Henley should not be the fourth highest guy in the FedEx Cup standings if the point system was done right. All right. So the points Oh, go ahead. Should the points rewarded like the points given for whatever and everything for signature events, full field, majors. Do you think they should switch those up and how much is awarded? Like I almost feel like a major should be a thousand and a signature should be half of that and then you go half of that for a full field and you know really put 50 more points for a major over a signature for when it comes to FedEx points wise is it’s like that’s all for winning you know prestige golf you know trophies and and awards. So, I I think the point distri uh distributation should uh should change. Rashad, before the show, you mentioned an idea for the playoffs for the championship. And I want you to explain it because I thought it was very intriguing, honestly. Well, I think that, you know, a lot of people, including myself, have said that, you know, make the ma make the match play the the final event. Make the tour championship a match play. And obviously, the the biggest pitfall of that is it’s terrible for TV, right? Because you get to the bottom, you get to the last two, you have two guys on the golf course. There’s a lot of dead air, there’s a lot of ads, there’s a lot of, you know, awkward talking walks, you know, all that sort of thing. And there’s only so much of that you can really do. But you have to kind of create a TV event around that some kind of way. Create other games, create other things, you know, take some some cues from the match, you know, that they’ve done so many of these. Um but but the idea is the reason why the the match the match play situation would wouldn’t work in today’s market is because again golf is played Thursday through Sunday. Well, you don’t want to get into football season. So play it Sunday through Wednesday like they do the corn ferry events at the beginning of the season. Uh take a page from TGL. TGL did much better than a lot of us thought it would. And one of the reasons why is because it was on a Tuesday night where there was nothing on but mid- major college basketball. So, if you’re not a a degenerate gambler or a fan of a school playing on TV and you are a golf fan, you were going to tune into it and have at least this background noise while you, you know, while you were doing other things. This could be just like that. You’re going to get the casual fans. You’re going to get the die hard fans. There’s nothing going on on a Wednesday night in the middle of football season. Why not just play it then? You know, you could you could solve the dead air thing that you think pretty easy because obviously the championship round would be one versus two for the title. You can have every group. You could have everybody all 30 people play on that last round. You know, you’re battling for 29 30th. You could just make sure the price like the dollar awarded for like I think it’s like something like 21 through 30 all make the same amount of money in the in the tour championship. You can have every place have a different amount of money. So, you’re constantly playing for, you know, more money no matter what. So, you could you could solve that. And I I I think it’s a good idea. You you guys know I’m I’m a huge fan of WGC match play. when that got eliminated over the Zor Classic, it annoyed the hell out of me. It’s always fun in March Madness season to have the the golf version of the March Madness. And I and I think it would work. And then maybe you can work in some by-weeks, you know? I mean, you could you could make Rory have to play this week and next week to earn his bye-week or if he skips, you lose your by like you lose your spots in that standings there, you know, based off of just how you you qualify for the FedEx St. Dude, and then from then on almost like restart the points almost restart them for your rankings for the tour championship almost to an extent. You could go ahead, Steve. No, go ahead. I I was going to say you could what you could do is you could have the first two events and have the groups in pods and have stroke play pods instead of match play pods. That way they have to play 72 holes. They have to post a score each day and if you win your pod or whatever, then you move on to the second and then you do it again. That way you have the players in eight player pods or four player pods or whatever kind of kind of like the World Cup, right? Yeah. Kind of or Yeah. And set it up like the fantasy world championships on DraftKings where the top score makes it to the next round and then you you know and you do it that way and then you get to the final uh 32 or you could cut it to 20 or whatever. I mean, you could you could theoretically give the top four players buys and do it with 12 or, you know, and then just play it off from there over three days and just and then find the winner and the winner takes home the you know $170 million or whatever to up to now. Dude, what we did something wrong in life that we’re not playing for hundred billion dollars over the next I mean these guys like just think about the money that they are playing for over the next couple weeks. It it it just kind of when I think of that prize money, it just just blows my mind. For for a sport that is struggling to do things right, there is so much money on the line over the next couple of weeks. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Oh, yeah. All right. So, we we got the St. Jude Championship this week down at TPC Southwinds in Memphis, Tennessee. Uh it’s been there for a little while now. Obviously, like I said, no Rory, so there’s 69 golfers. Uh top 50 make it to the BMW. And of course, you get into all signature events if you’re not already qualified. Uh Rashad, what do we know about TPC Southwind? Uh what are you looking for golfer-wise uh this week? So, quick quick story. So, this was actually one of the first PJ Tour events I ever went to. I grew up in Starkle, Mississippi, hometown of Philly, great AJ Brown. Uh I would I wish I knew I would have rocked an AJ Brown shirt for you. I uh So, yeah, I went to this tournament 1995. uh signed AJ Brown photo right there, you know. Oh, yeah. Yep. Yep. He We won’t talk about his college choices, but he he but he went but he grew up in a good town. Uh but uh but no, he uh so this this event’s near to my heart. I loved it when it was in June. Um you know, and I and I love that it’s it’s now an important event because like I said, it’s an event that’s that I tied to my childhood. Uh this golf course plays a lot like a Florida golf course which is interesting because uh you know and you and you’ll start to see that when you look at the history of the event even before obviously it’s gone through the course has gone through several renovations. Uh but but you look at it before I mean I remember Daniel Burgerer won backtoback at this tournament. Uh had some good success here. Um you look at guys that you know the crossover for me is is Honda or Cognizant. you know, it plays a lot like PGA National for a course that’s not near the water, obviously, and it doesn’t get the wind effect, but a lot of uh strategically placed hazards. Um, driving accuracy is a big deal here. Uh, probably one of the biggest deals here. So, you’re going to look, I’m looking for guys that can place it in the fairway because, you know, this is one of those courses where, you know, you can make a double bogey, a stab of a finger. Um, so, so we want to we want to get the guys that are going to avoid those. Oh, ju on 18 alone, half the field will probably make double bogey once this week. Uh Stephen, what do you got to add to what uh Rashad said there? And I think with those renovations, all 18 greens were resurfaced and and redone. Um, so you know, course history for the most part might not be something that could deter you one way or or not when it comes to guys who are playing for the first time versus guys who golfers who have tons of experience here. Um, there’s some water on hold. I mean, there’s tons of hazards, all sorts of hazards all throughout. It’s a We may not like the setup for the playoffs, but this is definitely a great first course for the playoffs for sure for um what golfers are going to be, you know, challenged with. Huge from 125 to 175 um on approach. And uh the par fives, there’s only two of them. And that’s where golfers are going to get their, you know, their birdies from or eagles. So, if you could take advantage of those um two par fives uh all four days, you’re you’re uh you’re going to find success here. I think negative I think under 16 16 under wins this. You know, you talk about the greens and that’s something that’s interesting to me because something I’ve been studying like we’ve seen average or below average putters win at this event. Hideki last year, you know, isn’t the worst putter, but he’s not the greatest putter. He had a good spike week. They’re smaller greens. But I wonder how much that’ll matter this week considering the green structures have all been redone. Uh again, I think that even plays into it where as long as you could be a spike putter for one weekend, you can make a run at this title this week, right? Yeah. And I think that actually it actually favors a guy like Scotty Sheffller because, you know, we always talk about the biggest knock on him is his putting, but now we get on these greens that really nobody’s familiar with. I mean, this is almost like playing a major at a at a course that they don’t really go to uh because everybody’s kind of going in blind uh to to some degree. Obviously, you know, the court there’s not going to be a ton of of differences, but there’s going to be enough that it’s going to these guys are really going to have to fight for it. Um and it so then you’re you’re going to look at it may it’s either going to really elevate the really good putters or it’s going to bring all of everybody into the middle. So, it’ll be interesting to see how that how that affects it. On a side note, we always talk about how Scotty Sheffller is not a good putter. I just double checked. He’s only lost strokes putting this year twice. And in those events, he finished 11th and fourth place. So, let let let’s put Scotty’s Scotty’s putting is better than 98% of the people in the world. It’s just the weakest part of his game. Um standards are up here. His standards are are a little higher than everybody else. Um, not now not because of that Scotty thing. I kind of lost my trade unfortunately. Completely lost it. Um, but anyway, it’s it’s I love what you guys say about the course and I think it’s a tough course and I think it’s going to be interesting. I did hit, you know, Hideki last year, so we’re going to try to go back to back with our thought process uh this week. Um, tried to go back to back last week. It didn’t work. So, let’s take a look at it. We’ve got the top four golfers in the field this week. Scotty Sheffller, Xander Schoffley, Justin Thomas, Russell Henley. I’ve already bashed Russell Henley once. Scotty Sheffller top guy at 13K on the DraftKings board and I think this week the the question is always to play Scotty Sheffler or not to play to bet him to not bet him. He’s obviously the favorite to win, but I think his price in this field, some people are saying it should be higher, but I tried to build a Scotty Sheffller lineup before this show went live. And I had a lot of trouble building a lineup of guys I trust that are going to hit fairways that are going to be great tea green that are good scramblers because of the small green complexes and stuff like that. Guys that are, you know, good at that proximity, like all the things you need. It’s very tough to build a lineup with Scotty Sheffller this week because in that low 6K range, how much confidence do you have? I know these guys are going to play four full rounds each, but you really want to build lineups with with a Brian Campbell, with a Thomas Dietri, a Bud Collie, Tony Fenel, who’s had a go I don’t even know how Tony Feno is in this field without bad season he’s had. That’s there there’s what’s wrong with this playoff structure. So, we’ll start with you Rashad. What do you do with Scotty Sheffler this week? Uh, so an interesting fact um about Scotty Sheffller is he this was the sight of his last missed cut. Uh the last year that it was a full field tournament, he missed the cut in 2022. Um and so he’s got a he’s got a nice little little streak going since then, obviously. Now obviously he finished fourth here last year. U but if you look at his results at this tournament previously, um it’s very middling results. So I’m comfortable fading him. The last time I said that was the Open Championship. And how did that work out? Well, so uh you know I I’m comfortable you I think at this day and age if you’re willing to look for reasons to not play him then don’t play him. Um obviously do that at your own risk. He won nine times last year and he’s won what five times this year. Um you know he’s only I noticed that his ownership has kind of come down. I don’t know if it’s just because they’re trying because it’s so trendy to not play him. Um, I think we’re almost gonna get to the point where you’re gonna play him uh to be the pivot because of this price, but I I am surprised that his price is lower. I I thought he they would have kept him in the in the 14k range. Right now on Fantasy National, his calculated ownership percentage is down to 25.7%. But his actual usage in lineup generators is at 38.2%. So, there’s a chance he’s going to be in that 30%. I’m going to I’m going to call it in the middle there and say he’s going to be right around 30%. Uh, you know, yeah, I like you said, you can make a case both ways. Stephen, what are you going to do with Scotty? Um, I’m I’m probably going to end up fading him just because you’re going to get so you’re going to be so much more comfortable with your six for six lineups versus uh you’re going to have Scotty, you’re going to have a low 8K guy and then a whole bunch of like uncertainty for where you’re going to be like where are they at in the leaderboard for the next, you know, four days. And I think he’s at I think Scotty’s at 13K simply because DraftKings knows that people are going to be able to defend their choice of playing him by well I got four rounds with Campbell and you know I got four rounds with you know Harmon or you know whoever. Um but here’s an example. So I did save one build lineup with Scotty and Scotty 13k. I put Ben Griffin at 8100, JJ Spawn and Bobby Mack at 77. Then I had a dip into Nick Taylor and Nico Verra at the 69 and 65. I mean, it’s not an awful lineup, don’t get me wrong, but that’s the best. I mean, I literally stared at the screen for 15 minutes today trying to find a combination that worked and that was the best. I didn’t want to go more than two guys in the 6K and but I still had a dip to Nico at 6,500 to make this work. So, I mean, there’s a lot of riskreward in doing that. And yes, a lot of those guys I paired with him are guys that are going to be lowowned guys this week, but you know, there’s there’s a there’s there’s I think there’s too much riskreward there. You could have that same exact lineup with so many people because they’re playing Scotty though because they have the same mindset of you as dang, I just, you know, I can’t go with anybody else and Griffin sounds great. Spawn sounds great. And then before you know it, you got the same lineup as how many people in a GPP or something like that, you know? It’s tough. It’s tough. Stephen, what about the rest of this range? Xander, JT, Henley. Do you like any of those guys? I think this is a Xander moment. Um, he’s fully back from injury. You know, you can’t use that excuse anymore. He’s got enough uh starts under his belt. He’s got back-to-back top 10s. Um, so yeah, I I I think he is really the when it comes to Scotty and actually winning in this range, I think he’s he’s the guy who’s going to give Scotty a run for his money. I absolutely slam dunk agree with you on that. Go ahead, Rashad. No, I’m I’m It’s It’s a across the board. I actually like all four of the players over 10K because of, you know, they are the type they are the prototype of the type of players that you would want to play this golf course. great tea green, solid with the putter, you know, they’re winners. Um, you know, and and that’s what you need to win this event. And I’m actually, you know, it’s funny when you when you look at the ownership for the first time and you think you’re being clever and then you see Russell Henley’s 19.4% and you’re like, a man. Um, no, I I Yeah, I’ve got a bet on X. I, you know, I’m a I’m a I’m a Xander Schoffley truther. Uh, I’m, you know, I’m a big Justin Thomas fan as well. Obviously, you can’t deny Scotty’s talent and what he’s done over the last few years. So, you know, I I don’t think there’s a I don’t think there’s a wrong direction to go with this group. I could see all four of these guys finishing in the top five. So, so I’ve made three lineups so far. I did put Scotty in one. I It’s not It’s not a locked in lineup because I’m still tinkering with it, but I have locked in one Xander lineup out of the other three so far because I think Xander’s going to win it. I don’t think I’ll play play Henley in the 9K range. I think it’s interesting because so far the top tipped golfer I believe is in the 9K range on bets and that’s Victor Havlin. And Victor Havlin has had an up and down year. Terrible short game, terrible putter, got a little bit better this year, not better compared to this field. But everybody’s all in on Victor, including me. I placed a bet on Victor as well because I’m not going to miss out on that. You know what I mean? If everybody’s in on him, I’m going to be on in on him, too. But I don’t know if he’s necessarily the perfect DFS play unless you want to start your lineup at that point at 9300 where then you could get two 8K guys mixed in. So Rashad, thoughts on the 9K range, but more importantly, why is Victor a good bet to be the most tipped guy this week? Because when he’s on, he’s really on. And it’s because it’s a Teta Green golf course. Um, Victor is either going to be solid from Ted Green and and he when we all know he can putt or he’s going to be missing Greens and he’s going to be completely out of the tournament. And I think that because of that, uh, in my eyes, he’s going to be a very good bet. He’s a bet. I’ve already bet him. Um, but I probably won’t play him on DraftKings at that high ownership just because of the volatility of, you know, you just don’t know what you’re getting with him. Now, I will add add on that though because there’s a guaranteed of four rounds. You got to think of guys. What golfers have the best chance to shoot a 62 or a 63? And I would kind of put Victor like you know you’re going to get four great rounds out of Scotty, but everybody else you got to find the golfers that are going to have those spike rounds. And Victor Havlin’s a guy on Friday or Saturday that can go out and shoot a 63 no problem and score you. Like I don’t have it in my model, but I have on a side tab draft king points scored and and where they rank in that range because that’s a very important thing in a no cut event in my opinion. Stephen, where you at in this 9K range? Yeah, I’m to chime in on Havlin. I just he is gotten T20 or better four out of his last five trips here. Right. So, he is that golfer that we talked about that you’re looking for. Obviously, he has all the skills here to win when he’s locked in and and and and hitting, but he is that golfer that could go get you, like you said, a 62 in a round, maybe even two, but then for whatever reason on Sunday, you know, be in be in the second to last group or the final pairing and then go finish T15, T16. And it’s like, well, he still fits the narrative of this T, you know, T20 or better. And so that’s what you get with him. But for the same exact reasons that I like Havlin, I also like Oberg for those same reasons. And I just think he’s I feel like if he just avoids that one goddamn round where he round that one stretches every week. He avoids that. And I mean he’s right up there. He he could easily been where Fleetwood is, you know, score or price-wise. You know, I think if Rory’s here, Henley’s not even ranked in the 10K. He’s probably the first 9K guy. The first name I wrote down before Xander, even when I did my course research, didn’t look at prices or odds. The first name I wrote down to check the odds of were Leville Goberg. I didn’t land on a bet with him because I didn’t like 28 to1. I, you know, he’s been inconsistent. and he’s got those three whole stretches, but I think you could do so much worse and have Oberg invested in this week because he’s also, you know, where where’s his ownership? There it is. He’s at like 9% ownership in a limited 70 or 69 man field. Having somebody at 9% ownership of his skill level, that’s that’s insane. Um it’s it’s actually interesting. I wrote down four notables for this tournament and three of them are these nine kayak golfers. One of them was Holland who we just talked about. The other was um is Kantlay, you know, three three finishes since this has been a playoff event, you know, T-57 and then a T2 and a T12, you know, uh and then the other one that I was actually really surprised at his ownership was Colin Morawa, who has a T5, a T13, and a T-22 here. You know, those are good numbers for a playoff event. And I feel like if you were going to tailor made a Colin Morawa golf course, I feel like this is what it would look like. I think he’s got I think he’s got his 17th Caddy in the last 14 weeks, though. I did see somebody announce who his caddy’s going to be this weekend. It’s another new one. Something’s going on up here with Korala. It’s not something in his swing wheel for his all it’s it’s it’s all in his mind. So if I’m going to pick a lowown guy, it’s going to be Oberg or it’s going to be Canley, not Kamor Kawa just because there’s something mentally going on. Karawa is going to be that golfer next year that I think probably drops off a little bit more uh because there’s there’s talent there. Don’t get me wrong. Go ahead. What’s What’s I was gonna say the last time that we were really that that vehement that he was a headcase on a Tuesday, he won the open championship. So true. Anybody can spike, you know. So, yeah. And and in a no cut event, there’s no pressure to miss the cut. So, you can have that spike round. So, I love that. Um I kind of like Fitzpatrick a little bit. I don’t love Fitzpatrick’s ownership at 20% or 19%. Uh, but Matthew Fitzpatrick’s been playing really good golf the last See, the thing is when in this event, when we get to the playoffs, I normally base on my research over the last 36 rounds. When I get to the playoffs, I trim that down. Last 12 to 24 rounds, I’m looking for the hottest golfers. And Fitzpatrick is a hot golfer right now. Um, so he’s kind of someone that I’ll probably put a little touch of an investment in. Um, I did bet him because I did like his number. Um, but, uh, we’ll see about that. So, 8K range. Uh Sam Burns at the top of it, defending champion Hideki’s here. You got some interesting names here. You got the straightest hitter in the in the world and Aaron Ry, which you need to be. And of course in this range, we got to give a shout out to him. Last week’s winner at the Windom Championship. Finally, finally Cam Young, scammer finally got a W. And I have bet Cam Young over the last couple years probably 750 times. And of course, last week I didn’t bet Cam Young. Uh, so Rashad, uh, Cam Young and the rest of the AK Rage, what are your thoughts? Uh, I actually like Cam Young and for one reason and one reason only, since this became a playoff event, uh, winners of the Windom Championship, Tom Kim finished 13th, obviously Lucas Glover went back to back and then Aaron Ry finished 16th last year. So, uh, good form is a good is a good way to come into this event and the way he ball struck last year, I mean, or last week and and the confidence that he’s playing with right now. I mean, he we we all knew he was a top talent. So, if he’s now believing in himself, I think this is a great uh a great spot for him to continue that run. Yeah. I mean, do you think of Cam Young as a good put when you when you hear the name Cam Young, do you think of him as a great putter? No. No. But because if you go by a smaller amount of rounds like I am, he’s second in the field in putting right now. And this is an elite deep field. So, I love the idea. Cam Young. Yeah. Yeah. He had been trending upwards on this going into this event, too. Interesting. Yeah. Um, so where where you at, Stephen, in this range? Well, just to add to the Cam Young stuff, I saw this graphic from u I think it was a New York Times. He 94 events played, 23 of them have been top 10s, 13 top fives, seven runner runner-ups, six top 10s in majors, and he was the 2022 Rookie of the Year. And I think because of how what the expectations were of him for how good he was, I think that’s why we put him up here. But I mean, [ __ ] he’s done what Fleetwood hasn’t. Like, not to throw shade or anything, but he’s totally throwing shade at Fleetwood. I it it realistically it’s why he’s been really good. you know, when you say he’s second on tour in putting right now or in this field. Yeah. I mean, when you hear those numbers and when I saw that, I was like, damn, I I I can believe it. Um, that is you’re throwing so much shade at Tommy Fleetwood, man. And and I’m absolutely in love with the the the shade he throws away. But me so many times. He that man. So, uh, Harris English, I just think in these in these fields, I can see why people are on him. He’s elevated his game in these fields. Um he was been T12 or better in three of the four majors, you know. So I I just he finds his way to the top of the leaderboard. I argue that this is going to be a 16 17 under with Harris English because to me he doesn’t strike me as a guy that can go that low. Um he’s a guy that wins the grinder events or contends in the 10 under 11 under type events. 17 seems a little bit of a stretch for me for him to get to. Yeah, that could be a reason why you got me off of him. But Aaron Ry, if he goes out there and does what he does like got me, let’s talk about Aaron Ry then. Uh Rashad, what else you looking at in this range other than Cam Young? Another one that struck out to me that his ownership is lower than I thought it would be is Seth Straa. And you know, going back to your point of winning a 16 to 17 under type of event. I mean, Sean has kind of proven that he can win any type of event. I mean, he’s won the John Deere. He’s won an elevated tournament. He’s won uh the Honda the Honda Cognizant. I mean, he’s won he’s won and he has, you know, what I would call half a win at this at this course when he lost in the playoff to Wills Alatus a few years ago and won us all some money. So, I I think that um you know, I I’m surprised that a lot of people aren’t on him. Maybe it’s just because he’s kind of had some middle uh performances since since the win at the Truist, but I mean I I would love Sepa at this golf course. In fact, I obviously have him in one and done. Oh, there you go. I like that. It’s actually he’s not available for me at one and done. So, but that that’s a really good one and done this week. I I love this AK range and I’m really struggling. Like I like Sam Burns this week. I like Hideki as a defending champion. Cory Connor is healthy. I kind of like Ben Griffin, too. I know Ben Griffin’s been a little bit whatever, but this is one of his last chances to prove he belongs on the RDER Cup. I for some reason it means everything to everybody to be on the RDER Cup, but for some reason I kind of feel like out of the guys that are on the fence about whether they’ll make the team, it means the most to Ben Griffin to make that team out of all those fringe guys. And I think a great showing this week kind of puts Ben Griffin over the top there. Um, and I think I think he has it. I mean I mean people forget I mean I know he’s played a lot of golf this year but Ben Griffin’s won twice this year. I mean he is in the top 10 of the FedEx Cup standings for a reason. He maybe burned himself out a little bit in the middle of the season, but I think he’s back on par. And and I kind of I kind of like the Ben Griffin idea this week a little bit. And this is Scotty. Yeah, this event is won twice too. So, uh, Ben Griffin with two wins, that that puts him in in company with some guys that that have performed well at this event. Uh, regardless of winning the season, they’ve won guys that have won two tournaments, including the ghost of Nick Dunlap last year finished in the top five. So, I mean, it’s, you know, I think Ben Griffin’s a good player and apparently a lot of other people do, too, because he’s his ownership is getting up there. Yeah, it is starting to creep up. Uh, 7K is where you can get a little creative with the ownership. Obviously, Daniel Berg’s a two-time winner here. before it was, you know, the playoff event. Uh Daniel Ber’s had a had a hot start this year. He kind of cooled off a little bit, but I think there’s a lot of uh interesting plays here um in this range. Stephen, we’ll start with you. What do you what do you like in this range and why? Uh JJ Spawn. Um T Green has it all. Didn’t really fall off too much after winning the um the US Open. He’s gone toe-to-toe with Rory. So, you know, the these sort of fields aren’t going to scare him. The moment isn’t going to scare him, isn’t going to deter him. And I think for a guy like JJ, I feel like money is a like a good drive for him. He seems like a guy who’s like, I like to spend money and like have like have fun, you know, sort of deal. So, um he’s got the mental, you know, for this, you know, these three weeks coming up. Um, and then Chris Kirk. I just he’s he’s he has probably I I just feel like he has so much more than really anybody from the 8K range down to play for where he’s sitting for to be able to play next week. Um, playing for, you know, all the different, you know, signature events and everything like that next year to be able to play all four majors. Um, and he’s playing the best golf of of his season when it matters. You know what they say going into the playoffs. You know, the team who’s the hottest go win it. So, can you imagine Chris Kirk and and Scotty Sheffler on what two weeks going at it in the final pair just because he’s golfer right now? Here’s here’s the FedEx Cup standings from 40th through through the back end 70. Chris Kirk sits at 61. So, he’s got to get up what 11 12 spots there. Um, it’s doable. It’s not likely. Last year, I did write down there were three guys that moved into the top 50 last year uh in in the St. Jude. So, Chris Kirk at 50 or 61. It’s a long shot, but it’s not a coming out. A is definitely coming out of the top 50. Um, I would think Minu Lee, Ash. If you’re gonna pick three guys in that 40 to 50 range, it would be Ashe, it would be Minw. And I I don’t know who to pick for my third in that range. Maybe maybe pot gear like that. This course might be tough for him. Yeah, I was going to say him, too. I think Yeah, Bombers’s course where he could spread it and and and accuracy wasn’t so much an issue. I would I would say Biter, Park Eater, however you pronounce it, would be good. But I think I don’t I I pick it up as I go. What do you guys think about Harry Hall in this range? Top of the 7K range. Um he’s not he has no chance at winning this event in my opinion, but if you want a guy that’s going to putt well and score you a lot of points for DraftKings, Harry Hall the last 24 rounds is the best putter in this field and he’s the fourth best DraftKings point scorer in this range. I know he sprays the ball occasionally off the tea, which can be a problem. He’s he’s prone to make you a couple double bogeies this week, but he’s got just as good of a chance as anybody else to shoot one round at 63, you know what I mean, and score enough points to to help you win an event this week. Yeah. You know, Harry Hall for me is kind of that one guy. I played him a ton at the beginning of the season, but he always seems like that that one guy that everybody talks about every week and then never you never really you you see him or he he kind of back doors a good finish and then that’s enough momentum for guys to talk about him the next week. But I I mean I really haven’t I mean admittedly I haven’t watched as much golf this year as I have in previous years. But I I just don’t I feel like the the the results have not matched the hype with Harry Hall this year. So I I won’t be on him. Uh but I do like the burger. Um, you know, the guy I’m actually going to is Bobby Mack and and I think that if if Bobby Mack cares and he’s striking it, he’s as good as anybody in any range. And you you were talking about somebody staring down Rory Mroy as JJ Spawn staring down Roy Moy. Well, you know, Bobby Mack can do it, too. And and and I think that uh you know, he’s he’s as good a play as any uh in this range. My second biggest dollar bet outside of Xander this week is Bobby Mack. Again, I get everything you say about Harry Hall, but at 7%. All you need is Harry Hall to finish in the the top 30 this week. It won’t it won’t advance him far. I mean, he’ll probably make the top 50 with that, but you know, we’re we’re we’re talking two different things here. I think Harry Hall is still a safe bet to to play. Not a lot, a sprinkle, but man, Bobby Mack, I I could see Bobby Mack absolutely coming out this weekend, winning this event. Absolutely. All right. 6K range. Yeah, there’s you. If you want to play Scotty, you got to dip into the 6K range. There are one, two, three. I think I starred three names in the 6K range. Nick Taylor, who surprisingly models out really well this week. Ameliano Grill, Steven’s favorite golfer in the world. Enoch Verra, who’s a hot golfer recently. Um, so, uh, Stephen, we’ll start with you. Are you in on your best friend, Ameliano Gillo? And has he sent you tickets to any events yet? He has not sent me anything yet. I’m still I’m still waiting for those. Um, he fell off last I last week I really thought was the week he was going to, you know, break through and and he just fell off. He he he didn’t play well. Um, but yeah, he he’s one of the guys though that you can rely on. I I I feel like in the 6K range, he’s just been consistent for the most part of the season. Same with Nick Taylor. Um but then I also like Justin Rose. Yes, I think he was really good across the pond. Um especially after coming off of back-to-back miscuts at um the US Open and Canadian Open. Um but his putter, the putter here, I think could be his best friend. And you want to talk about guys who can spike and just get consistent with it. And when he’s feeling it, he’s feeling it. And I just feel like he he can save a lot. He might be in the uh what is it called? The uh the um ultimate lineup for uh let me tell you. Yeah, I think if you’re going to have Scotty Yeah. I mean, if you think about Nick Taylor who’s getting a lot of hype this week, Nick Taylor’s projected at about 17% ownership, which is sick. Same exact price Justin Rose 4.6%. What would you rather, a 17% Nick Taylor or a 4% Justin Rose? I mean, that’s that’s something right there. I would play a 13% Justin Rose over a 4% Nick Taylor. I mean, if you looked at Justin Rose’s stats and didn’t know who it was for this year, you would think that golfer is way too good to be 6,900 in this tournament. Yeah, Justin Rose has had I mean, I know, you know, it’s it’s peaks and valleys, but there’s been a lot of peaks in this season for Justin Rose. And I I he was one of the first names I started, and I’m actually Hold on. You know what? I’m going to defend Nick Taylor for a second because he does have a win this year. He’s got 11 top 25s. He’s a top 15 approach player, top 25 in accuracy, greens and regulations. Best finish here. He finished 24th year a couple years ago. So, let let’s not crush Nick Taylor. Nick Taylor I think Nick Taylor’s a great play. I just think Nick Taylor was 4%. I’d have Nick Taylor in every goddamn lineup if he was 4%. I I don’t think Nick Taylor’s a bad play. I just think that’s how much I think Justin Rose is a good play. And and I no I actually think Nick Taylor is a really good play as well. I think there’s a lot of great play. There’s a lot of players that I was surprised that were so low so low price here and and especially if you’re going to go with the with the Honda comp. I mean you’ve got Sunj who obviously has been, you know, kind of in the Tony Feno discussion. Uh but Minu Lee at 6,800. Uh Gerard at, you know, at 67. He’s he’s done well. He’s a Florida guy. Um, and then you’ve got another two-time winner down here at Ryan Fox who’s kind of, you know, been, you know, in the there’s a two-time winner in Brian Campbell. Let’s not forget about Brian Campbell. And again, this is a this is not a long golf course. So, it is a golf course that he could be competitive at if he brings his ball striking. So, that’s, you know, that’s we we we don’t want to we don’t want to, you know, we talk about Tony Fen out for a second, like he’s completely falling off. He’s had a horrible season. But, you know what? Let me tell you something. It’s so funny because I have fallen trapped or fallen into the trap multiple times this year with Max being priced super low or his odds being 110 to one, he’s 6,800, whatever. I am not falling trap to Tony Fen this week at 6,500. I don’t care if he’s 0% owned. There is zero chance that I’m going to t he’s he’s 5 and a half% projection. That’s 5 and a half% of idiots right there trying to get tricky and creative and outthink themselves. Sometimes you just don’t need to out think yourself at this point, right? Yeah, that’s brand value. Yeah, it’s not here%. No, it’s not. It’s not at all. You know, you do also have to take into account with the ownership that it is a 70 or 69 69 man field. So, ownership number 15% guy in a regular field might be 12%, you know, if it was a full-fledged field. But anyway, did we miss before we get into the next round part of the show, any names that we missed, guys? We didn’t really talk about Burns a lot. And Burns, I think, is a really good play this year in the AK range. Um, we we kind of glossed over him a little bit, but he was he was actually my fourth notable. Uh, he’s had some good finishes here. Um, you know, as well. So, and and he’s played really good golf in the second half of the season. Uh, you know, obviously almost winning in Canada, having a good showing at one of the majors. Um, and you know, and so I I I like him. He’s my he was my third biggest bet this week, Sam Burns. So, um, he was he was right there for me. When I wrote down the names I was looking at, I wrote down Havlin or Oberg, Havlin, Xander, and Burns. They were the names I wrote down. I did end up putting more money on Bobby once I finished my m my my my research, but I do love Sam Burns uh this week. Absolutely. All right, real quick before we build lineups and do all the other stuff, guys, I got to be be thing. I know this week is for St. Jude, but also right here on the ST Sports Network, I’m running a fa a fundraiser for Eagles Autism Foundation. Uh guys, it’s obviously the Philadelphia Eagles number one uh charity that they represent and support. I’m selling $5 raffle tickets, okay? No limit to how many you purchase. What we’ve got raffled off here. I’ve got this football autographed by Cooper Deene and Darius Slay. I’ve got this photo signed autographed and framed by AJ Brown. And don’t tell anybody, but I might have a Brandon Graham signed item coming in the mail this week. So, there’s going to be three great raffle prizes. They’re $5 each. What you do is you just Venmo me at Phil Stifle. You can win one of these prizes, however many raffle tickets you want to buy. My goal is a,000 bucks. Raised a little over $300 so far. We’ll the the the raffle will run through the end of the month and on September 4th before the Eagles kickoff against the Cowboys, the NFL season 7:30 going to raffle off all these prizes, guys. So, please consider uh sending a donation uh to the Eagles Autism by Venmoing me and purchasing some raffle tickets, guys. Hey, this is the week for fundraising. St. Jude, Eagles Autism, whatever it is, let’s all consider making something if you can towards one of these great charities. All right, so let’s get into this right here. The one and done and the weekly thing. Rashad’s got a chance to get his name on the board a second time. I’ve got three weeks to catch Jason. Stephen, you have no chance of catching Stephen or Jason or I in this thing. There’s only three weeks left, but you can you can catch in the one and done. If you pick in the one and done, you can catch us. So, uh Rashad, who did you use in your other one and done this week? You said uh I used Straa in one and I think I don’t know. I’m kind of down to the end of the cupboard in the other one. Okay. I can’t remember. I think I think I use Russell Henley because I think I don’t have really left there. I think Russell Henley is going to be a heavily used guy in one and done this week. Let’s do Let’s do the one and done real quick. Stephen, I’ll go first. I’m going I’m using my Xander bullet this week for my one and done. I I I saved it all year long. I’m going Xander this week. That is my one and done this week. Stephen, um, if you want to catch up, you can’t use Xander, just so you know. Yeah, that’s where if you want to stay pace with me, you know, J, just so you know, Jason picked Russell Henley this week for his one and done text for the show. I’ve got Xander. So, you got to get creative if you if you want to catch up here. Yeah, I got to find uh who I can even use here now. Uh, where is this at? Um, all right. Well, that just changed everything. I had a feeling you were gonna pick Xander, too. Do you want me to change? Do you want me to give you a No, no, no. Not at all. Not at all. I’m going to go charity. I can. Dang. I think I got to go with Justin Thomas. I think I might have played him at the I don’t I’m not tracking your one and done. Nope. Nope. Nope. Yep. I’m gonna go JT. I He was saying nope and yep at the same time. I didn’t in there. Y I mean I I have some let me let me tell you I got some good names left here for one and done. I still have Rory available. I still have Henley. I still have Bobby Mack. I still have Victor Havlin. I still have Seraka. All available one and so I Yeah. I I I’ve got a lot of good names. Yeah. JT where am I at here? I’m only ballpark 200 grand behind Jason. I’m making that up this week right there. Um all right. DFS lineups this week. Rashad, you’re going first. Steve, you’re second. I’m going third. Jason’s going to follow along and pick a lineup separately after the show after he sees who we all pick. So, let’s make sure we use up all the good names here. We got to pick a really shitty lineup and everything. So, uh Rashad, you’re first on the board with the first pick tonight. Oh, boy. Um, all right. I will, uh, get your cuss words ready. Uh, we’ll go ahead and take Xander off the board. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m okay with that. I have a strategy today. I I do. So, I’m I’m ready to roll here. I’m going to take uh Henley. All right. I’m going to start with it. I purposely didn’t talk you at the last second there. You brought his name up. I purposely glazed over him because I didn’t want to, you know, I didn’t want you guys know when I was on this guy. So, I’m going to go Sam Burns with my first pick. Um and then I’m going to put my money where my mouth is. Just since you bashed him for Justin Rose, I’m gonna take Nick Taylor with my second Taylor. All right, I’m gonna go uh Rose. I was gonna take you actually. I kind I kind I kind of purposely set you guys up to argue there on on There you go. That was good. Well done. Yeah. Well played. Well played. Um I will go ahead and take last week’s winner, Cameron Young. Like it. I like it. And then with the wrapound, I will take Seraa. Like it. I like it. All right. It’s hard not to like line up when there’s a 70 man or 69 man field. You know, they’re all great golfers here, you know, except for Tony. I’m gonna take uh Give me Harris English. All right. I know exactly what I’m doing here. I’m going Christian Kirk with pick number one. The receiver what? Buddy Mal, Mr. Kirk. And then I am going to go with ah how do I want to hurt myself? Bobby Mack. Bobby Mack with my next pick. That’s right. So Kirk and Mac. I’m gonna go with Spawn. All right. I’m going to go with Nico. 6,500 for one. And then you said you took Kirk already. I’ll take a name that we didn’t talk about just for fun because I feel like I need to be on him at some point. I’m gonna go ahead and take Jordan Sp. Yeah. Hey, don’t count someone like Jordan Speed out in an event like this, you know? He just scares me to play him in anything. And I I want him to do well like personally, but he he scares me too much to play him. He’s one of those guys on my I always get him wrong list. Yeah, same. Yeah. Yep. Uh I’m going to go with Hideki. This is perfect. This is setting up for a great lineup for me. I’m going Victor Havlin and I’m going Matthew Fitzpatrick. I love that lineup. Burns, Taylor, Kirk, Bobby Mack, Havlin, and Fitzpatrick. Damn, I’m a happy man right now. I’m a happy happy man with that lineup right there. I was going to say I don’t think you’ve been happy with many of your lineups. No, I hate when it comes to to to this. I’ve had some good lineups lately. They’ve turned out, but I never like them. But I really like uh I’m going to go with Ben Griffin as my final pick. That was my next pick, too. Uh All right. Well, another name we didn’t really talk about, so we’ll give him a little love on the show because with the Honda comp or Cognizant comp, we’ll go with Shane Lowry in my last spot. He’s on my list to play. He hasn’t made a lineup yet. I’ve got a couple more lines to build. He is on my player pool list, just so you know. I think he’s the kind of guy that could definitely if it’s they’re saying it’s going to be really hot. Is he like there there’s something else to really think about this week. Which golfers are in the best physical condition? Who’s giving themselves a week or two to rest up? Larry hasn’t played much. Has he even played at all since the open? I don’t think so. Yeah, he was great on the Florida swing. Yeah. Yeah. There he he’s a you got to get guys that could play in the heat. So interesting. Um All right. So, uh Rashad, I know you put out your bets right before the show. What bets do you got this week? So, I’m at uh I got Xander at 18, uh Henley at 25, Oland at 28, Striker at 32, Maraua at 35, Canley at 40, and then Kirk at 80. And I usually do eight. So, I’ve got space for one more, but actually after talking and I and I said it in my post that I was going to save one in case uh in case you guys talked to me, the end of them, but there’s actually two guys that I want to play. So, I’m gonna end up with nine this week. I’m looking at Burns and I’m looking at Bobby Mack. I think I’m going to add them to my card and be done. Gotcha. But both Bobby Mack and Burns. I got Burns or Bobby Mack at 55 to one. Uh I think that number’s come down a little bit. I got Burns at 35. I got Fitz at 30. I didn’t get Xander at 18. I got him at 16. And I got Havlin at 30. Um but that’s it. And I also like you, I have room for one more. I’m actually considering I wonder what Cam Young what what’s Cam Young’s number? Do we know what Cam Young’s number? Can Cam Young go? Can the lid come off and he go back to back? He goes 40. Yeah. If if I can get Cam Young in the 40 to 50 to one range, I might consider it. I really might. I look hard at it. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, that that would be my if I’m going to consider I might save my extra bet. Um 40 is 40 to1 right now. I might save my extra bet. Sometimes I like if I can’t decide I like to save it and wait till the first wave goes off and the numbers adjust. Sometimes you can grab somebody at a really great number, especially in a four round no cut event that somebody that has a bad That’s what why I specialize in showdowns. I’m really good at looking at the golfers that have bad first rounds. Then their ownership for the rest of the week drops and then I can I can really dominate showdowns by low on guys. You can also dominate betting markets by doing that as well. Um Stephen, where you at? Um, I have Decki 35 to1, Coblin 35 to1, Harris English 45 to1, Spawn 45 to1, and then I did a uh Scotty win, Xander top five, and Nick Taylor top 20. Uh, that’s 40 to1. Slight pass. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent stuff. Guys, we are here. We are finally wrapping up here this tonight, but we’ve got the playoffs starting here. Uh, this is a great time for golf. Even though we all hate the playoff format, we all love golf at this time of the year because we got three straight weeks of the best of the best of play. Real quick, Rashad, this is your LA I mean maybe I don’t play Sean again this week, but in case it’s the last time over the next couple weeks, who wins the tour championship this year? If it’s not Scotty Sheffler, I you know, I’m gonna say Rory. Okay, because he he plays East Lake really well, so it’s him or Xander. So, him and Xander are always my go-tos when when that tournament gets there because they always like that place. So, I love I love that I don’t have to make two different bets to championship. Who wins the event and who wins with the points and you I get to just go in and bet the event. I love that. Um anyway guys, we’re going to wrap it up. Make sure if you haven’t already, you like, you share, you subscribe. Uh if you have any questions or thoughts on a replay, I check all replay comments. I will respond to them.
