Matt Gannon breaks down his favorite LIVE plays for the Sony Open
Saturday morning we are live Sony Open round three few hours away I know it’s it’s 11: a.m eastern time and we have don’t have golf till like 4 pm which is a true bummer we have to wait all day at least we have some other stuff to uh suit us
Today we have college basketball we have NFL today so it’s not all bad but it sucks I mean I love the Hawaii swing but waiting till 400 p.m. for golf kind of sucks like I like watching those ESPN plus uh Broad during the day and like
Having just random golf to watch but it is what it is we are here um let’s let’s talk golf let’s talk the leaderboard we got um we got a bunch of guys in the mix we really do we have atin ekro T1 Ben Griffin T2 or one back Keegan Bradley
Two back OA batia two back Aaron Ry three back I like I’m not even lying I this is some of the most guys I’ve had in the mix in an event on the through 36 holes in a long time and you know when you have it lined up perfectly it never
It never ends well so let me just drop the link in the chat and then we will we we will get going so how how let’s pull the leaderboard up here’s here’s our guys we have nine through six that are definitely live to win this tournament
But we still got to talk about some other guys who are who are mixing a little bit obviously crazy crazy Carl Yuan uh Oh wrong screen up now crazy Carl Yuan went crazy yesterday but I do not trust this man with the lead at all
If you’re new to golf he is a I guess secondy year player on the PGA tour played a little bit last year very unique swing kind of does a lot with his follow through and is very uh artisanal with his golf swing but which is great
Great player every time he’s been in a moment like this it has not held up it it really has not and but the stats are great look look at the stats he is eighth off the te sixth on approach anytime you’re doing that you’re going
To be in the top 10 of a golf tournament mostly and he’s 20th in putting that means he’s gaining Strokes on the putting green a very awesome profile and if he holds this up over the weekend he’ll probably win now like what I was saying I don’t see Carl Yuan with his
Artisanal golf swing really uh holding that form and being there come Sunday afternoon I do think I I’m going to place three live wagers with you guys which is why I got the this tab open find a local if you can a good trusted one here in Florida it is definitely uh
Definitely a key so call youan I do I will have a live ad on him I think I will get to that when we get to that but let’s talk Austin eckroad our guy we have him 125 to one tied for first heading into the weekend he is St
Striping the ball off the T and I he’s crushing the ball driving accuracy he hit 22 of 28 Fairways tied for first hitting his Iron’s good and putting well just like I talked about with Yan a great profile and I talked about ecro earlier in this earlier in the uh week
He was his last start in Mexico he gained 10 Strokes on approach like this guy was trending and this guy is playing good golf so I’m happy ecro is performing because we have him it’s awesome to see Ben on a guy who has also been playing good golf of late and this
Is a guy I think we’re going to have to watch out for gaining in all four major categories and he’s kind of doing it like the Ben on way definitely crushing driving distance and definitely crushing around the green that’s what Ben on does really well not that that’s like the
Formula for this golf course but Ben on is doing doing what he probably should have done and it was it was an easy nine under for him it didn’t look very stressful at all so Ben on I think we’re going to have to find some Wagers on him
Let’s see what his top five and top 10 price are top 10 B on minus 165 like like I just that that’s hitting it I know it’s juice but like that’s going to hit and that’s going to be probably my first bet I’m GNA make we have we’re
Going to give ourselves $300 to spend we’re going to do top five finish Ben on we’re going to put 150 on that so that I mean like I know it’s ugly but like he’s finishing inside the top 10 like he truthfully just is so we’ll throw 50 on
That so we have $150 left to spend let’s let let’s see where let’s see where we’re going to go from there first I will uh put it into my spreadsheet so you guys can uh also see how we’re doing I’ll update the spreadsheet update the you see all my
Spreadsheets the golf Mecca spreadsheet so onto Sony the card that’s the card it’s it’s it’s well I kind of just went through it these five grand bet five grand bets that we talked about twice during the week they’re definitely live obviously this first round leaders
Didn’t hit but Rio made the cut as top Japanese he I think he’s in third for the top Japanese but he’s definitely live to cash at plus 330 Haron and oar top 10 and top 20 they’re definitely live everything is still alive we’re looking good uh match up yesterday we
Won this round one matchup was kind of a bummer Austin ekro minus 115 versus Taylor Montgomery like montg ekro shot five under one of the rounds of the day and he was paired against Taylor Montgomery who shot six under one of the best rounds of the entire entire day and
It was like the best ball striking round of Taylor Montgomery’s career so just backing I mean fading Montgomery on the the best ball striking round of his career just super unlucky there I feel like we should be two and0 with these matchups our round three matchup I
Already posted it but it is Keegan Bradley plus 110 versus Andrew putam they have similar stat profiles heading into the week and I have no idea why keeg Bradley is a dog to Andrew putham but that’s our thing so we’ll put in our first live ad it’s going to be it was
On and it was T10 minus 165 we put 150 on that so we have uh 300 more to spend I mean 150 more to spend with the live ads talk Underdog and prize picks real quick um we’re one and0 we’re one in one on prize
Picks hit that hit that uh three leer on Thursday one of the legs pushed but it’s still cash for us and then I shouldn’t have done that six leg I was just kind of feeling myself we hit four out of six and five out of six would have cashed
And Aaron Ry shot a 69 and missed two putts inside four feet kind of sucked the only bad bad leg here was hadwin hadwin really had no chance kind of blew it late and then we’re one in 0 one and one on Underdog push day push day one and then
Brian Harman had every single Chance in the World to make that fifth birdie he finished with four and he if you watch the the golf yesterday you saw how many times Brian Harman lipped out but that’s golf I’m not I can’t complain over a Lip lip out we got two entries today I
Posted them on Twitter so Go Peep those if you want to check our Underdog and Prospect entries the DFS we’re doing well we’re doing well this switch to Davis where is it going 71% Davis over um I had 71% senson that was a massive switch and that is doing us well
Right now but it’s still we still got a lot of golf to left got a lot of golf left the only guys that didn’t make the cut were Bor and Schmid but look I have all of these guys making the cut except for two that’s should be a great spot to
Cash some lineups coming the weekend and we are cashing thus far so let’s talk a little bit more about the leaderboard and find our last two bets talked about these guys now who do I think is going to win I mean hopefully it’s going to be
One of our golfers but I really want to take a look at Keith Mitchell who was eight under finished off with an eagle to round yesterday but I love his stat profile 11th off the getting a little bit on approach first around the green and 45th putting Now Keith Mitchell
Anytime he is like a zero to plus one on approach that’s when he pops he’s a really bad Iron player really bad wedge player usually a really great driver and a volatile but High ceing putter so when this number this approach number is small or even with the field Keith
Mitchell’s live so we haven’t seen much of good golf from Keith Mitchell but this is very intriguing and if we’re getting 15-1 Plus on Keith Mitchell I will it’s definitely worth the sprinkle so let’s see what we can get on Keith Mitchell outright winner outright winner
18 to one like that’s going to be my second bet as like a hedge live ad we’re going to throw $50 at that so we have $100 left to spend Keith Mitchell 18 to1 winner I just love the stat profile for and he’s one back hopefully y he he’s
What he’s the PGA Tour winner not many of these guys are PGA Tour winners in this in this group of of studs at the Sony Open Keith Mitchell is a proven golfer he’s won before hasn’t won in a while so I’m gonna do my second live ad Keith Mitchell T10 no Keith Mitchell
Outright sorry outright I can’t spell I’m sorry outright holy [ __ ] plus 18800 all right we have $100 left to spend with the live ads we have one more bet to find let’s go find it what do we want to do let’s talk Cam Davis for a second I shot eight
Under SE 6270 uh the opposite of Ben Griffin so you probably have different feelings about the two golfers uh Cam Davis you were super high on Thursday and then he looked like [ __ ] yesterday whereas Ben Griffin a guy that we have look super super [ __ ] on Thursday and
Looked awesome yesterday I mean two good rounds of golf different days but Cam Davis has a very wonky stat profile barely gaining off the te barely gaining on approach first in putting now this stat profile is not going to hold up like I was high on Cam Davis this
Week the stats were not great but it was more of a bounceback thing on a golf course that people weren’t too high on him for and it’s coming to fruition like he’s literally in second place right now and like I’ll Pat myself on the back for
That but I don’t see this holding up first in putting and he’s barely gaining anything else elsewhere so I don’t want to do anything with Cam Davis here hopefully he can cash us some DFS lineups but I’d be I don’t think he’s gonna win and I don’t want to see him
Win because I don’t have anything else on him besides DFS all right let’s see what we can do look everyone down this leaderboard from literally like everyone is live no one up here has proven literally anything and this is so bunched up this is the most jammed up tournament in a
While in a a damn long time every single one of these players is Al and we’re we’re in a golf course where 62s are definitely in question and 62s are definitely in question the wind’s going to slow down a little bit we’re going to see some low
Rounds fade Ben Griffin let’s talk about Ben Griffin then so like like I was saying everyone’s live the win’s going to be down um look I don’t think you could the the case for fading Ben Griffin uh a great round yesterday guys usually don’t back up great rounds today I could
Totally see you could fade Ben Griffin I didn’t really see any great matchups against him because I was kind of looking for that at first but the stat profile is fine he’s doing kind of what Ben Griffin does fifth in putting and gaining a little bit everywhere else see
I think whereas Ben Griffin whereas uh whereas Cam Davis is more reliant on that approach off the te game Ben Griffin is not that Reliant on the approach off te game this is a usual Ben Griffin profile I’d like to see a little bit more on approach because he’s
Usually better with his wedges but I would say more fade Cam Davis then fade Ben Griffin if you wanted to do that route but off that 62 I I can see it Keith Mitchell over Ben Griffin agree there I do agree there all right let’s
Find we have $100 left to spend what do we want to do let’s look at the odds board and then we’ll go from there okay oh [ __ ] did it go away no are we boned [ __ ] it went away looks like it’s time to go to DraftKings all
Right so we got that 18 to1 on Keith I think we could find a nice like top five ad for us I really think we could find a nice top five ad lvic I have lvic top 10 I don’t want any more lvic top let’s look at Terell Hatton he’s six
And a half to one to finish inside the top five let’s look at his stat profile where is he five under Haden’s five under I don’t love that I mean this is a pretty solid stat profile gaining off the T slightly I don’t love it though I really
Don’t love it he he’s definitely due to light up around for sure go super low get him self back into it but I don’t think I love that Stuart sink is plus 220 to finish inside the top 10 and he is what is he in is he is he
T2 let’s look at steuart saying plus 220 to finish inside the top 10 on a golf course that he could clean clean Friday one bad hole on Thursday gaining in all four major categories okay there’s no reason Stu sink can’t finish inside the top 10 like
At all if we could can we find that on this all right that well that’s going to be the final bet but we’re going to ro ride with this through Sy I’m going to get this on DraftKings or I’ll get it on that on the book If I can sink plus 220
To finish inside the top 10 I’m down I’m definitely down for that okay so you guys know the situation we have all of these outrights in the mix small hedge on Keith Mitchell Stu syn top 10 plus 220 Ben on top 10 minus 165 like he’s
Just gonna finish inside the top 10 like he’s just gonna and then Keith Mitchell hedge so put this in for you and then wrap it up T10 plus 220 Oh wait [ __ ] do I only have I only have $50 left to spend no I have 100 I
Am drunk today I am sorry I am so sorry there we are okay well it’s going to be a fun weekend super fun weekend like this is one of the most excited I’m for a golf weekend in a while especially cuz is going to be on in the afternoon if but you got
