There we are we’re in the zone you’re in the zone get in the zone I’m so in the zone I love this week um it’s right in my backyard uh the weather is good like we’ve gotten so much rain in LA in the past couple of weeks and this is the
First week in like two weeks where it’s going to be mid 60s and pretty sunny so uh I’m going all four days um I will be at the golf course maybe hopefully even for a practice round if I can swing it uh but I can’t wait I love Riviera who
Does it love Riviera Riviera Tiger’s back um gonna be a lot of fun this week it’s funny that um the broadcast used that terminology I think it was Nick Taylor’s in the zone and I’m like hm because Sir Trevor Trevor imman follows me now does he he’s a great guy I’d love
To get him on the podcast one time he he’s got some interesting thoughts um about a lot of things obviously he’s a pretty sharp golf mind in general um I think that like a great dude no he does it great in the broadcast you know I think that Michael Kim said this Twitter
Phenomenon Michael Kim said this that kizner he liked Kar on the broadcast and I really like him too anduh I think he does a great job because he’s a contemporary he knows these guys he’s played with them he’s he doesn’t he doesn’t occupy space with too many words
Like ainger did uh he knows where to fit in the stuff that’s important and um I think he’s doing fantastic I love listening to him but I can tell you that you know it reminds me of kizner a lot from his from his just his attitude and
His his grittiness is Nick Taylor and put that in your notes for next year we to call it stroke game Strokes gain guts but the the waste management has gone you know completely off the ledge which I like I mean I love see Z Johnson freak
Out they but guys like Taylor or Hoffman who are kind of gritty guys of the people uh the crowd went absolutely bananas for just grinder Nick Taylor at the end right it didn’t really matter that it wasn’t sheffler they still love Taylor wi and he just he was a Savage all
Week Savage and I cannot believe how good of a putter he is right I should know this because of his success at Pebble Beach um but man that guy did not quit I feel badly for Hoffman I feel badly Forman and it’s not like in the
Golf sense oh I’m so broken down that a golfer didn’t win Millions but Hoffman’s a guy that’s been out there forever you don’t know much about him you just know he’s a dude he just doesn’t complain he’s he had used to have the long stringy hair he’s just a legend and a rockstar
So I said a lot of nothing there but you can continue now it’s your choice your I um you were pretty uh heavy on I know you’re a Hoffman guy like you you’re the only guy I know that you have bet Hoffman multiple times this year and I know that you were
Did you play him this week in uh in Phoenix are you just live bet him because I know we had I will hand up the the Nick Taylor Miss which I’m I was kind of tough on myself because one of the things that I talked about a lot in
Terms of Phoenix was the stickiness of the course history right and that this was by the way we have another week of that here at Rivier coming up but the top five courses on the PGA tour in terms of the correlation of course history austa giant Gap wly Riviera
Phoenix uh and beel and so Nick Taylor was kind of this obvious 7.2k stupid history I know right me too course history guy um that I didn’t actually have any exposure to I know a lot of people in the Discord did um but Hoffman was from the clouds like I I you
Know he hadn’t I I was getting ready to tweet this because there was a a little bit there on Sunday where it looked like Hoffman was going to run away with it and and Sheffer was kind of gonna be the story of how did how did Hoffman beat
Sheffer and then it ended up being Nick Taylor that kind of came around and stole the show from everyone but I was comparing the last two years of Scotty sheffler and um Charlie Hoffman and they’ve both played like 55 times in the last two years and Scotty Sheffer uh I
Believe has more top fives than Charlie Hoffman has made Cuts in the last two years and it’s like don’t give me this variance doesn’t exist in golf okay our friend Kobe just won $100,000 this week playing nobody over 11% on DK um and like I said sometimes I think that is
It’d be funny if you won 100K playing Zack Blair in his lineup just let you know that would be hilarious and I think the depth of the PGA Tour is sometimes a a big detriment to the PGA tour’s excitement and and I think sometimes it’s it’s a big asset as well
I think it was an week yeah yeah but um you know Charlie Hoffman’s a waste management sponsor and uh you know he’s always played tough courses well you talk about course history look at him at Augusta on Thursday he was always the guy that was minus eight right your
First first round leader uh he’s just a he’s just a very good long iron player and he’s tough he’s just gritty and he’s tough he’s a guy that that really a lot of these fans can root for that’s why we like him um liking Nick Taylor now Nick
Taylor’s the same he’s a Winnipeg kid he’s tough I mean listen if you if you grow up in Winnipeg and he didn’t grow up his entire uh childhood in Winnipeg but if you if you’re a great golfer out of Canada in Winnipeg where it’s winter
11 and a half months a year you’ve got some sort of skill that like even in a hadwin I mean you know people bust on him all you want but a lot of these Canadian guys who don’t get the golf exposure as much as guys who play in the
South uh it’s something to take note of so Waste Management still love it got out of control Saturday weather was [ __ ] not this week we’re finally gonna have four days of gooda of pure conditions right um Kevin’s gardening right now Saul Goodman when do we get to questions I
Have a few here’s the first one okay uh the comedy in our Discord from Saul Goodman is free it’s not an upgraded package he Workshop bits 24 hours a day um this’s in there as well she’s she’s fire she’s she’s firing early here on a Monday morning um we’re big were you
Just real quick and then I promise we’ll get to rev um were you Chiefs or 49ers last night Chiefs I’ve said it on NFL shows I said there is a certain cosmic energy and NFL desire for the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl that that 1% or whatever San Francisco will know it
Late they’ll feel it late they’ll drop a punt or something because I mean and the Chiefs almost had the exact scenario played out with six seconds to go with Kelce scoring the winning touchdown no time left that that didn’t work out so gell had to had to reconfigure the game
Script into overtime but yeah I mean I I was a they are inevitable I was a victim to my own data on that one too I I just thought the 49ers were such such a more complete football team um but no the reason I the reason I bring
It up is because Natalie’s huge huge huge 49ers family so her first comment in the chat this morning was happy Monday to everyone except the Chiefs Britney Mahomes Travis Kelce and Jackson Mahomes the Jackson M the Jackson Mahomes stuff I just can’t get over I just can’t get over the Jackson
Mahomes stuff he’s an interesting dude that’s for sure NFL is over it’s golf season baby I know I know you know it’s funny the here’s some you know one thing we should talk about every week is the is who are we runting off in golf now
Who has had their moment in the sun who has now lost their utility for us halflife is you know doubling minute by minute someone replied in the comments go talk about how good you w and you are listen listen uh Yan yes we can shove
Him it was a nice little run for a little bit for Carl Yuan but no more and thankfully those two aren’t playing this week you want you I think you’s in the field actually is he yeah oh that’s a that’s a problem um he is6300 $200 cheaper than Tiger Woods
Just shot out of a Canon Wy better DFS play Kevin U 6.3 Tiger Woods 6.5 well here’s the thing with Tiger Tiger has never won on this course nor has Jack Nicholas and tiger has specifically said this is these are the greens I have struggled with most in my
Career that’s paraphrasing but I remember him in an interview with Bubba Watson who did do well here yeah but tiger for some reason could never solve this course and it was the first course he ever played as a pro right uh I think his first professional uh debut was in
Vegas but yeah he’s put this has been his white whale like he he’s never been able to he’s never been able to tame Riviera and um you know Rory said it last year and previous years that and this from a difficulty standpoint this ranked I think 17th out of 58th last
Year and the year before was 10th the most difficult courses on tour yeah and the difference is is that on these po grains and Rory said it that he you know he believes that from a three-foot putt standpoint we miss the most here I mean three foot five foot 10 foot putts
Are very difficult plus you cannot get away you cannot get away without around the green prowess at this course with the shave runoffs the speed of the Rens the wind if it picks up which I’m not sure it does this week but if you look
At number 10 if no one has ever played DFS and watched and played DFS and watched this you know this tournament number 10 will absolutely mess up your life it will it seems like the easiest shortest par 4 on tour but it will just screw with your head um and you have and
If you have a guy that’s long and the rough left on number number 10 first hole of the tournament and you know that your guy is not really in the upper class around the greens you’re [ __ ] you are a seven early um and what did Sheffer do last
Week I mean Sheffer again again a great performance but great play Under owned like Sheffer was under owned in my opinion at that price where was he where was his where was his what pulled him back last week I think he was negative Strokes G around
The green yeah barely but yeah I mean he was kind of neutral putting and around the green and led the field off the te and approached so it was a pretty classic shuffer week from a statistical standpoint by the way people don’t believe that I go to Super Cuts and I
Went there today at 11:30 in the morning right because this show is brought to you by Super Cuts grab yourself a cut you didn’t know that no I I I know I sometimes I get confused about all of our active Partnerships no no super in the zone got tons of promo
Codes out there no you use code Andy at any Super Cuts and you get a free haircut just bring your own scissors right okay um so the Christine and the ladies at Super Cuts in Lexington literally because I told them I said No One Believes I go here they literally
Watched this show and other shows and like on YouTube and watch our shows and we’re loving that Super Cuts was mentioned so there you go there you go all right this course you talk okay well I mean one of the things that uh I I’ll take care Natalie you keep
Talking okay um so I I wrote a lot about this golf course in um in the article on Rumer sports.com right now I I think it’s the best golf course on on the PGA tour that’s not a major gol that’s not for a major um I think George Thomas is
One of the best Architects to ever do it I think this is like an American Masterpiece unfortunately I think it’s been uh compromised a little bit uh by how far the golf ball travels today and and Driver head technology and this is a golf course that historically in the
Past has been you know a shotmakers Golf Course right that’s why Bubba Watson has loved it this is why Ben Hogan has loved it this is why there’s this giant Augusta connection here between uh all these players that like your Adam Scott and your Dustin Johnson’s and your Bubba
Watson’s is because it it requires that same type of shop making and creativity where you know it doesn’t really favor a draw or a fade specifically you kind of have to work the ball both ways to have a lot of success as you’ve mentioned short game is incredibly important at
This golf course as well now the thing that I would keep in mind that I have noticed every year in the data with Riviera is that uh a lot of these dog legs are uh cutable now um this is a golf course with a low Miss Fairway
Penalty uh there is no water on this golf course there’s no hazards on what low Miss Fairway penalty like meaning that if you miss the Fairway uh you’re ability to salvage the same score that that you would have gotten had you hit the Fairway is is very similar uh
Because and the fairways are so narrow and caned that it has a 50% driving accuracy percentage that um not even the best the most accurate drivers of the ball aren’t always hitting these Fairways either and that’s what hom said last year he said listen if you if you
The fairways are so firm and fast that you get a lot of run out but you’re still sometimes gonna end up yeah in the rough in the kakuya which is like velcro for Trevor enman right but you still have if you get a good run out you still
Have a shorter Club in which you want yeah now if you if you’re short and you get hung up with with a long iron it’s it’s adios adios yeah we don’t want short and inaccurate here um but but yeah and I mean you look at um you look
At uh the last couple of leaderboards the the winners like Rah won here losing to the field significantly in driving accuracy walk Neeman lost significantly to the field and driving accuracy Cameron young will zorus all of these guys have finished top five Victor hin are finishing top five at Rivier and now
Hitting less than 50% of their Fairways so one angle that I am taking this week that you know I know that um I know that Riviera doesn’t get talked about or thought about as this like bombers Paradise Golf Course um but I I disagree with that from a 2024 version of Riviera
I think this is a golf course where the distance problem is is kind of manifesting in real time and I actually one way that I think I may have an edge here and and be able to look at this golf course a little bit differently is
That to me hitting the ball a long way and sacrificing accuracy for distance based on how I would map out the course um is an angle that I’m taking this week along with short game and and obviously experience on PO greens so like to me this is a driver short game course more
So than it has been in the past um so I mean there are a lot of different ways that you can take that but one of the things that that I see in the numbers uh is is the importance of power off the te at this 20 2024 version of
Riviera yeah and you know on on more difficult tracks um and that’s why hom has had success here not not to mention he’s from he’s a California guy but you want on these large screens to a set yourself up correctly in the Fairway but B also position yourself
On the right side of the green because they’re you don’t want to shorts side yourself um you don’t want to go long a conservative player like Max hom which you know I again last week don’t play him I don’t play him in in in high-scoring events um but in courses
Like this where you have to be very smart and strategic that is the kind of player I like in h uh or morawa who can are long enough in the Fairway can hit the Fairway but also are extremely gifted at hitting the right side of the green yeah
And not giving up uh bogeys or doubles making par like a tiger and moving on um I don’t think it’s not a course where because the difficulty putting you know you can make all these putts and make a ton of birdies that’s why H I think
Thrives here that’s I like him here um he might be my most heavily owned at this point wow interesting cam cam young see see now cam young showed enough last week that people are going to go back to him and he’s he can be a very addictive player because of you know how
Interesting he is off the tea his Sunday though his sort of you know the Camy young going backwards this um was was probably difficult for me to be really heavy on him this week yet yet also look at the guys that he’s I mean we’ll get to the eights in a second I
Want to start with the top but cam young is surrounded by amazing options in my opinion um in the mid to high eights yes yeah some of the pricing here is is interesting this week so so can we talk about that a little bit like what
What is kind of your first reaction to this like let’s start at the top you have um and and we’ll get to Xander because I I’ve got some stuff on Xander this week but like just Rory and Sheffer again in their own tier sheffer’s 11.5 Rory’s
11.2 Sheffer is the same price that he was I believe at was last week the only difference is is you have a Rory there right next to him um now I thought Sheffer at that price was under owned last week I I don’t know how you watch
Scotty Sheffer play golf last week and feel worse about him I guess if you’re making the case because he’s the best ball Striker since tiger and and it’s not particularly close um and he has proven that over a large large sample size now the case against Sheffer is
These are much more difficult greens than um the greens that he had at waste so last week Sheffer finished third as a neutral putter is it in the range of outcomes that sheffer’s putter gets going completely in the wrong direction this week on tougher polar greens and he finishes uh
T16 yeah it’s in the range of outcomes right I I think his floor in Phoenix is a little bit higher than his floor uh at this golf course is just because how cold the putter can get on these particular greens but man the way that sheffer’s hitting the ball right now now
On a golf course that emphasizes ball striking once again like this is a low Greens in regulation percentage Sheffer has one of the best short games in Golf 2 like I wouldn’t feel comfortable going higher than a floor of T15 for Sheffer this week and Rory has yeah forever and
And Rory has proven to us like he did at Pebble that Rory is is a more you know highly variable golfer than than Sheffer in my in my opinion um but I’m curious how ownership shakes out because you know Rory was low owned at Pebble Beach and stunk so what’s Drive what’s driving
You to Rory here at this price yeah so so the thing with why golf is so difficult because of the variance is that you need the larger sample size in golf versus other sports NBA you can be pretty predictive of what based on someone’s minutes what they’re going to
Do in a 42 minute 35 minute uh you know time on the floor or like a Jamar Chase what he’s going to do in four quarters he’s going to get 11 targets seven catches he’s gonna get x amount of yards and probably a touchdown right you just
Know that because because um you know those plays are set up uh it’s you know he’s one of the better players on the field he’s better than he does things that other players cannot do so you’re pretty safe in that projection to be correct with golf even though Nick
Taylor or Hoffman smoke aom or beat a a sheffler it doesn’t make them the better golfer but they can be a better golfer in one round maybe two rounds and possibly even four rounds they can’t be the better golfer over the course of 40 tournaments in a year and that’s the difference do
You take if you had one player do you take sheffler in 40 tournaments of course of course yeah but but can they be beaten more often in one round or even four yes yes um the difference is when you narrow the field now to 70 players and it has a cut
There’s a cut it’s ridiculous as it sounds there’s a cut which I don’t can we just talk about for one second not to get us derailed because I want to talk about the pricing um but I’m so confused about this from a marketing standpoint because I I I go to this golf tournament
Every year why cut two people well well the guy with the highest Miss cut equity in this field is tiger and you’re just going to lower the amount of money that you can make on this event if tiger doesn’t play the weekend like the crowds here every year are insane for Tiger
Woods like that’s why I love going to this golf tournament because if you decide not to follow Tiger Woods you can see a lot of great golf shots from some great players so Tiger has the highest um miscut equity in this entire field like he is the lowest floor in this
Entire field why would you enter in the possibility for him not to play the weekend at Riviera when you could sell so many more T I mean I’ll just say like I love Los Angeles I I love living here this is going to be the home for the
Rest of my life it’s not a great sports city okay people are just going to go to the beach if the weather’s great you know I went to Lac and that was like a very poorly attended tournament half the city didn’t know that it was happening
The way to drive ticket sales at Riviera is Tiger over the weekend and I think there’s like a over 70% chance that tiger misses the cut this week so I I just it it blows my mind I don’t get it at all I think you’re I think you’re
Overvaluing the ability for the PGA Tour to make good decisions with their brand or in marketing and I you know people people people think I bang on the live tour because of some political affixation I don’t give a [ __ ] about politics and live to what I’m saying is
That I’m tired of these big Brands telling us what we want as fans the gasl US that these teams are the way to go or that this product is working when they get 9500 live on a Saturday with that leaderboard okay I have the same I have
The same complaints with the PGA tour in that the Waste Management Phoenix Open is the greatest energy High highest energy best marketing vehicle for the PGA Tour um but I I was jokingly said that of course Jay manan’s going to come out at the end of the tournament tell
Everyone to quiet down and then hand out like fold brochures yeah telling people how they can mail in to grow the game of course they’re going to make decisions like this where they can have what is it top 50 in ties and 71 in a 71 man field
So like let me just lay out this scenario for you you know there’s a cut this week but if every single player in the field is within 10 Strokes of the leader which happens often one person can be cut how humiliating is that actually thinking about it that way
It’d be kind of funny if thaten and from a DFS perspective think about how much more that increases the the importance of getting your all six guys through I hope it’s abber for all you aberer lunatics we can get there yeah we can get there but
Um it’s it’s a fascinating format to me this week I actually had to correct myself on the podcast because I said on my SAT Sunday Morning podcast there’s no cut because it made no sense to me why there would be a cut and then I found
Out there was a cut so I had to can you imagine the can you imagine the golf people with you making mistake in golf they [ __ ] fixed their glasses and they got their [ __ ] pen out and they got their keyboard and they were over you somebody somebody told me uh
Somebody told me real quickly okay so anyway so um um Andy yeah I know I get a lot of um andies in my life um all right so Rory Sheffer uh I think there’s a good squeeze opportunity on Rory I love this golf course for Rory but you know it’s going
To be difficult for me to get off of shler Sheffer that’s going to be kind of an ownership decision for me uh we talk about we get a little bit lower um Xander hoflin hom morawa can’t lay JT’s price is bad um and aberer cult is in full force
So what do you make of the tens and the nines um I think that the difference is it’s a no cut event and aberg just finds ways to score right well no cut event I don’t think he’s gonna be one of the cuts uh he really impressed me at Pebble he is very
He is a very impressive golfer um and so you know Aber Berg Oar uh at 92 you know even even you cters who I want to go the opposite direction of I don’t think I can ignore that but pant lay right this is I’m like 93 for p Klay
95 for morawa H I can make a case for fading anyone above 10K right the problem with Rory at 112 is very little known stat very little known stat you have to dig way deep on the Google interface to find this is that he sucks he sucks he’s not I mean he’s
Just it’s like the best thing that Keith said last week by the way on the premium show Keith Stewart that was excellent because he was Paddock betting he was telling us some people that didn’t look good and he for the most part he was correct uh see Kim looked great mat Yama
You know was mat Yama he the best sunj too sunj was there are a lot of problems with our guy sunj right now the the the the thing with the thing that he said the best was you have to understand that that Ricky is just not at the level of these golfers
Anymore give up the history dude same with Hideki at this point he’s just not like the world is caught up I mean I think the Aber Bergs can C catch up to Rory at 112 as well so so the I I talked about this in a podcast I
Just recorded but I think the case for aberer is and let’s just operate and let’s get out of the ownership um frame for a second because I think he’s going to be very highly owned but the case for ab is this is an incredible Golf Course for
Him okay like I knew ludvig was good when he was winning the RSM classic and I was telling people he’s winning on golf courses that devalue what he does best just wait till he gets to Tory Pines Riviera and beill golf courses that accentuate his driver um now he is
On those golf courses and he has putted really well on POA over a small sample size like he is game Strokes putting at Tory Pines and Pebble Beach so ludvig looks far more comfortable on Polar right now than like Scotty Sheffer does or Colin marawa does or Rory doeses
Ludvig has putted really really well on on polo over the last couple of weeks uh the counterargument is ownership okay um I know there are just Jam the best play guys that’s not how I play DFS like I said our friend Kobe won um 100k with nobody over 11% in his
Lineup last week they’re going to be in this 9k range if ludvig is 25% they’re going to be Willie Wilcox should we live should we get them on live yeah you’re live right now on the show Su Jay’s caddy call you back I’m just doing a live show and you just
Called there we go real caddy info will be post I got a lot of Xander info too from the grounds too that I’ll post in the that I’ve started to post and we’ll Post in the Discord later the point I just to put a bow on the L viic thing
They’re going to be elite players above 9k like really really good players that will probably be half the ownership of of L this week so you’re gonna have to ask yourself do I look like LG double as much as I like Colin marala would I take LG minus 200 in a matchup
Over Colin morala like those are kind of the questions you’ll have to answer this week and if ludvig wins which he may I may bet him to win I don’t know I think he’s in the mix for me I love his course fit he would be the first first time
Winner here since Adam Scott in 2005 this is a golf course with like the third most sticky course history on the PGA tour now if you think ludvig is Adam Scott 2005 Adam Scott or better even better than 2005 Adam Scott I understand that argument too like he might be he
Might be 200 he might be 2012 Rory for all we know right right but I think it’s a I think it’s a fascinating decision this week I just I I think Justin Thomas is more mispriced than ludvig but it seems like more people are are all over
Ludvig this morning than JT um I like both uh but I already bet JT at at 22 to1 this morning he I don’t know is he is he in that same category of players that the world has caught up a little bit to him I know he’s playing really well but
His Sunday was again me meh right but who do you trust more right now like look at Sam Burns fair but do you trust JT or Klay hasn’t gained on approach once this year do you trust Klay or J tore Klay honest can’t or JT or morawa more morawa for
Sure especially here JT JT or hlin more right now JT yeah I think I think I think it was all them yeah I think there was some I think there was some belief or Hope from havin people because havin is such a great golfer that his short game had vastly improved
Um to the level that you need to have to conquer these really tough courses I I need I need to see more evidence of that at this point um Burns is a fantastic golfer I’m surprised he’s in the eights okay why isn’t Burns yeah why is why is
Tony F now more priced than Burns I mean and people will still play Burns uh feno excuse me um that makes no sense to me too like what more does Burns have Burns has been good at Riviera too so I don’t understand why Burns isn’t in the nine
Range and like this 8K range have you heard of have you heard about the Adam Scott movement this morning too um I think his course history here is good uh this two wins unbelievable yeah and I’ve always said there is a um there is an austa parallel here totally
Totally uh you had Bubba of course you’ve had Adam Scott um Thomas Peters used to love playing this course and I used to love watching Thomas Peters play because his swing was so incredible uh and you know he fared well at Augusta um so yeah I can get behind Adam
Scott the strangest price for me in the eights if we wanted to move there yeah um because I think the big three h morawa can’t lay I think that’s a very that’s that’s where I’m going to start no Xander for you no never never never Xander Xander um is
Like the most complete golfer on the PJ your fascination with Xander fascinates me I’m gonna let you have it it’s a data stuff like the data kills me a lot of times I I I need more Strokes G guts in my model because I’m very obviously as you know analytically based
That’s why you brought me on um but it can be a detriment to me as well and and Xander is Xander is such a complete golfer um that and my numbers think he’s like 1982 Jack Nicholas um it’s just I need to find a way to get away from him
Sweet well you know uh I think it was Damon someone was on my podcast years ago and I said does anything does anyone on tour uh outside of tiger sort of you know blow your imagination based on what he can do and they said not really except for Xander around the greens like
His his creativity and what he can do he just doesn’t miss the center of the club face ever um and he is a complete he’s he is a he’s a really good po putter um he’s good at every he’s just good at he has no weaknesses in this game um but
He doesn’t have guts he hasn’t won in in 18 months so the the and these are the not we can’t sell the short in that and a lot of of caddies have weighed in on my threads over the years when I said this um but they are the most
Difficult some of the most if not the most difficult greens to read on tour 100% 100 per. so it’s gonna it’s gonna because you’re gonna be I’m telling you right now the player that you like let’s say it’s Oar right The Cult of Oar or schafle on number 10
You’re going to get to shot three four and half feet from the hole for par and they’re going to three putt that’s just going to happen on this course on number 10 um so I think I think I I think Burns in the eights is a really complete
Golfer fenale fleetw I just won’t play uh tagala I’m gonna have to give that guy credit I mean he’s extremely good iron player and extremely good around the green yeah he’s he’s got guts I mean he’s that guy the Sunday the a trap you do okay can you make the case because I
Think a lot of people are gonna look at Camy young this week and say Camy young is back he’s on a golf course that he’s been incredible at um he hits the ball a long way off the te he’s a great long iron player um and he’s finally in form
And this is the type of golf course that cam young typically plays well at uh okay he may not be a trap that was a trap he still can’t like he still can’t it’s just gonna it’s just gonna come down to how ownership shakes out in
This range like what is the most popular build this week is it really skipping sheffler like is it really jamming spe and ludvig in um we had which we didn’t even talk about last week it’ll be skipping Sheffer it will we had this surprising flip last week
Surprising to some where Chef JT at the 11th Hour was over far more over owned than than Sheffer they were in some contest that I was in where JT was 47 48% and Sheffer was like 32 33% and a lot of that vanilla he’s vanilla exting right
Yeah a lot of that switch had to come because a lot of people looked at this and said well both of them can’t really putt so why would I play the guy at 11.5 when I could play the more fun exciting golfer that I’m betting at 11 to1 anyway at
10K and um I mean Sheffer outperformed JT last week and I faded JT and played shuffler but I’m just so fascinated if like why where people are at on Sheffer and what the build is this week because I I just don’t see Sheffer finishing worse than eighth on this golf
Course I really don’t and Rory can finish 66 year does doesn’t mean I may not play him but like ludvic can finish 32nd here all these guys like sheor can’t finish worse than eighth you can clip this and I’m gonna sound so dumb when he finishes I would say I would
Stretch it to May 12 sure that’s fine 12 Xander Xander I don’t think he finishes better than 30th but that’s just me being contrary you’re out of your mind Xander is top 10 no I just think I just think it’s tough because Fitzpatrick is interesting to me
Low owned Wham Clark always busts my brains in Adam Scott maybe a little priced um m is m is something a little he’s got the pulley got the lefties he’s got something going on on with him right now uh yeah I just I mean I just think
That I just think that starting with those two three will be the top three will be tough because you’ve got so much goodness you can have a nice balanced build this week such a good balance so who’s your highest own on the Slate on Monday morning L overall
Y uh L 100% I can feel it right now I can see it in the streets um I can see it on Twitter with all the cards if Saul is saying on Discord he’s going to play him forget it I mean you know because if if Saul likes
Him then uh you know 90% of the world will like him too so God I thought the course history truthers would come out a little bit more with this one I think people are just so enamored no cut event this guy Eagles everything he birdies he
Scores well he just does we just haven’t had a firsttime or winner Riviera since like the Bush Administration you don’t need to you don’t need to win he could be eighth he could be eighth and get there with a thousand birdies and and four Eagles at
Number one and and number one to me I have my notes on Twitter feels like the most eagled hole on tour there’s this course gives up a lot of eagles specifically on number one yeah number one should be a part four but it’s going to be a par four for the
US Open but um so if I gave you over under 27% Scotty sheffa are you taking the over or the under in the main tournament yeah $20 like let’s talk what most he’s under 27 he’s under 27 our over under by the way last week for sheffler was 39.5 he came at
39.1 yeah yeah and he was under in some over like that was the right ownership my ownership was was good last week I didn’t get the total the JT Spike on some I missed on but cheffer did what I expected JT surprised me in some contest okay so then JT
Like JT has to get ownership like how JT what did JT do wrong last week like he finished 12th he was good he gained strs in all four major categories he finished 12th in a tournament that he was supposed to win or at least top that’s the difference yeah he’s just
Been really good at Riviera um the problem here is that you have a price range where I don’t even believe he’ll be chalk uh with I think Oar will be Chalk in this price range and I think you’ve got a lot of attractive pricing in morawa Klay that people love to play
People love playing Klay I don’t think spe will be played uh yeah I was going to say who’s the lowest owned above n and part of me says hland because people are like hovland’s broken which be careful at that a lot can change with a week of practice at home I think it’s
Spe and schafle I think shle is a bad price I think he should be eight n yeah okay okay okay okay big guy uh Xander should not be eight n um and we may have to do like an over under uh no eight to nine years old in terms of his
Height community fun bet on on Xander finishing position but I’ll take Xander hom in a matchup if you want to do that if you just want to do a straight up Xander hom matchup ABS [ __ ] lutely you named the okay I don’t I don’t bet
As big as as you and JBC so I’m gonna I’m gonna keep it under thousand doll but we can talk I love it yeah hundred’s more my speed maybe um but uh so spe I think spe lowest Stone havin lowest Stone but let’s talk about um let’s
Let’s get down let’s let’s go down right like I got to give you credit I got to give you credit um a name that pops out in the sevens for his prices week considering he did well last week as Cory Connor right he wasn’t the best
Canadian Nick Taylor was yeah but he was good he was decent T25 T2 beat Bo Hustler which is all we care about at RPS yeah the I don’t know where the bo hosler narrative is coming from Hustler’s ass the ownership so I’m fine if you are the one
Pushing Bo hostler please come in our content comment section and let us know I don’t know where the source where is the uh the coordinators you’re not pay it’s the coordinators okay yeah it’s the coordinators um but but you look at look at look at who look who was absolutely a
In term of pricing this week obviously it follows the betting Market however Fowler and matama right I mean now in s matama is now a mid sevens player which is crazy in 2024 but he’s below Eric Cole he’s below Ben on that’s a that’s a I still probably won’t play matama but
Still a hefty discount it’s a little bit I will play Matsuyama at 74 um also are we not gonna talk at all about zalatoris 7.9 course history bub course history like great fit showed some signs of Life at Tory Pines I don’t think zalot Taurus
Is ready to win again but at 7.9 how is he not the highest own player in the sevens like you got to be like people are zuris is on betting cards it’s Riviera this is zator is he already people love zalatoris um before anything happened like I you know I I think this
Is I think zorus is going to be highly highly owned and it’s chalk I I may consider eating um here’s the benefit to us is that well people love hoard they love hoard love hoard with uh Oar the benefit to us is that now you get JT Poston bad week
Bad week right yeah people are gonna be done with JT Poston this week I feel there could be some opportunity there yeah right and then you get an opportunity at 78 now on of course no cut event he can score uh does does most everything well um and surprisingly sewu Kim as
Well I mean he ran out great play last week great play last week and great game I don’t know about I don’t know about will zeelot Taurus’s highest owned in the sevens I don’t know I don’t know does Nick Taylor get there Cam Davis people love this guy someday it will pop Cam
Davis and they’re in the comment sections now yeah I I like Cam Davis a lot this you’re yeah there it is there’s the there’s your ownership is scam Davis I like Cam Davis a lot this week from a data perspective um yeah so I think zorus is gonna get a lot
Of love at 7.9 um and you know I think it gets pretty bleak once we get down here um personally this feels like a really you know obviously there’s 70 guys in the field so you know what I I would have priced this tournament like so much differently I would have priced like
Less guys above 9k and it would have put them higher up and then I would have also put more guys below 7.5 it’s just I don’t like the way they did this they trailing the betting market right and and I I want to see the adjustments in
The betting market right now after it’s been after it’s been released so I assume that um like gazal tus is being hit hard I assume as Sam Burns is being hit hard the first day that popped out of my brain in before pricing was release I
Release was like I I really like Sam Burns as a golfer um I will say this we got to pause here for a second because we talked about this before the show what we don’t do enough is tell the people watching to like And subscribe smash that like
Button guys Smash It smash it destroy your computer with a hammer yes smash that like button um we don’t do that enough because we don’t do that enough because to be honest with you Wy um I hate we’ve been I hate pumping [ __ ] too I think it’s a little corny but we’ve

Teed it up for you and you said he’s in the zone it’s Val that’s that’s the after hours RPS um okay so like favorite guys below 7.5 let’s finish up there can I go in the sixes too yeah anybody below 7.5 let me tell you let me tell you let me tell
You because I become a truther I hated this guy forever uh I never wanted to play him but I’m telling you the i i i i eyeballed the entire list looking for plays I would like and like last week you know Vegas again Vegas course history last week that number stood out
To me uh stalling stood out to me and he killed me the name that stands out to me in the same sort of vein is bandah Hood uh CZ I love that didn’t think you were there I’d love great iron player great around the green yeah I think he’s
Perfect for this course and then let me look at this course history has he played it before probably 12 Mis Cuts uh uh he played last year he may he’s 58th um I think it’s a safe price for a Banda Hut at 67 and I know exactly where
You’re going I know exactly where you’re going you’re going to Canadian next yeah I’m goingon going senson yeah listen here’s the thing about senson senson had the wrong side of the draw um and he leapt out on 17 uh to miss the cut by one now he returns to a golf course that
Senson finished Ninth at Riviera last year okay ninth top 10 at Riviera uh and he uh he hit the ball well the irons continue to be great like I I love spencon F at Riviera 6.6 that’s my favorite play senson and Cameron Davis uh Andy laac favorites for
The brand are my favorite guys under 7.5 what’s Tiger’s ownership over under 5% oh over over I think yeah I think I think U 71 no 65 he’s not gonna play badly right uh he’s not gonna be the miscut is he you think his floor is pretty
Low yeah I think he has the lowest floor in the entire field that doesn’t mean he’s going to finish last in the entire field it’s just when I run my simulation based off my projections tiger finishing tiger having a bad week is the most outcome compared
To any other golfer in the field doesn’t mean it’s going to happen yeah well it’s just we don’t have any like we don’t have any action like Sam Ryder is a really good player and he’s 6K Sam Ryder’s good um I’m surprised he’s less he’s a Chase Johnson levels what that’s
Kind of an insult to Sam Ryder Sam Ryder’s good I played him 6K peev Beach and and and he was finished middle of the pack so you know like said I I’m rooting for Tiger I don’t need to have a scent on tiger to cheer on his happiness
Um to be happy if he has success I should say so you hate tiger okay right that I love tiger I’m not gonna watch him at Riviera this week because you don’t need to watch you know I don’t need those crowds I’d rather watch the
Guys I play with no crowds but like the low sixes this week Glover motivated after missing his team time um coocher great course history Kevin Yu like great player we love Kevin Yu okay um and Chuck Hoffman mck Hughes Nick Dunlop wins a tournament tiger you know has it
It’s done a lot more than tiger so from a data perspective no tiger for me but um I I wish him the best I hope he plays well this week that’d be awesome for La like it’d be a it’d just be awesome for golf if tiger if tiger is relevant um that’s
The best outcome for all parties involved okay I don’t care if you’re a LIF fan or a PGA Tour fan or you just like going to a simulator and if you’re a Bost and common fan like Tiger Woods squeezing anything more that we
Can from him out of golf is is good so I I hope I hope that he plays well this week I I I do I wouldn’t bet on it you know it’ be funny what because that’s a window to your right right that’s a blind being pulled down right yeah right okay it’d
Be funny wait no no no no no it’d be funny if you pulled that up and Natalie was like pressed to the window keeping an eye on Andy she’s uh she’s she’s actually driving back to Davis today um because she was here with me this morning last
Question for you before we get out of here you big Valentine’s Day guy is a holiday like where does it rank in the holiday Pantheon for you overrated underrated properly rated like where are you at on Valentine’s Day I’ve been married 21 years have you really congratulations man 47 years old
I didn’t know you’ve been married you look great for 47 um yeah it’s called peptides cigarettes men’s it’s called Botox as many people in the chat have mentioned Wy wy’s on his seventh face left Botox and face peels no it’s called eating the same thing every
Day no red meat for you right no red meat uh ton of green vegetables um limited gluten not a lot of sugar uh yeah rubber lights good for you um I will I will say that it ranks pretty low I mean my daughters like it I guess um well your
Your daughters are are your daughters dating yet I feel like your daughters are too young to date they’re not dating yet I’m protect that I know of that I know of that I know of because Dad’s intimidating right right where’s your where’s your wife at in terms of
Valentine’s Day at this point we’re just like 21 years in yeah yeah just just stay away from me more so than like she’s like that to me like just stay away get the [ __ ] away from me mouth you NOS Whistler um no uh I think I think it’s okay but
For you though for you yeah because you’re still in the cording stuff and holding hand stuff and here’s some flower stuff I mean there’s some expectations so what are you doing for Valentine’s Day anything special we um we went to a great restaurant in Malibu over the weekend um called Jeff is is
Phenomenal um and just a nice um you know nothing nothing crazy but um you know there will probably be some stuff sent to because we won’t the actual Valentine’s is Wednesday um you know she’s behind that window right now Wednesday that I will will spent in in
Uh writing articles and doing shows for my day job um so you know just I I I I would say that I think that uh there’s probably two high expectations on that holiday for the general public but I think if you are really happy in a in a
Nice happy relationship and you know that it can be it could be a wonderful time to celebrate that yeah I agree yeah okay you’re lucky enough to surround yourself with a few people that are there with you when you’re on your last breaths you survived
