Man of the people pen rousa yeah something like that something like that and that’s how we begin 2024 PGA the year itself what is it it’s only January 3rd is it January 3rd it is January third it’s Wednesday confirmed and we are confirmed here to talk a
Little Sentry uh you guys know the drill if you’ve been with us at stochastic golf season one of our favorite times of the year we’ve got some exciting new products we’ve got exciting new features we got exciting new golfers what didn’t change is I’m still Ben Raz and that’s
Still Eric linquist and we’re back Jordan Klein behind the glass team is here better is with us we’ll talk about them in a little bit you see them on the screen there but I know with you being you’ve been getting some rounds in you’ve been playing some golf you gotta
Be ready to talk some golf it’s about time I mean I have these freaking posters behind me I have the clubs sitting here all the time and all I do is talk NFL and NBA and MLB so uh at this point in time yeah does that you in
Golf uniform yeah it’s me as a look at that golf a golf bobblehead I’ve never noticed that before yeah look you see that and then it says Jazz RZ on the back PGA DFS golf fan yeah come on now I won that when I uh had a
Real good finish in PJ and I I got that sent to me yeah sent it to you in in 2018 that feels good uh anyway the PJ DFS streets have gotten more difficult but we have tools that I think are going to be able to help us combat that this
Season and well this is a golf course that I feel especially familiar with I went there when I was 12 again when I was 18 and then spent my honeymoon at kaaloa there so I was stay next door played the plantation course twice played the other the bay course I
Believe it’s called played that twice so I had four rounds of golf over the course of the week and a half that I was in Hawaii uh so this is a golf course I have some familiarity with always always seems like I have a little bit more
Success when I’ve played a track and kind of know exactly which golfers I’m going to be aiming for and by the way uh it’s pretty clearcut what we’re aiming for this week it’s called birdies no doubt about it I’ve uh I’ve been to Connecticut New Jersey a few times not
Not close to capalo it’s about as close as I got though so I’m not sure what I can bring to the to the I what are the chances we actually get you out here for the Genesis probably minimal but maybe if I win the we’re gonna we’re gonna
Focus on the show because after we take down uh I believe $200,000 up top in these tournaments uh I’ll I’ll go a PRI private plane out there and we’re going to have a good time so let’s talk about it I want to welcome everyone of course to PGA DFS if
You are new welcome if you’re returning welcome we’re going to talk about things if you are new to golf don’t be afraid to ask questions in chat we’re here to help there are no stupid questions about the format the tournament you know we’ve got 59 players a non-cut what you need
You mentioned the birdies it’s all about that but I do want to ask you and let’s get into it about this course because capalo is not a a normal course it seems very forgiving off the te it seems like there’s a lot of rollouts it seems like
You need streaks you’ve got the power fives uh to attack you have less power threes what do you think about when you try to Target guys and let’s start to get into it here yes so the first thing off the bat is that there’s going to be
No wind and if there’s no wind at this golf course you can go out and you can go a bajillion under I’ve shot anywhere from 68 to 7 9 on this golf course let me tell you didn’t shoot 79 with it perfectly calm out there because it’s so
Forgiving you get some holes that the ball basically funnels towards the cup in some spots and uh it’s just it’s just one of those golf courses that’s so enjoyable to play because you you don’t really have any stress off the T you do have to be pretty precise with some
Longer irons on some specific shots with just three par threes out there and then you get the four par fivs that are all getable even you know the 650 that you’re looking at on 18 that’s straight down the pipeline uh everybody’s getting on that into two regardless I mean
There’s just going to be birdies uh upon birdies on this golf course you do want to kind of look at certain wedge players like you get a lot of these uneven lies around the greens you get some really interesting chip shots uh if you get it
Into the Grain in some spots you can have disasters like we saw with Colin morawa last season where if you’re not comfortable with that part of your game it gets a little bit dicey at times you know you saw the John ROM come from behind as a result of that but for the
Most part it is is so forgiving off the te the widest Fairways you’re looking at on tour and it’s a second Shot Golf Course which kind of leads you into the chalk being good chalk this week for a reason yeah it’s definitely one that you’re going to be able to be aggressive
At times but you can get away with some really stupid drives like the rough is not going to punish you you’re gonna have some weird slopes you’re gonna have to be a little creative but I I I do think we’ve seen that and then it’s no
Surprise you know this is where I think you have to almost work backwards when you look at the winners of this tournament yes you’re like oh they they all putted well so you don’t need to necessarily be a good putter you’re going to need to roll it though um
That’s just uh you can’t get there without shooting 25 30 under with no wind uh and I think we see that so for me skill set wise I’m not going crazy I think I’m more interested in in talking about the field before we dive into the tiers just the field itself normally
This is just winners but that’s not it here we’ve got the top 50 of the FedEx Cup everyone except Rory uh when you see this though I always find it interesting because there are some guys in this field that legitimately had one super week and they’re not in form how do you
Kind of balance that out when you’ve got golfers of all different calibers uh in this field hi Nicholas eia not looking at you or anything but uh chameleo vas uh this is not 2005 so uh this version of cameleo a little bit different although hey it’s always good to see him
Have some decent form from time to time but uh what you basically are looking at is less the starings and scrubs normally on these small field events you’re looking at something like the Tour Championship where there’s 30 players and they’re 30 pretty inform players that you’re kind of deciphering through
And and you’re able to go to some of those stars and scrubs type builds I think this week is going to be very concentrated we’re seeing the chalk kind of land into the M the low nines with the likes of a Colin morawa you know ludvig sitting at the upper eights
That’s going to be somebody who’s just going to be a popular click all season long as long as that form continues and then you know you’re you’re looking at a pretty balanced 78k range where more of the the the players that you’re going to land on in your builds come from that
Than you are in this lower 6K range now we get these massive you know 162 player events like we’re we’re going to get guys uh in the bottom of the bottom of the range where one or two are going to show up from time to time in this one
You know EVR isn’t completely out of play Sheamus power uh you know he been out of it for a while and and Luke list I expect to be one of the more popular players in this field for sure so it’s not complete unknowns down there but
It’s still a dicey bottom end of the board similar a little bit more to those 100 those full field events no doubt about it and and that’s again I think what’s going to be very very fascinating uh yeah we can talk we’ll try to get in
Some fanduels well I know it’s a little tough um with these but I will say and it actually leads me into what of course I wanted to talk about you’ve been hanging with us in NFL and NBA watching the guy uh and Greg and all the fellas
Take down some serious TS you know about the Sims you know about the Sims you think I was going to let us have no PGA Sims don’t be stupid obviously we knew we had to have it they’re here they’re live first day uh we have lineup generator we’ll talk about that later in
The show but if you’ve seen the power of these Sim tools and you say you know what I I want to devote that to golf I want to check it out it’s there for you the links are below you’re getting in you’re going to get of course the contest generator the pre-contest Sim
The post contest Sim which is the most underrated part you get to review where those lineups finished how they graded out all that stuff of course the tools the data all that and of course you get in our Discord we have a Sims Channel personal support all of those type of
Things come check it out I I know the golf season is long but that’s what I love about it you have a lot of opportunities and it’s not just the full slates a lot of different ways to get involved you’re a believer I’m a Believer uh I think that you guys would
Like this and I know both of us have had some success with it in football and basketball and now I can’t wait to use it for PGI yeah in PGA it’s going to be especially valuable I think we’re avoiding duplication being able to see the number of dupes as you’re making out
10,000 iterations of your lineups especially for a small field like this again this is going to be so damn valuable longterm and and just being able to see kind of the players within our projections that are going to pop off I mean it’s it’s going to vary depending on which projection Source
You’re going to use but you can upload your own projections as well into this so for me I’m going to be experimenting with that uh when we get down to the the nitty-gritty for some of these bigger Fields I think it’s going to just be extremely valuable for everybody to to
Constantly be referring to that because avoiding duplication this week is going to be primarily what I do because I do think you can still play good chalk uh so long as you’re being smart about it and that’s really what the Sims has taught me in other sports that I’m going
To carry over into PGA can’t wait to see it in action again we’re going to be we’re going to be using those uh to power this show of course but let’s get into it we’ve got of of course again Scotty Sheffer he leads us off havland uh TOUR Championship playing Great Golf and
Xander those are the only three north of 10 um we’ve got a bunch in the nines when you think of kind of how you conceptually look to your builds what do you make of sheffler who is the most expensive player I think about this being like the AT&T Byron Nelson where
He finishes Fifth and it’s still like you didn’t necessarily need him um Scotty Sheffer he’s the best player in the world from a ball striking perspective I don’t think it’s remotely close but I know he’s working with a new putting coach that you know he was over
There in Rome for the Ridder cup trying to figure things out as he was going along but he is still one of the worst Putters amongst this field and on the PGA tour uh it’s a very glaring weakness in an otherwise perfect golf game so Scotty Sheffer 11k for a week like this
I’m very curious to see where he ends up Landing in I think in large field remind uh let me know if you think this is wrong but but like I think in large field he might be more popular than what he is in small field I’d agree
With that okay it feels like in in like three Max and single entry this week I’m going to be more likely to to click on a Scotty Sheffer and as I get into like the $5 into some of the bigger tournaments I can’t imagine that I want
To be overweight to Scotty sheffler even at 21 22% because of how how easy this golf course is and how important it is to roll your rock yeah I I don’t know exactly how soft it’s going to be as we work down we’ll kind of find that in fly there’s
Going to be other priorities for me as well uh I talked about in my on the betting side of things and we’ll talk about OD Chopper in a bit you know Victor havin it’s always been the same story with him and even here he’s said three basically no shows he’s been
Terrible here he lost Strokes around the green he lost Strokes putting in every single one he seems to have addressed that maybe it’s going to regress but when the Tour Championship rolled around he was firing on all cylinders and you know he is uh youve got Rory sandwich
Between them of course who’s not playing so you’ve got havin at the discount Xander can really drive the ball or you could go balanced in the 9k range do you anticipate starting lineups I assume you’re comfortable with having maybe just a 9k as your top top priced player
Oh absolutely this week I mean between kley and and H and you know Windham Clark who I think is going to have just egregiously low ownership for this week especially somebody who’s a bomber this is you know a golf course you can definitely go out and bomb it I like
Fitzpatrick this week I mean there’s going to be there’s going to be some sneaky guys to get to who aren’t necessarily even the bomber pedigrees that are just good in these type of events where if they can wedge it if they’re as good with their irons as what
We think they can be um it’s it’s going to be it’s going to open up the board quite a bit and I’m starting my single entry right now uh has Xander Schley in it that’s a piece of chalk that might get accentuated a little bit but he has
More familiarity on this golf course than the likes of you know a Sheffer doesn’t always come out here havland um you know I I like starting with 10K Xander but I would be just fine starting in the 9ks as well and I’m doing that on a number of these tournament builds yeah
I I agree and again we talk about this tournament it used to be you had less like this is a 60 Manish field so it’s not as ridiculous of like oh we have two guys uh this guy’s gonna be 50% on like I we don’t see that like Xander he’ll be
Popular but he’s not going to be 30 40% no chance um and that gives you a lot of room I want to work down because I’m with you on Fitzpatrick I think that he fits certainly can roll it we saw him I mean the hero is the hero but still uh
Look like he was having a pretty good time out there and he made some mistakes he had 22 birdies there which is impressive am I Am I Wrong do I have to get used to a world where Brian Harmon is just a 9k golfer in a field like this
Or am I missing something what a time to be alive right like What’s Happening Here I I don’t know he played on a home soil RSM classic I I don’t think a Sea Island guy but I know he’s a Georgia guy and didn’t necessarily light it up there
In November Hero World Challenge is what it is I mean this is Brian harman’s kind of an ownership play here at this kind of a number we’re talking about him being 6% for people who aren’t looking at that number TL Hatton is a priority for me at 9200 at his current ownership
I would rather go that direction but I feel like that’s going to be the sentiment everybody has and then nuclear Chu at Colin morawa by far going to be the most popular player should be the most popular player in this field based on how he’s played here that iron
Pedigree so on and so forth working with the new swing coach and things are going well but um Matt Fitzpatrick I like getting to as well it’s just I prefer every player in his range besides Brian Harman but we’re goingon to say that I think a lot to start the season and it’s
Not going to shock me when Brian Harman goes out and you know just plots his way around here and puts up a T10 but do I need to get to Brian Harman here does he have that kind of electric skill set to to put up 25 30 birdies here I’m
Probably probably going to hit pass yeah it’s always that delicate balance because the beautiful thing about Brian Harmon you can have him in 11% of your lineups and you’re covered like you’re gonna have some nice leverage you don’t have to go crazy but I don’t think he’s
He’s probably one of my least preferred options in the nine so also what his skill set is it’s kind of been a weaker part of his golf game of late like he’s somebody who gains off the tea just by being deadly accurate not by being long
And you know that is really not a skill set for this golf course it is super wide super forgiving and even the rough is not difficult out here you can spray it Beyond spray it and still be upright as long as you’re not in the really really long stuff that surrounds it in
Some of these spots again no water on the golf course there’s just not a lot that’s visually intimidating about playing here which is again wyy Resort course it is it is definitely set up for the likes of me who just want to go out and bomb it and then you know hopefully
Make a couple of putts that specific day but uh he has just been weak with the irons over his last 50 rounds 57th amongst this field so that’s part if that part of his skill set isn’t necessarily there this week and hasn’t been for the last what four six months I
Know we’re starting over and turning the calendar but I still feel like I want to be using some type of of recent form data and none of it looks good for Harmon last guy before we move to kind of that middle tier and talk about the eights my man Tommy obviously not a
Prolific winner and that’s putting it mildly but you know we know he can play we saw him in November look pretty good Fleetwood yay nay or indifferent ah he’s another guy that just has a unique skill set for this I mean his around the green game has been
Elite elite elite for the last six months or so over those last 50 tournament rounds the best around the green player which bodess really well for here because we know of him as somebody who can just go out and hit his irons close and I I I would say in on
Fleetwood in my first build I didn’t get as much of him as what I was expecting to our projections are pretty bullish on him as well I mean this is this is a spot where 15% Fleetwood you kind of want to make a stand with somebody in
This range that isn’t Mora cow like moraa I think I’m just going to have a preset number that I get to here and then for me Hatton ended up being the dude that just came flooding in said before the show it felt like I was playing a Florida event with looking at
My lineups with the amount of Eric Cole tiol hat and guys of that nature here but I think Fleetwood is a great ad just somebody that I think uh has a immense amount of upside for sure I I’m going to be over on Fleetwood I like his game uh
You know a pure birdie Fest maybe not the ideal setting but you can say with a lot of these guys he can get it going we’ve seen him go low many a times um that’s not a prerequisite in terms of what we’ve got let’s move to the to the
Eights though because it’s a deep field I bet Jordan spe in this event I think that you know he won in 2016 he’s been terrible here lately but we know speed he’s got the ability he’s not going to be punished off the T Tom Kim though is the first guy in this
Range uh I I always struggle with Tom Kim just very difficult player certainly going to let this the tools do a lot for me here grading out around 15% ownership what do you see when you look at the top of the eights Tom Kim he led the entire
Field in Strokes gaina green last season in this event which is insane because that’s just not how I think about Tom Kim especially in an Elite field obviously there are more people this week so a T5 this week is more valuable than a T5 was last season but still
That’s a really nice finish and you know he’s just a guy that if he gets the magic wand going again at some point in time I mean that’s that has been his superpower has been kind of his Achilles heel of late but when he gets it going
With the rock it just it’s Non-Stop and and so you get these flash in the pan weeks for him with the putter you know obviously if he if I knew he was going to lead this field in Strokes G I would run it back here but as of right now I
Just kind of prefer every single golfer in the range that isn’t him so he’s getting it’s not that I don’t like him it’s just that I don’t like him nearly as much as everybody else priced around him yep it’s always uh an opportunity to cost the casualty of the Slate I’ll be
Arounded it’s just a fascinating range you’ve got Tom Kim you’ve got Jordan spe you’ve got ludvig uh who is just you know is he going to make another leap we finally saw him not finally but he wins at RSM uh we know talents there Ricky and day and fow right below him cam
Young another bomber talk to me about that that kind of next tier because aberer is going to be I think a constant battle for a lot of people he is grading out in the moraa level of ownership just to give you a sneak into the Sims into
The data that’s a big piece of the puzzle if you get it right or wrong so I think ludvig is the hardest guy for me to handicap what I want to do this week with because he’s rightfully pulling ownership I don’t think anybody would disagree but you have to look at the
Field strength of an RSM classic he goes out and wins that he has the second at the Sanderson Farms the t2 it was I know specifically and then he ended up winning at the Omega Masters I mean that was kind of his his big coming out party there internationally ends up putting
His foot down there pre- Rider cup then goes out plays some good golf alongside havind at the Ryder Cup and you know it just ends up being a sensation ran that form into that win at the RSM and here we are we’re going to see him in every
Event is he somebody that’s 8700 who should be priced next to the likes of a Fleetwood next to a feno next to a Sam Burns and I know you don’t like Sam Burns but I do I I just got to say I I’m not positive yet there were some streaky
Signs at the Ryder Cup that I think hin might have uh helped him out with obviously he goes out and he is he’s going to be the the pedigree of the field in those type of events but now you get this top tier and you kind of
Need strong finishes from him right from the get-go I think he’s capable but like at 30% this this is probably the guy that I’m more comfortable getting away with uh or getting away from as opposed to like a mega nuclear piece of chalk in in Colin morawa but I just feel
Exponentially more uh comfortable eating yeah I mean a general principle for me particularly in golf is with ownership when we have a a more unknown person I think it’s better to buy you know you me last couple shows we did during swing season you mentioned someone like
Preston summer hay who we don’t know anything about he was like 1% owned and I said I don’t know anything about him but I understand blindly backing because maybe he’s just amazing this is the opposite of that situation we know this guy is obviously good yes but is he the
Best player on tour he might be in a couple years or is he just a solid PGA Tour player who should never be 30% owned in the you know in a century with 59 guys at this price point I think that’s a pretty reasonable path to take
That he’s not this good right now and you’ve got Ricky day feno as pivots I do like Tony feno quite a bit he’s another guy that played at the hero he looked fine you know it’s Fen now we need the putter cooperate he could torpedo your lineups but he can also outscore his
Placement so can aerg want to be clear it’s not I don’t think this is a time to full F so yeah lud he played out at Texas Tech and uh shout out Kim Kaufman I I grew up with her she’s a little bit younger than I am but she ended up
Playing at Texas Tech we had the same golf coach growing up in sou Fall South Dakota uh shout out to Todd Cole my guy but um ludvig is somebody that works down at the golf course and and works with her husband now uh or Works in association with him at the golf course
Down there in Texas Tech um and I I got to say he’s he’s as solid I mean they just absolutely gush over him as you should he was the number one Amer coming out of college yeah and just he’s got such a great demeanor on a golf course
He has all the the makings of being an elite player but again first time seeing the golf course first time going out there and it’s a birdie Fest where is this skill set amongst these other players that are just far far more proven over a long period of time is he
A better click at this kind of ownership I would argue no again you have to make decisions uh and I think that’s one that I’m willing to look to some of those other players I do kind of like Ricky as well those are those are the two mid AK
Guys they grade out ownership wise at a discount Rick’s another guy very crafty short game should be able to take apart these power fives his game you know he found it uh credit to him love it I don’t have much else in the eights
Though I want to ask you kind of just to round it out for us your boy Sam Burns you’ve got sunj and then decky what a what a fascinating situation with decki it’s hard to know where his game is at so I I think there’s a lot of interest I
Have in the lower eight it sounds like I’m far more interested than you let’s start with feno first off uh stroks gain approach the the the iron showed up last year it was kind of disappointing to see the driver not be elite elite again 17th out of this field sounds great in theory
But that’s barely inside the top third amongst top tier players so that’s brutal and the putter we know it can be spotty from time to time but it feels as though this is a click at 8,400 with you just look at a golf course that you know
Is longer and has par fives that you can dismantle Tony fow feels like a click for that range same thing with Cameron young terrible terrible from time to time with the flat stick but getting on a slower surface perhaps helps out a little bit you get these grainy Bermudas
Like this is not your typical PGA Tour type Ben grass 13 14 on the STM they can’t get them that fast otherwise the wind would blow it off a multiple like on certain windy days in capalo you just wouldn’t be able to keep the ball on the
Green so they can only get so fast and then Sam burns on Bermuda Bermuda burns my dude I’ve been just beating the drum for it Non-Stop and as much as I like him I I think I like sun JM more this week and I’m not generally a sun JM guy
Second Strokes gain around the green really good with the Putter and then off the te I mean he can he’s sneaky good off the tea I I feel like he never really gets his due amongst you know because he’s not like a bomber bomber but fifth Strokes gain off the T the
Irons have been spotty but I expect a big comeback from him here I think this is a Buy Low I think for 8100 sunj AMU you know we were happy to be paying lower nines for throughout most of last season until he fell off the wagon there
Uh if we’re going to get on Bermuda give me sunj here at lower ownership I have no problem with sunjay on any price point uh from DraftKings the FanDuel he’s just sunj is a well-rounded player and I think he does hurt him sometimes in how people view him because it’s like
Oh he’s not the best in the world at anything yeah but he’s not weak in any game like he can do it any different way on any given week so I’m with you this is where I think it starts to get very interesting though as we get to the
Second half of the mid- tier we’ve got guys like straa and Keegan theala Henley uh Corey Connors Eric Cole I mean not the most household names but some guys who can go crazy low and some guys that obviously did some work in 2023 to get here yeah I’m I’m obsessed with uh sep
Straka this week it’s going to be really hard for me to get away from part of it is the ownership as we’re looking at it but you look at some of his Bermuda splits and some of the tournaments that he really excelled at over here over the
Last couple years yeah he won at the John Deere that was a shootout but not Bermuda specifically how about the fifth at the Honda playing pretty well down there uh at at a difficult Golf Course obviously this is going to be much much easier and it’s hard to say tick for Tat
In that kind of a regard but he had won it in in 2022 I believe it was and and came back played well there again this last season so he has some familiarity with the Bermuda he’s another Georgia Bulldog who this is I believe going to be his preferred surface once we
Accumulate a larger sample size for him on the PGA tour he’s been around since 2019 in an out but uh God he really stepped up to the plate over the course of last season especially over the summer summer again that first at the John Deere second at the Open
Championship and then the putter the putter just has these flash weeks of five six Strokes gain putting and I believe Bermuda to be his preferred service long term I think we just kind of disregard some of the short game around the green he can be one of the
Best iron players on the entire tour here uh I believe he has that kind of ability and pedigree so uh give me sep strock a 7,800 yes partially ownership but I mean God it’s hard to to kind of look at Russell Henley pulling 26% and
Say that sep straa at 10% isn’t a better play Yeah you mentioned again a lot of these game theory in the mid-range these players grayed out very similar you’re going to have to find some ways you can leave a little money on the table and you’re gonna need to to get away from
Some of the ownership uh I kind of want to pass it right back to you though and ask you the same things about the gala who is another guy that you know we know we can do it we saw him finally do it he’s got some talent I don’t feel super confident I
Think he has got a gigantic range of outcomes and I think his ball striking does not measure up to the rest of the range do you see it that way or is there an angle that you think he could really Thrive here it’s so hard because there’s
A part of me that’s biased because you know there’s there’s a number of guys who I’ve had a chance to play with on the PGA tour and this is one of them uh played a US Open qualifier with him at Crystal Air Country Club Once Upon a
Time and uh the guy is a freak there’s no doubt but he has these t- shots that once in a while just go crazy crazy offline and you’re like where did that come from and you know obviously this is the spot where if you can just get away
With all of those you’re going to go low anyway because his skill set is really good for these kind of shootout events just putting up crazy numbers you know he’s played well at like an RBC Heritage which obviously can be a little bit more difficult he’s played at the farmers
He’s played a number of spots where he can just Excel with the irons and gain six seven in that department and then around the green just been positive in his last four that we have strokes gained data for has gotten better and better because again that’s what he’s
Really known for is having this Elite short game and then just when he gets seven eight Strokes gain putting goes completely nuclear but there’s just a part of me that doesn’t want to go there and I’m not exactly sure why that is because it just feels like a golf course
That if you’re getting away with being terrible off the tea which he definitely is relative to the average PGA Touro golfer you kind of want to click him at low ownership here and yet I just find myself gravitating towards straa I said that I liked him more than Henley it’s
Not that I don’t have some Henley in my life but just not going to be getting to 26% of him and then Eric Cole sitting below him I think is another piece of chalk that I just kind of like in this range so I think I’m probably going to
Be making my stands more with like sep in the upper end of the sitting at 10% then like a 10% the gala right underneath it yeah I mean I think that you actually have a lot of guys that fit the same profile right there so you’re
Not really even if you believe in that I don’t know if it necessarily leads you straight to theala in the sense of like not strong off the tea and good everywhere like Eric Cole’s not exactly the best driver of the ball in the world Harris English Denny McCarthy JT Poston
Grio is not really in formed but as we look to the bottom of the sevens there’s a lot of pieces and then Cam Davis who’s gonna be very popular a noted uh wild man he scores he’s gonna outscore his placement Point most likely how do you
Look at this range because to me guys like you know McCarthy and English have have uh have me interested a little bit yeah I mean well first off Cameron Davis I think is actually really good chalk and it’s unfortunate he’s gonna be crazy popular right just crazy crazy popular I
I would assume that he him paired with like one of the big three up top or any double 9k lineups are going to be extremely correlated that sucks cuz I mean he’s he’s no doubt about it the guy that you you think about what you need here
Shootout third at the foret seventh at the Shriners here coming off at The Fall season 12th at the Zozo even you know played well at the 3M you know that’s one with a lot more water than you’ve got here but uh 10th out there fourth at
The PGA so he’s played well in Elite Fields as well he has that kind of upside he also has some immense downside with mis cuts at the Charles Schwab you know not something you would expect in the Mis cut at Genesis Scottish where you would think you know his his off the
Tea game would be helpful but no it’s it’s an interesting deal with Cameron Davis sometimes it’s easier to get away from these like lower priced like you know 7K pieces of chalk just because they’re not as good they’re priced 7K generally for a reason but I find him to
Be difficult to get away from at least clicking a little bit of I think maybe I’ll get away from him in single entry and go to my guy JT the postman your guy Grio is Just Gonna Get egregiously Low ownership how do you not click on that
Um going forward but I think Adam hadwin weirdly is kind of the guy that I I feel the most comfortable if I’m trying to Pivot we only saw him play once in the fall swing there but the Shriners he finished second put up a 19 under number
There with 24 birdies and an eagle so I mean he’s kind of been that guy in some of these weaker Fields where the putter gets immensely hot and we just see him take it for a ride so um you have a you have zero miscut Equity with anybody
Here because there’s no cut but like if if over over four days I definitely feel better about Cam Davis than everybody here but like trying to pick and choose my spots I think Adam hadwin’s the guy that I think could go out and just set the world on fire and maybe beat him
Out interesting that Adam hedwin is an interesting name in the betting side of things like if you’re looking for a weird top 10 or a top 20 something like that I could see him doing that he’s got splits that you do like prefers calm conditions prefers easy courses uh good
B Bermuda Putter and yeah we did see him uh during swing season as well gain across the board so I get it uh now we’re about to get because you know if you pay up you’re gonna have to get into the before we do that though I do want to
Mention I said at the beginning of the show better bet you guys have heard about it and if you haven’t you’re missing out you want to check out what they’ve got going on another site that is offering just more ways to get exposure to these Sports to your takes
To make some money you see it on the screen first match deposit first deposit up the $500 match a good opportunity and they’ve got some of these type of things available you know every site different angles whether it’s the 100x opportunities that they have the different formats the different styles I
Say the same thing every time doesn’t mean you have to run right now and sign up blindly the link is in the description click the link and read about it see the offers see the format and be part of it it’s another way to get good money down on this it doesn’t
Have to be all on one site doesn’t have to be all DFS all betting I prefer a combination of all of them better is just another way to do that so the link is in in in chat it just got thrown uh there and it’s obviously in the
Description of his video shout out to them we’re sponsoring for having that uh and go check them out because I have a feeling you’re gonna probably want to be on there if you’re looking for another way put down some dollars on some of these things we got uh who we got Adam
Shank Brendan Todd Benny on off I believe he’s off suspension yes my man back Hollywood hogi from the dtas senson I mean when you look at the sixes they Nam down here I don’t think we can just joke around and say we’re ignoring this range because there are names down here
So hogi is 18th in DK scoring over the course of the last what is that 50 round sample size over the last 25 looking at uh just outside of the top 20 there but from a scoring perspective hogi we know he has one superpower and that is the
Irons if you can get away with it off the te I think he pairs with like a thala somebody like that where it’s like let’s just disregard anything that has to do with off the te because it’s calm you have a biglion M wide Fairways and everybody’s going to
Be in them so let’s just play a second shot game I think there’s certain pairings the Tom hogi kind of fits with nicely but um it would it would appear that Brendan Todd is the guy that I’m just kind of jamming here in this range
At 6,900 we know he can roll his Rock again there’s certain pairings that I like with him as well he’s not exactly exceptional off the tea by any means as well but uh yeah in a putting contest if it’s going to end up being that 6,900
For him fits really easily in lineups I I feel strong that Brendan Todd uh is probably the most under owned golfer in this range really okay yeah I mean we know he can bail himself out with that Putter and and it is true you kind of
Talked about this uh again I think Deo was the example like Brandon Todd gets punished a lot off the te that really cannot happen here like you can’t screw that up and we know he’s got an elite short game and he can roll it I may have to force myself to readjust there
Because I do like Benny on um you know his putter lets him down in birdy Fest and that could happen there’s no doubt his personal trainer yeah yeah well win some you’ll lose some but he’s another guy easy conditions uh I think that will serve him well here I’m interested to
See where that ownership ends up this is a range you’re not going to get the crazy like we’re not looking at 30% own guys it’s the sixk range my next question though is where is that drop off because you know senson and Lee Hodes M Hughes I think is interesting
EVR honestly like I see Sheamus is down here how low is too low or honestly can we go all the way down we’re going all the way to Patrick Rogers 6,100 I I he’s in my single entry lineup right now I think playing 6100 with him and then not
Even again I’m I’m playing Xander 10K so I suppose he’s the one 10K guy that’s in that lineup but I think on a on a golf course like this you always know that you’re going to fight a Putter and you’re going to Patrick Rogers have these terrible putting weeks but when
It’s flat or when it’s even slightly positive the guy is an absolute monster from time to time and 25th in DK scoring I mean that’s second best in this entire 6K range besides Tom hogi and that’s over a 50 round sample size over 100 round sample
Size even a little bit better at 23rd so like I don’t know I’m starting to talk myself into P Patrick Rogers who’s also in the top golfers tool here at stochastic the most leveraged golf of the entire week uh I know that we were getting the FanDuel questions earlier
7400 for him uh sitting at the same number as Camilo Ryan I definitely prefer going to that side of things but yeah Patrick Rogers man 6100 it does a lot for your lineups thinky pair is also with the second most leverage golfer there if you’re trying to get a really
Low owned build Rogers Plus Clark and then figuring out other bombers with it not the worst way to go about your life I’m gonna give you one more kind of Dark Horse down there that no one’s really going to play I’m a Nick Hardy fan I’m
Going to try to buy on Nick Hardy right off the bat really benefits from Easy courses of course he hasn’t been here but he’s played at Sony played well last time there so he’s Familiar of course with some Island Golf uh you know he was 14th in 2021 2023 was really good off
The tea just got eaten up around the green I don’t worry about that as much here and we’ve seen him make strides I think he’s a guy that’s getting better for all what I know he’s healthy and ready to go sub 5% yes I like Rogers I’m
With you I may explore a onew combo Punt and then have like chefer havin together in a lineup and see what that looks like because I don’t think a lot of people are going to do that not my preferred build but for tournaments large field
You could do a lot a lot with that my last question to you before we kind of give some hot takes we’ll talk a little betting as well is there anyone where you’re just like I I don’t think they’re even remotely like no interest for me
ETA and Cameo I I just don’t think I’m going to get there I don’t think it’s necessary to get there yeah and I I like Sheamus power as a person as a golfer I’ve always cheered for him I I don’t know if I necessarily need to go out of
My way to back him here yep and then um trying to think I mean I think Vincent Norman just somebody that we haven’t seen enough here on the PGA tour uh he’s played a lot you know Dubai World Tour stuff and you know he’s kind of always
Middling finishes there 15th 27th the DP World Tour it is um but he comes over here and outside of that Irish open win on the DP World Tour and it’s been pretty gross for him here the Shriners got a cut there uh State Side Zozo t38 I
Don’t know if I need to go dip my uh dip my what am I trying to say dip my toes into that pool I think I’m G to be getting away from that pretty much yeah pass I guess the big question I have for
You is luk list in or out oh man we almost made it through the first show um he’s popular 15% he’s by far the most popular 6K golfer I just have such a a tough time with that part of it because it’s it’s not just like oh luk list in
Or out there there’s there’s that context and I think it’s crucial context I’m gonna say more out I might end up with a few shares I don’t think I get over on him I think that it’s just a really difficult spot for a guy that
He’s as live to putt you out of a tournament as any golfer that we mentioned um what about you you feel same way that’s that’s where I’ve kind of drawn the line because we talk about ball striking and how Elite it can be for certain guys in certain ranges and I
Think 6100 is he underpriced relative to maybe like a a Matt Wallace uh a Chris Kirk sure we could we could PR probably make that argument but like he is the worst putter in this field and it’s not remotely close and we keep talking about
How Yano need that part of the skill set for me you’re just playing Luke list in the event that you think bombers are just going to take over this golf course but we seen time and time again I mean throughout the years where every type of
Skill set can kind of jump to the top of the board here and it’s more of a mix and match type approach yeah I’ll be heavy towards you know four or five type skill sets or you know pairing certain guys but like luk list just feels like unnecessary chalk to me couple fun
Questions before we get out of here if your oneandone was starting this week who would you use would you look to a top end guy and try to win would you look for a mid-range uh and go that route see it’s cuz there’s certain guys
That you just kind of want to bottle up for Majors like I think Scotty sheer it’s a little bit foolish to to go to Scotty I think havland I think it’s a little bit foolish to try to take a shot there so if you get burned by the two
Most likely winners here I think I’d kind of be okay with it I I keep landing on Matthew Fitzpatrick as kind of the guy at 9500 where I don’t think he’s going to be very popular in oneand done I kind of want to save him up for a major of some sort but
Like I I I’ve been going back and forth and obviously you guys should all be jumping into Mayo’s thing the $200 it’s going to be a lot of fun this season it’s a it’s a cool deal to to be playing and I’ve played it the last couple years
Haven’t done remotely well in it but um I’m more inclined to save up anything north of 9500 I think Fitzpatrick’s the first guy I entertain when you’re just looking at DK scoring but like do we just fire up Jordan spe maybe maybe here this could be my answer is that really
Yeah it I’m having a tough time it’s gonna be Matt Fitzpatrick or Jordan speed for me it is I think I can get away with it’s not to say I think speed’s gonna have a terrible year but I like him in the spot I bet him already
Uh and I don’t want to use one of the real big names I also don’t want to give up on the tournament you know I’m not gonna just say right oh let me punt with some you know guy and he comes in 48 that’s not GNA get us off to a good year
I want someone with serious serious potential like Fitzy like spe I think Ricky sunjay types uh and I could go that route um last question though from our friend Phil of course a me M here as well he was saying if you’re look to the betting markets who’s some guys you
Think that litter that top 10 Market before you give your answer I’m just going to give you a shout out Phil to anyone who’s not involved in our Discord an OD Chopper you should consider joining us uh we are building up the community part of the stochastic family
You have not been over to OD Chopper you don’t know we have revamped that package to include everything from the Discord to the picks to the tools all Under One Roof me and Eric uh are heavily involved there you see it on the screen the link
Is below come check it out uh even if you just stop in for a week we would love to have you we’re talking golf in there right now actually and some of those top 10 bets that we’re going to be dropping will be in there I think for me
I’m gonna stick these same guys you you and me see it Fitzy spe I think is awesome sunj is a top 10 Target for me uh if I gave a dark horse Nick Hardy uh Patrick Rogers types but that you’re going to get big plus
Money if you go that route yeah I mean bigger plus money four to one on SE strock is not the worst thing in the entire world I don’t have access to P Rivers but if I did that would be fun points bet plus 450 even a little bit
Better if you have access to that I don’t completely hate that one entirely but um I think we’re seeing it the same Matt Fitzpatrick plus 250 I think is a little bit wrong um that is a ridiculous little number to beginning on him there so if you have access to bet Rivers it
Would be silly not to have a sprinkle on that because that’s just kind of a misprice for a guy who again it’s just more expensive in draftking scoring not that it’s a perfect one toone comp but like Fitzy at top 10 Equity here at two and a half to one is always something
You should be entertaining in a small field yeah and again it’s small field so aabra will help you with that making sure because you mentioned the spr like you could bet Fitzy at plus 250 or you could probably bet him about plus 150 somewhere else and you don’t think that
Adds up you will be sely mistaken so head over there again Link in the description we’re going to bounce on out of here but uh if you have a hot take for the way out mine is going to be pretty simple we’re just warming up but
I don’t want to pull anything it’s the first show get critically injured I think that Nick Hardy is the is going to be the best 6K player this week which is a big hot take I know that’s very unlikely because he’s towards the bottom of the range I am saying that he’s a
Sneaky tournament play he’s someone I got my eye on in both betting and DFS all right I’m gonna go for the perfect ex or the the exact of right first and second you’re the horse racing guy oh my God you just see you don’t need to
Stretch you just go right for it yeah how about this Matt Fitz Matt Fitzpatrick wins by one over SE straa one two Exacta that’ll pay out a nice dollar that’s for sure if that hits uh Chad I don’t even I don’t even know what we’ll do we’ll just we we will we will
Put the tape up I’m gonna go put 20 bucks on it now because I know it’s R that’s a life because if I didn’t I will be quite upset but it’s gonna be an awesome year I know this isn’t really a normal show with 59 golfers we’re just
Getting started you’re going to be seeing us and wet us know what you want to see we’re going to BR Brack some tears we’re going to have some fun we’re going to have some new categories and of course expect to see these Sim tools lineup generat embedded in this show
Because we are using them to build our lineups and we believe that you guys should as well so check that stuff out on your way out of course none of this would be possible without the third member of the crew Jordan Klein behind the G glass I’ve been hanging with him
For the last three hours and he looks like I’ve been hanging with him for the last three hours my friend you are a trooper for powering through these shows and we appreciate you guys on the way out hit the like button and stick with us all year here at stochastic for me
For Eric and for Jordan thanks again for tuning at the Sentry let’s take down 200k do it again next week until then good luck and joy talk to you soon
