Hey yes I say can’t hear you I’ve muted us I’ve been all professional I’ve muted as while the thing played I forgot to unmute us which is a a major drawback anyway I was about to say or I was saying hello late tea time PS around the
World a new slot for us Thursday morning slot this week um DT’s B schedule that stopped us from actually being on yesterday but hello and welcome we’re looking at two tournaments this week the Arnold Palmer and the Puerto Rico open DT how are you yeah good thanks yeah I
Was working late last night on the football so we had to get it in this morning but uh at least uh I’ve actually got a bit of extra news having waited so sometimes it pays off doesn’t it patience can be a virtue um I’ve been watching the um full swing the new full
Swing series on Netflix watched about five of them yesterday it’s actually better the first season I think yeah um they go back to a few of the people they they went with in the first one um but yeah there’s a few there’s a really nice one where um Matt F Matt Fitzpatrick is
Back but he’s back playing second fiddle to his brother and they basically got an an episode where it’s all about Alex um and his um trying to kind of jump out the shadows of his older brother and all the success he’s had and they Chronicle him having a bit of a disastrous
Tournament and then qualifying for the open and having a great open open week so yeah that’s a really that’s a really nice one there’s a really good part of it he’s walking in to a tournament and some um he’s got his cap on and everything and uh some kid shouts out
Can I have your cap Matt and he just like chunts under his breath if he’ called me Alex he probably could have had it but yeah it’s worth worth the look everybody and there I know you’ve got some tips this week but I’ve got one as
Well um because um off the back of watching it yesterday I’ve got a tip which I’ll squeeze in at some stage but we will um have a look then at the Arnold Palmer and the uh price is going across the bottom of the screen there Scotty Sheffer 13-2 Rory maroy is 9 to1
Victor my mate 16 to1 Ander chaet 18 Patrick Klay the same ly abber is 20 to1 Jordan spe 25 Tommy Fleetwood 28 and Justin Thomas is 28 as well colar cow my mate is 28 too the rest are obviously bigger um DT we always leave it as late
As we can you get your big gargantuan golfing brain around all of the news and rumors and press conferences where does that lead us this week with the Arnold Palmer yeah on the outrights um there’s a plenty that appeal I guess I do like Sam Burns I must admit but the one that
Sort of come to me later in the day um is Kurt kitama the defending Champion okay he um won it last year with nine under it’s just it’s a funny tournament this one if you look down the list of winners tiger won it eight times but then you’ve got these slightly curious
Back-to-back winners you got Lauren Roberts in I think 93 94 9495 and on the second one of those I dreamt he I dreamt he was going to win it yeah so desperately trying to have a dream last night to to see who could win but we don’t want to be delving into your
Sworded dreams yeah there was no golf involved I have to say um but um so yeah so Lauren Roberts went it back to back then Matt Evy went it back to back and I was like that’s a bit odd isn’t it so there’s a nice little kind of history there that
Kyama could tap into but but more than that um he’s been playing really well this year they interviewed him um earlier in the week and he just said normally starts the season slowly but he’s been quite impressed that he’s come out fairly fast and consistent he was eighth in Phoenix
A couple of tournaments ago I don’t think he’s finished worse than maybe 39th and he he puts that down to he started working with Chris Koo new coach and said he’s kind of eliminated the big Miss he’s more consistent in his game and he’s got a good record in Florida as
Well he was third in the Honda class the cognizant now it’s now called so there’s lots to like about him this week so he’s a big priz I think you can get about 70 to one yeah 80 to1 six places 70 to1 if you uh want seven or 66 to one if you
Want seven places yeah so he he’s the one I just think that’s a really big price I know it’s a great field and everything but there’s only 69 players in the field I know it’s quality not quantity but um I just think in that price in this
Field it is for that number of players is good and I also like him for first round leader so add that in as well because okay when he did win here last year he was second after round one and then in the 2022 uh Honda cognizant he was the first
Round leader so he’s he’s good at making quick starts in Florida so again he’s he’s worth a looking that market I think a uni bet 66 to one might be the best place for that yeah he’s uh yeah 66 to1 uni and with a couple of others as well
But uni bet is the the first on the list yeah so 66 to1 for him to be the first round leader as well um I can I throw in my bet yeah I do I’m intrigued this is off the full swing thing we we when we
Watched it last year um there were a few players who you kind of watched and you thought kind of nothing new there or oh he’s a bit more boring than I thought or whatever but there was a few Tony Fel was a stand out wasn’t he um and we had
A couple of others um matey boy I forgot his name the one that plays in the sun hat um Jo Damon yeah had a child didn’t he um he’s really struggled since it because he was saying that he um he got famous off the back of full swing off
The back of shooting 78 or something um and um he would prefer to be famous for actually winning golf tournaments and he’s had a had 12 months of a real struggle obviously a new family which is taking his time and there was a lot of chat with in that episode of him um
Speaking speaking to a sports psychologist and he was very reluctant to do it and they kind of J deposed him alongside Windam Clark who had um spent about 12 months speaking to a sports psychologist and ended up winning a major um so he basically at the end of
It he he kind of um says he’s going to speak to a sport psychologist and try to get himself on the right lines but what my favorite episode was Tom Kim um young Lads massive smile they kind of chronicled him you remember him limp through the open doing really well at
The open but limping through it he’d really hurt himself he comes across as a really good bloke um and I think he’s going to get some big wraps and a big reception in the next few tournaments from the the locals and that might just give him a bit of a
Phillip yeah um you’ve got to sort of yeah we up the timing of the release of this program and and as you said if it’s just come out then yeah he could feel a little bump from that yeah finished joint runner up in that open Championship didn’t he so um he’s some
Player isn’t he’s got all these wins there’s some stars in there where he’s got only Tiger Woods was quicker to three wins or something like that so yeah he’s some player what odds has he done this week 55 to one right yeah which is um yeah yeah I know he’s maybe
Not been in devastating form but I don’t think he would have expected to get over 50 to one on him um like a few months ago or back at the back end of last year it’s quite interesting actually he’s hanging around with the likes of Jordan
SP and Justin Thomas and stuff off the CLA pla practice rounds with them and they’re kind of like treating him as the kind of like younger brother kind of thing and making jokes about he’s he’s 12 he can go in the crash or someu and he’s got he’s kind of laughing along but
He’s actually getting frustrated by it because he wants to be treated seriously and then he he does really well in the open and obviously then people start to kind of well they’re already treating him seriously they they only taken the Mickey because they they like him and
Can see his potential but he’s um yeah he comes across really well on it I I liked him you’ve sold me on that I will I will watch it I kind of I don’t know I watched the first one I thought don’t know one the first first
One’s very live heavy isn’t it the first series yeah yeah the first episode of this one’s very live heavy it’s got um kind of the Fallout of them well kind of picks up on the kind of separation and then it picks up on them then trying to come back together and the announcement
Which kind of they’re all going um excuse my French everybody what the going on kind of thing at the start of it looking at their phones and in the cars and everything and then um the um Rory is basically kind of he’s very um Rory Dustin Johnson and Brook
Kepka are very heavy in the the early stages of this series when they’re kind of their reactions to what’s going on but um yeah I mean no spoiler alerts in that because you all know what’s going on out there anyway but it’s still still yet to be decided Ed in many ways though
Is it that’s story that remains to be unfolded yeah no I’ll I’ll give that a watch now I think you’ve s promp giv me the push I needed I think yeah anyway back to you you got some matchs yeah quite exciting set of M quite a lot of press conferences this
Week so there’s quite a lot to Wade through and just little bits jumped out pros and cons for certain people so put together a match bet 72 whole match bet treble okay um of which I’ll tell you about now um first one is sorry James Patrick canl to beat Colin
Morawa well yeah like that the most boring man on the planet against my favorite well so you I don’t know you if you watched Genesis where um Klay had a a kind of good lead and then he just sort of dulled his way to the Finish can
You remember I said ahead of that um why is Patrick can lay always at the top end of the the prices because he’s never won anything then he got off of a fly didn’t he yeah watches the late T Time Podcast and use it as uh motivation but it
Emerged he was really sort of flat on the weekend he thought oh I wonder why he’s what’s going on there it emerged that he had flu at the Genesis and um he talked about that in his press conference this week he says there was there was flu going around in LA and I
Got sick on Friday night I was just drained I didn’t any energy um people will say it looks like that all the time but um there was certainly something looked a bit kind of this is a bit all a bit kind of flatten putting even slower underwhelming and
Slow um but I think it was a a valid excuse he run out of gas but let’s not forget he still finished fourth there at a big week was and then that followed from followed on from 11th at Pebble Beach so he’s he’s basically he’s in really good Nick again he played this
Event for the first time last year and was fourth so he’s got Co form to go with that current form and then he’s up against Mora in in a match bet Mor car was form here is a bit kind of patchy um he’s got a ninth but either side of that
His other two finishes were 64th and Miss cut so I don’t know it’s quite his best place and then just kind of comparing their sort of head-to-head records klay’s beat him in the last two at Rivier Riviera and so I just think Klay is a a solid bet
And just with that extra little bit of angle that he had flu yeah last time I think he’s he’s fit and healthy again this time what price is Patrick I think he’s four to five okay the second one you’re gonna hate me even more so Xander
Chaffle to bit Victor Hy Dave Tindle I know I’m not doing this on purpose but um but this seems to be valid reasons quite interesting if you watching Colin and and Victor this has got nothing to do with me no Victor was um well he won’t be watching because he’s trying to
Work out his swing so he was interviewed yesterday Wednesday and said it’s been a bit frustrating so far this year feel like my swing hasn’t been quite as good it has been in previous years so he’s trying to work it out and it sounds like he’s still working it out um he actually
Said good people say oh I bet it was at its best last year when he was winning everything and he said no I preferred my swing in 2021 he was looking at old videos so he’s kind of seems to be a bit searching I know golf is always I I see
It in cricket a lot I reckon people when they start to maybe not quite get the success that they were getting they start to look for the reasons and they some people are o overthink it Victor might be an overthinker and he maybe is going into it too deep because basically
Ultimately Cricket Golf and and other sports with sticks and balls are basically just hitting us ball aren’t they yeah and some I mean I I think um keeping it simple is probably the best thing rather than looking for a looking for too much at times because there’s so
So many moving parts of a golf swing that you can maybe get a little bit bogged down and let it consume you well and it sounds like it is consuming him because um I think he pulled out of a couple events and he was asked why and
He said um I don’t really want to fight through something while playing it’s just not that fun I don’t see the point of it so you could say that’s smart but on another level it’s maybe just like you say overthinking and and just trying to find that
Perfection again and it’s never going to be there’s going to be highs and lows and and swings and and I think he’s you know maybe should just let it happen a little bit rather than try and Hammer it out and find the magic solution so price
What price and yes he’s up against Ander shaff and who sounds very different in his his kind of assessment he said just got to keep on keeping on is kind of what I’m doing right now so he’s just sort of gliding along look at his results four top 10 in his five starts
This season so he’s playing well everywhere I know he’s not got a great record at at Bay Hill where hovin has got a good record recently 24th and 39th for Shuffle but he just seems more kind of at ease with his golf game at the minute that’s that’s one of the things
That came out when they took him to Damon on the uh um the full swing thing he’s just not enjoy he wasn’t enjoying his golf his Cali you know his ball Cali that’s got famous through the full swing thing as well getting so frustrated because they just rocking up and just
Accepting missing cuts and uh it was just becoming a real bind whereas kind of you playing golf for a living it should be fun shouldn’t it yeah and yeah that that quote shuffler I mean he’s a laidback character shuffler but just keep on keeping on it just sounds like
Yeah he’s just going along nicely so it just sounded like a more solid proposition position so I think he’s about even money but we’ll I’ll give you I’ll give you this kind of trouble price in in a second okay before you give me the third one what we’ll do is we’ll
Play we’ll play um our sponsors advert okay tease it then yeah because uh we are always indebted to uh the guys at Splash as your round sinks beneath the surface is never a good sound but golf courses rely on water to keep those Fairways and greens Lush for that post round shower or the clean glass at the 19th Hall golf courses indeed most businesses spend way too much money on
Their water bills switch water suppliers can cut your water costs and help your business save money register now at Supply and claim money back if you’ve been overcharged switchwatch Made Simple so thank you very much to switchwatch Made Simple pick number three then we’ve got Patrick canan’s
Under chaet already on the treble who’s the third choice yeah so this is the one where I’m kind of glad I waited to do this in the morning rather than last night so it’s Adam Scott to beat Hideki matama um so the last time we saw matama
He played that incredible final round at Riviera shot 62 stormed through to win there um and you could look at that and think wow he’s he’s gonna you know take Everyone by storm again and he’s is in incredible form but I don’t know I think he’ll he’ll do well to match that and
He’s his record at Bay Hill is really odd um looking at it he’s had no top 15s in his last seven visits then he was interviewed yesterday and he says for whatever reason this has been a place I’ve never really played well so I’m figuring out how to overcome those
Issues so sounds like a bit he knows he’s aware of this a bit confused then the other thing he says um which is pretty relevant he said my back has been a bit sore the past four or five days so that’s been a bit tough now we’ve seen
Him struggle with his neck before he does get a lot of niggles and he’s he’s not Avers to kind of 18 H and then see you later and withdraw so there a couple of doubts over him whereas and if you playing a match bet you want to take him
On with someone who’s really consistent Adam Scott is absolutely that this year or the last few months he’s had seven straight top 20s five of those have been top 10 he’s twice finished third at Bay Hill so Scott does look a really kind of solid reliable customer this week where
Matt siama just seem um I know he’s got that win at Riviera but but perhaps unlikely that he can continue that with his poor course for and that kind of back issue that seems to be just concerning him and he’ll have the Masters in mind I mean the Masters
Is next month it’s hard to believe how quick that’s come around so I think if there’s any doubts about things he wants to play in that tournament again because he you know he won it in 2021 so it’s just some it’s just it’s a word of
Warning as well I mean if you’re back in Hideki in the outrights it’s just kind of a word of warning that there are some you know negatives on him this week so Adam Scott goes in what price is Adam to beat hii I think about evens but that
Treble yeah is 6.2 to one with bet 365 okay so that’s Patrick kander chaet Adam Scott to be Colin mower Victor hofland and hii matama respectively is that everything for Arnold Palmer you got anything else up we sleeve no that’s all for Arnold Palmer so shall we switch
Across then the Puerto Rico open is the other uh um tournament that we’re looking forward to Ras Rasmus quard is the favorite for that one 16 to1 Daniel berer is 20s and Christopher gotterup is 22s and Aaron Ry is 28 DT yeah just just a really quick spin
Through this I must admit I haven’t gone into great depth but keeping it simple the highest ranked player in the field this week in the world on the world rankers is Robert McIntyre okay who’s just been on Europe’s winning Rider Cup team now he’s 35 to one so so he’s the
Highest ranked player in the field you could argue on that if you basing it on world rankings he should be you know 14 to one favor or something like that um so so you think well what’s what’s not what’s going wrong why why is he not
Shorter in the betting and yeah his form has been a bit in and out but just two starts ago he was SI six in the Mexico open and there are some similarities between these two I guess they’re both outside of the us obviously um they’re near that’s kind of the coast and they
Both use paspalum green so given the fact that he’s played well in Mexico and it does correlate well with this event in Puerto Rico I think he’s overpriced well overpriced McIntyre I think he’s you know his best if he’s if he can get that putter going a little bit better he
Could easily win this definitely like him and then the other one um that I like this week for the outrights is Ben Silverman he’s been popped up on a few leader boards in the last couple of weeks 13th in Mexico again um that bod well uh for the for the ppum grass and
Actually he was first in putting in Mexico so he did put those Pas balum greens there really really well and the maybe just as impressive he was 16th at the cognizant classic last week in Florida in a yeah much tougher kind of assignment so 13th and 16th in two
Different tests I think he’s he’s he’s playing really well so again it’s I think I’m slightly leaning more on current form at the minute because of the strange amount of winners we’ve had I’ve had some really strange winners on the PGA tour this season and a lot of
Them have being in sort of good form and they’re kind of kind of ripping up um the kind of established Elite of what they’re doing so anyone who’s in good form I think people do use that as the first kind of criteria anyway but anyone in good form like Silverman 13th and
16th I’m sort of giving him raising him a not and some of that for does correlate well so he’s what have we got for him well playing well is usually quite handy isn’t it it is but yeah but sometimes people look for all the other factors and think
Well maybe his stats weren’t so good or he’s not played his course well before but but yeah say Ben Silverman what what odds 40 to1 DT yeah so that’s fine again I say it is like an opposite event it’s all the big guns are playing in Bay Hill
So it’s a good chance for the likes of maybe McIntyre or Silverman to get a first win yeah you can e out I mean obviously you all know betting out there the um it’s like for example Robert McIntyre DT mentioned 35 to1 that’s five places with bet 365 you can get six
Places if you drop to 33 to one so you basically it’s up to you it’s your it’s however you fancy out there but Robert McIntyre B Silverman go on to our betting slips for Port Rico DT thank you very much as always is that everything from you have you got everything off
Your chest that’s all that’s all I have yes um so thank you very much to DT as always thank you out there everybody for watching as well I’ll just run through just I’ll do a summary of what we’ve we’ve tipped up this week I’ve gone Tom
Kim you can take with a pinch of salt but I’ve watched full swing and he’s very nice 55 to one I’m sure he’ll get some some love as he goes into that tournament but Kurt cama for DT 80 to1 um six places 66 to1 seven places first
Round leader 66 to1 for him and then the match Trel can L to beat Mora chaet to beat hovland and Scott to beat matama is around about 6.2 to one with bet 365 and then across to Puerto Rico Robert McIntyre 35 to1 and Ben Silverman 40 to
One those two are carrying our cash there D beautifully beautifully summed up James well done thank you very much and if you want to follow us on twit at late tea time pod this has been a Sports Broadcast media production and as always as always as always please always gamble
