i’ been getting dirty money Jordan Bing
Penny while I’m flipping these
[Music]
birding what is going on DJ Nation Kenny
Kim here bring you another fantasy golf
General podcast this week for the zerge
classic as usual as usual I am here with
everybody’s favorite South African Byron
lyu Byron I almost a Tyler Byron what is
up my friend you know when you said that
as well Kenny I was like you he going to
say Tyler terine because that’s usually
what like comes right into my head like
right off say take me a little bit of
time because I’m up every week for about
300 weeks oh yeah so it’s gonna take a
little bit of time I’m have to be sure
I’m everybody’s favorite favorite South
African just so that you can maybe say
that twice and change your little
thought process there but good catch
Kenny fun week last week as always the
nail in the coffin Scotty Sheffer never
him in DFS you know just he’s killing me
he’s killing me
Kenny uh before I move on the show is
brought to you by Underdog fantasy he’s

stuff let’s talk about Underdog we
started off last week with a nice little
bang in our first uh Underdog play of
the year I hit my three of three you hit
your two of two I know there were people
out there that combine
get five of five for some big ass money
uh so that was a really nice start to
the year uh for the underdog fantasy
little segment Brion and I are gonna be
doing every week except this one because
there is no underground lines as of now
I don’t know if they’re doing it for the
Zerg classic or not uh we’ll see we’ll
get we’ll get to that area and we’ll
talk about that a little to see if
they’re going to do it or not and if
they do we’ll come up with a couple of
things to help you guys out but let’s
talk about last week um yeah he’s just
doing his damn thing right I mean he
went out
there Tuesday or like Tuesday or
Wednesday right played like nine holes
yeah I think Wednesday played like nine
holes got there on Wednesday played nine
holes didn’t even see the front n yeah
before he went out and played like for
real went out on Thursday minus two sort
of mediocre for him but for anybody else
who like showed up Wednesday at like 400
pm to to to practice for the round uh
the going to play a tournament are going
to play I mean probably solid and then
each day just got better and better and
better and ended up whooping everyone’s
asses basically your call of betting
Scotty if you’re gonna bet Scotty bet
him about to win by four right I mean do
you know what that number was last week
I’ve been struggling to find that bet at
books because they don’t want you to
Parlay them together unfortunately but I
know Jeff fineberg you know betting
Victor by a field goal is his thing so
maybe we can chat to him and kind of
figure out where to go for that but
every time he wins Kenny it’s by usually
by four or five Strokes man it’s just
what he
does yeah I mean I didn’t even watch
Sunday like when he was up like what I I
woke up played golf in the morning I
played golf two days in a row right the
second day I literally felt like I was
gonna die that’s out of the shape I am
I’m gonna try and get May I’m gonna try
and lose a little bit of this weight
that I have gained back after losing 15
pounds I gained April April stop now
yeah after stop after uh I stopped doing
the excise I lost 15 bounds doing during
the Walmart Walmart
no walking exercise uh stop doing that
for a month and a half and gain 20
pounds back so yeah awesome why why
Kenny what happened what did did you get
K I was super busy I had like you know
I’m the only estimator in my company so
I got a lot of [ __ ] to do so sometimes I
can’t even leave the office leave my
chair um but now I got a little bit more
time we got some jobs in so I’m should
be able to be doing that here more often
than not trying to lose some of that
weight because man I was struggling up
there in the course uh the second time I
played by the by by the back n my body
was S I was like I just played 30 20 a
golf it’s not and I drove a c I was like
why do I hurt this B I’m like I’m so out
of shape I got to make sure I change
that up so may we’re going to try by the
end of May I’m going to try and get down
I’m at 255 right now trying to get down
to 240 240 by May 30th we’ll see I don’t
know we’ll see uh but we’ll see how that
goes but yeah the tournament in itself I
mean the thing is the leaderboard going
into the weekend is pretty good you know
like sheffler like wasn’t I don’t even
know if he was in the lead yet you had
like Rory and Xander like you know you
down like 20th Place or of sneaking up
you had more power up there um he had
some good golfers uh in the mix it was
some good golf being played and this guy
that just came in on the weekend just
decided to drop the ham um and do his
thing it’s going to be tough for people
to beat him now especially with that
putter is if he putts the way he putts
he’s never gonna
lose it’s it’s just that simple he’s so
good ball striking and he’s so smart
about his mistakes that the only way
he’s going to lose is if he putter gives
up to him again yeah I I think I I don’t
see I don’t see a way for him I mean his
ball striking is his ball striking it’s
been so good for so long that can we can
we expect it to make a decline anytime
soon when it’s been this good for this
long this is I think it’s Norm when it
comes to ball striking it’s is normal
status quo it’s status quo I best got he
in round three for bugy free round and
he was over a seven footer for par and
the reason I’m betting buy free is now
because the p is working again that
seven putter it rolled through the front
door baby you know like two three months
ago that was never happening you know
like that was gu B yeah it wouldn’t even
hit the cop right yeah so this just got
see from about it yeah the only thing I
see from him bringing him down that part
goes down as long as part plays like
this I mean we could we could see some
wild ass [ __ ] can imagine becomes a good
four months imagine he starts pting like
well yeah well I mean I think he G like
three Strokes last week too right
yeah start gaining like five six you
know like every now I mean look if he if
he just positive Strokes gain this going
yes won by four strokes let’s say let’s
say if you won by go go ahead my bad no
that’s I’m just saying like if it
turn if you turnning hising yeah that’s
what I’m saying he he won by four
strokes right uh and he I think he gain
like three strok spting so if he gained
zero strok spting still would W yeah
still would have w still
one so I I mean I really don’t know what
to say about all that other than that I
really didn’t watch too much of the
event once the weekend got out of going
uh especially on Sunday because of
Scotty and me being in pain and the Caps
sucking ass on Wednesday but at least we
made the playoff we made the playoffs we
made the playoffs [ __ ] the penguins [ __ ]
the Detroit Red Red Wings so we made the
playoffs but uh anything else capture
your eye for last week before we move on
uh just the fact that the Winnipeg Jets
have got two more playoff wins than the
New York Jets since I’ve been in New
York Jets fan so lots of fun stuff going
on there in the hockey front I think I
saw that as a I didn’t even know
Winnipeg had a team still why I why did
I think they didn’t have a team I’m just
I I saw jets for NHL and I just threw
one of peg in front of it I’m not even
entirely sure I’m sure it is the funny
thing is I watch I watch the Caps all
the time I have no idea about any other
team in the NHL like no no clue once’s
the capure out of the playoffs I just
don’t even want I wouldn’t even be able
to tell you who wins the St the Cup this
year that’s how much I care about the
rest of League uh but uh let’s move on
no Underdog segment today but here’s the
thing I will say um of course if you if
if they do bring something up right uh
it’s what is it like 5:30 right now on
Monday they don’t have anything up uh
for the Zur classic if they end up
putting something there I mean I would
think that you would go ahead and focus
more
on best ball days over uh higher birdies
lower
Bogies uh all shot Days lower birdies
higher Bogies I mean simple uh but I
mean that’s usually the way it goes in
those type of events uh we’ll see what
the uh what the lower higher number is
if they do do something for um the
Zurich but I mean if it’s like seven
birdies or less I mean you’re going
You’re Going more for every best ball
thing that you want right I mean like
let touch based on what you’re talking
about with basball and and Alternate
shot Kenny cuz if there’s I’m assuming
people that listen to this know but do
you have an easy way to describe how the
two
differ oh you want me to do best ball is
going to be a a teammate the two
teammates to go out there play their own
ball best score wins of the two for each
hole okay all shot is your your golfer
hits one one off the te the teammate
hits the next shot the other hits the
next shot you rotate like that but every
T box is rotated as well so if Camry T’s
off one Xander’s going to tee off two k
is going to tee off three no matter how
the hole ends you know what I’m saying
so they’re always going to rotate and
and that’s a big thing when you look at
when you’re looking at DFS this week too
because you got like shitty Putters and
stuff like that you could calculate like
when the guy should putt when the guy
shouldn’t putp like all the part threes
are odd holes right so you would want
like probably your best fter to be the
second guy on the par Theses right so
you have your best part of play the odd
number odd number holes have your best
iron player or best driver of the ball
uh play play the um the even number uh
you know PO on the EV number that that’s
what I would think I don’t know uh you
know there’s different strategies like I
said this is the first time I’ve I’ve
played dis event either DFS or gamly
since like 2019 so like I I have no clue
really mean we usually skip this week
right but Byron had some had some
tidbits and we want to get by and out
here some more on the show so we’re
going to do a little episode do you have
any tidbits going into this week oh yes
so what Patrick kley and Xander sharley
last year in the alternate shot
outscored themselves in the bestas ball
format right that’s just yes they G they
scored more birdies and better score
last year in the alternate shots than
they did best super rare has to be super
rare right super rare yeah okay their
combination of game Patrick C’s driving
and Zander’s long iron play at this golf
course it it makes for a Frankenstein of
a pairing because they Elite off the te
is kley Elite on the long isons is
Xander then once you get close to the
green they’re both incredible right so
this is the problem with them and I’m
not surprised that they did it because
that’s the combo of the guys that would
be able to do that you know I think
where we’re going to struggle and where
the variability comes in is with like a
Dylan woo and Justin lower who the hell
even really knows what those two guys
can do but they could easily on any
given day make more birdies than Patrick
cley and Xander
sharley in the best ball right because
you can literally only make call it 18
birdie and still shoot 18 under par but
in basball your team can also make 18
birdies and only shoot nine
underpar because if you’re making two
birdies on the same hole the same hole
you counting one so it’s a such a
crapshoot when it comes to these guys
like it’s just when your partner makes a
birdie versus when you don’t and you
know I think we call that dovetailing in
in the golf terms and it’s how you
dovetail and projecting and predicting
dovetailing is impossible you know it’s
just a a variability in a luckbox
factor all right so before we move on to
fully this week let’s go ahead and pay

all right so let’s talk about this week
let’s go over the courts first off uh
the P tour moves to uh Louisiana golfers
play the Zerg classic uh at TBC
Louisiana in Avendale about 25 miles
from Bourbon Street funny story I got
accepted to to Lane when I was in um
when I was in high school I was thinking
about being a doctor God good God
imagine me being a [ __ ] doctor die
all all over the place I a m of grades
out of me too people are dying all every
episode I’m like y I would have killed
him I would have killed him anyways I
wanted I thought about being a doctor uh
so I’m Korean a a thought that every
parent digs into every Korean child’s
head drct lawyer some [ __ ] um so you
know I was at 2A so had a steep into to
Lan um it wasn’t that expensive I mean
it was a little expensive it was
probably like 30 grand a year I even
back then in what
1998 um but it was a fem minute trolley
ride to to Bourbon Street and I thought
to myself at that point in time you know
I’ve been skipping school and high
school like I I’ve been you know driving
the DC grabbing weed I was getting
[ __ ] up all the time uh drinking all
weekend stuff like that and so I was
like damn if I go down to T I probably
drink myself to death so I was like I’ll
save my parents some money went to
Blacksburg instead you know I ended up
still almost myself to death but you I
guess it was maybe cheaper I don’t know
I don’t know instead of going to the
bars all the time on Bourbon Street
going to like Frank parties and stuff
like that maybe it was cheaper I don’t
know but anyways let’s go on um uh this
is the seventh time I think seventh or
eighth time that’s hosted the Bor uh the
um the team competition it hosted a
normal stroke play event 11 times prior
uh TPC Louisiana
7,400 um 25 yard par 72 four par 3es
four par fivs uh this P that design
course U used to be one of the easiest
stroke play courses on tour each year
with winning these course ranging from
um minus5 to minus 20 hasn’t really
changed that much since the team
competition started still easy a lot of
short par fours and all the par FS
should be reachable into by most golfers
off the te golfers are going to face
Fairways that are above average and
width many of them being treelined
bunkers of all shapes and sizes
including small pot bunkers and
humongous Fairway bunkers we’ll be
waiting for golf offers who H aant t-
shots uh speaking of humongous bunkers
the faite bunker on 15 is over 150 yards
long pretty big bunker the roughest
thick but on over bearing and water
Willam play on eight holes uh the greens
use um Bermuda grass I do not think
there’s over seat this week I think it’s
straight pure B grass don’t quote me on
that I could be wrong but that’s what
I’m thinking um the green the greens are
some of the easiest on to the put on uh
in the stroke play you ge there were
less three putts than almost most than
most courses on tour and the make rate
inside five to 10 feet was higher than
most other courses on tour as well um
you so we’ll see I mean shitty Putters
of one year uh one thing I don’t really
like doing is getting like two shitty
Putters on the same team but there’s a
bunch of those like what do you do with
those uh Byron like when you see guys
that are like 135th in the field in shks
game putting pairing up with somebody
who like 148 in the field in ster game p
there a couple of those uh do you just
stay clear even though the pting on
those course is easy I have no idea K
it’s all price dependent I would imagine
you know we can kind of check and see
which which guys you kind of speaking
about exactly what the rest of their
game does if they’re like top 10 both in
tto green play yeah why not why not you
know one of them is going to have a good
fighting week hopefully and you know you
can expect the ball striking to continue
so I think it’s all like relevant to the
rest of their games and just Vibes I
feel I feel like this week more so than
ever you got to throw a bit more Maniac
in the mix versus the model man because
it’s these team events you know like
it’s like okay I can see this pairing
having like if you and me played in a in
a team event Kenny we’re going to have
the ultimate like our chemistry is going
to be through the roof you know like no
one will have more fun than us all all
let me tell you something let me tell
you something we would lose we’d lose I
play like ass we would [ __ ] lose our
BAS so [ __ ] hor right now we’ shot
above our BAS just because of our
chemistry
you know better scrambles let’s go about
the rules before we go DFS a little
different right so you see when you look
on your DFS board let’s look at the top
you got CLE and X you can only play one
of them you can’t play two guys on the
same team in your line got to be
separate so just make sure you don’t
make that mistake I don’t think they’ll
let you I don’t know if they will maybe
they will but yeah you just can’t use to
the same same guys on your team all the
guys on a single team same price so
you’re just basically picking like one
golfer like a normal thing even though
both their names are there I don’t know
why they do it that way I don’t know why
just won’t put like team blah blah blah
blah but that’s the way it is
um the rest of the scoring is the same
um there is a cut I think that I I don’t
remember what the cut is is it like top
30 it’s pretty steep I would say so yes
I think it’s like the top 30 I will
double check yeah I think yeah I think
it’s top 30 so there’s a pretty big cut
and when you look at the U the the
history on this uh event there aren’t
that many people that don’t have
multiple Mi cuts that play is That’s How
high variance this event is I don’t
think More Cows ever made a cut at this
event and they play like three times and
they play like with hola times and like
d they should have done much better than
that yeah like the variant in this event
is really weird you don’t really know
what’s going on honestly I have taken
this week off for the last five years so
I have I mean I got no [ __ ] clue
what’s going on so but I I studied I did
some research today and so we’re going
to go about it let’s go ahead to these
top of these tiers and here’s the thing
a lot of shows are taking this week long
so this might be the only show you get
listen to so hopefully we can help you
out and I’m going to try we’ll start off
in this 10K and up range my cash game
Cornerstone number one k x I mean it’s
like you said it’s simp I don’t see why
you would not roster these two guys who
have finished like top five every time
they play they haven’t won right uh but
I think a win probably is coming I don’t
know if I’d bet him 4-1 but uh for DFS
purposes I mean I’m just going to go and
lock them in uh as my first uh Cascade
Cornerstone up top no problem the team
that I sort of like in here the sea from
zorus right I mean you got like one of
the worst Putters and one of the best
Putters right you got what like two guys
who’s ball striking very both both very
very good um zot tus you know they both
avoid bogis a [ __ ] ton um and you know
GRE and regulation they hit a bunch of
those uh you know Z tus hits a bunch of
Fairways uh and SE does not uh they
probably that they G to be one of my
highest doll love these guys up here in
this 10K range that’s gonna be like my
favorite play what do you think yeah
their price is super cheap and just to
get back to what we were chatting about
you with sand and KY we’ve got these two
at
112 at plus 500 in the market right now
Scotty last week was 133 in a small in a
field with 80 people right 69 guys he
was 133 and plus 400 so I
mean cool let’s take another 400 off of
Cantley and Xander make them plus 400
what would their price be 125 you know
12 qu 12 I feel like their price is very
fair you know I think you’re getting
seriously good
the Frankenstein you’re there it’s very
easy to make a cash lineup with those
guys starting there no problem yeah
facts and then that’s theala you know
Kenny like you mentioned Sith doesn’t he
lot he’s actually his driver is moving
in the right direction lately he’s
actually driving the ball rather well
but I would still in this in this
alternate shot situation wi Taurus’s
long iron play is going to be it’s in a
world of its own right and we’re getting
so many short know 7,450 yards yeah I
think
the if the person’s teeing off on hle
number
two you get to
hit 11 approach shots because you get
the three par 3es and I think eight of
those are 175 an
hour so
like you know like woo baby that’s
cooking for him and then you’ve got that
S I like that I like that that’s some
good info right there yeah so if you go
once I get the Twitter profile figured
out Russia if you retweet our fantasy
golf degenerates I will send you this
model that I’m looking at right now that
I sent Kenny there you go I’ll pop it
right into your DMs there for you guys
and then you’ll have it there if you
give it a good old retweet and support
the show for us so that’s usually a
premium product there at Roa so I’ll
give you a nice little solid for you
guys supporting the show for us and I’ve
got it figured out nicely where you can
see okay if if this combination goes off
in the opposite way what is the expected
Strokes gains looking like you know and
you can see the there’s a massive Gap in
certain guys where they have to go off a
specific way otherwise if they go the
other way around it’s going to cause
issues for them their their skill sets
don’t tailor to this golf course the way
it should so you’ll see it all in there
for yourself I’ve got the ownerships
I’ve got the salaries I’ve got Strokes
gain from specific proximities and all
that yeah so I me lots and lots of fun
love to see theala pairing for you there
Kenny um another I don’t know what do
you think English Rory and and Irish
Duo I don’t know I I I don’t believe in
those guys right now [ __ ] him a year a
little bit uh of course they’re probably
gonna go out and win because of that but
more and kittama lry and Roy don’t catch
my eye meaning they’ll probably do
pretty well oh now here’s the thing uh
Byron did send me that little stat model
it’s it’s it’s pretty cool so make sure
you check it out go ahead uh and retweet
from the fantasy golf generat Twitter
site uh the uh the thing where we put
out
our you know iTunes Apple you know our
pod when we release our PO on the site
go ahead and retweet that and he’ll send
that over to a really cool sheet make
sure you check it out let’s go into this
9k range here’s the thing like you know
I like the brothers I I like the Fitzy
brothers because Alex you know Alex
could play like it’s not like he’s a
[ __ ] scrub right he won on the
challenge tour um over on um in the
European tour and he’s been in some
European tour events uh the guy is not
like a horrible player and you know his
brother wants his ass to be on tour
right so like this is the thing where I
mean they finished top 20 last year in
their first time together and I think
Alex wasn’t as good as he is now um you
know he’s he getting a lot more
experience especially tournament play
and Big Time tournament play across the
pond uh so you know that experience I
think will help him U matad is out here
doing his thing um you know he’s not
been the best out here but in this type
of field this type of an event that bond
that they have as brothers um knowing
their game knowing what to expect being
able to talk little [ __ ] and be like yo
what the [ __ ] you know I’m saying get
your game right right you can’t really
say that if it was like toasty and Ted
Potter Jr right Ted Potter go to
Alejandro toasty be like yo get your
game right dog oh you would like slit
him in the throat right yeah that he
pull out his knife and just you know
like Chris Beno his ass right I mean
that’s probably what would happen like I
mean so that that’s valuable to be able
to like talk to your partner in like a
somewhat negative way and tell him what
the [ __ ] you need to do to step up a
game so we can get so we can get [ __ ]
get going that being Brothers you’re
gonna do that every shot yo Co [ __ ]
up bro I’m trying to make a tour
[ __ ] Matt quit [ __ ] up you
know yes that [ __ ] can go a long [ __ ]
way I think um like the brothers they’re
my second cash game Cornerstone I’m
feeling the Bros this week give me a
little Fitzy give me a little Fitzy
Magic on those two well they’re going to
need that chemistry because their bir
ability is you know they they’re lacking
in that department you know they two
grinders you know I think if this was a
event played in a thunderstorm SL
Monsoon I would very much favor them I
think they’re going to be very popular
just because of what you’ve said Kenya I
think that’s a lot of people this week
are going to be saying so so you’re
saying might be a good idea not playing
in gpps basically I would say so I think
I I’m I think they’re safe bed in you
know the cash situation there that’s
totally cool because there a lot to miss
a cut in this event yeah like I’m I’m
going based upon like like not as much
upside as I normally would like other
than the canle because I mean I want
guys who have routinely played this
event who have routinely made the cut at
this event who I feel like the team
pairings are money uh that’s the way I’m
going to go and I feel like this team
paes Money uh they finished the 19th
last year like I said without Alex being
as good as he is now yeah yeah no that’s
fair so maybe what would happen if they
grind out they dominate in the alt shot
in the uh in alternate shot and do well
in that and then maybe maybe they have
to catch up a little bit when it comes
to best ball but we’ll see how it goes
because the course is [ __ ] easy right
I mean it’s not like you if the course
is this easy Pros should be able to
birdie barrage [ __ ] any time so
I’m not you know what thinking about I’m
not even worried about birdie better
percentage um in this because of how
[ __ ] easy this course is and it’s not
like fit are going out there playing
[ __ ] like you know these 25 under 28
under events he’s playing seen at your
events you know the last like eight
weeks or so have you seen a score over,
1500 ball like once maybe in the last
two months
right yeah I love it yeah no I can I’m
gonna go I’m gonna go with that but I I
love the Canadians who do you like yet
let’s go let’s go with your your I mean
the Canadians uh actually I’m a Bigg F
both Canadian pars look strong to me
yeah I’m I’m actually a bigger fan of
the hadwin Nick Taylor pairing then I am
the Connor pendrith pairing I feel like
those two can can just they just Vibe
better they they played quite nicely
last year they’re going to be cheaper I
think Connor’s and pendrith you know I
think just Connor is going to probably
gonner some ownership there versus the
other two but I’m a big fan of this Tom
hogi Maverick mcne pairing oh boy you
know like think about this Kenny on a on
a typical hole you’re going to have
Maverick mcne who’s actually driving the
ball rather well right now in this field
then leave Tom hogi Tom hogi has to hit
all the approach shots he’s except good
from 175 and out now what typically
happens is Tom hogi misses those easy
birdie looks he gives himself all the
time we’ve got Maverick McNeely looking
at those parts now you know and M’s been
playing good Tom’s been playing good
they’re coming right off the you know
really I mean the quad for Tom last week
was a bit brutal but playing some good
golf you know so lots of love there for
these two guys at $9,400 they actually
grade out really really well as a four
ball team you know their their Mitchy
match is is going to be working out well
they make tons of birdies together there
so I’m a big fan of them too I’ve
actually bet them outright at 40 to1 so
let’s see what those boys can do I’m I’m
thinking they’re going to take care of
business for us for sure lots lots to
like there then we’ve got the second
pair of brothers the Hoy guards Kenny I
think the brothers are just generally
going to grab a bunch of ownership
because people want to play Brothers you
know it’s just this is all narrative
driven this week you know there’s not a
lot of statistical stuff you can kind of
associate with it all so trying to
figure out a way okay
if I was playing with my brother I’d
probably play better you know like but
would you you know like I don’t know
we’ll have to wait and see a lot of
these guys have played golf together
growing up anyway throughout the years
they they’ like doing it just fine so
what is your take on the Hoy
guards yeah I mean Nicholas is great
orasmus I I really haven’t seen much El
so I don’t really know much of his game
yeah um so I’m not 100% sure about that
I’ve actually seen Alex play more then
uh you know F had that run in the US
Open last year or was it some tournament
last year the open um yeah the open yeah
and um so I’ve seen a lot more of him I
haven’t really seen rles so much but I
mean I like the two Canadians so much
better that you know that probably stay
away from from the Hoy guard let’s go
into this 8K range um third cash game
Cornerstone is going to be Ry and lipsky
this is a throwback to last year who
finished second place um they’re coming
in They Know Each Other’s game they know
how to play well with each other uh you
could see what happened last year with
them getting in second you know they’ve
been having medor years uh but I’m going
to go ahead and play them just because
their previous teammate they previous
teammates they know how each other play
uh and we’re just going to go with that
feeling for this third cash game
Cornerstone um other guys in this 8K
range that I like
um Novak and Thompson down there at
$8,100 uh these guys sort of peak my
model uh they’re both inside the top 25
in the model both good around the greens
hopefully you wouldn’t need to do that
but you know um both above average hold
on I’m just lose my place here Tia green
are both inside the top 20 both inside
the top 25 and bogy avoided greet to to
regulation they’re both solid uh playing
decent golf both of them um Davis
Thompson making a lot of cuts Novak
having some top finishes uh so I like
that team who do you like in this AK
range Keith Mitchell and Joel Damon I’m
bet them as well I think Keith Mitchell
drives the ball so well and Joel Damon’s
a really good long Ison player so they
actually grade out quite for me in this
range their alternate situation is
fourth in this
field so I’ll be playing them in round
two and round four for sure because if
you think about
Joel so good and consistent when it
comes to Long irons Keith is one of the
most impressive drivers of the golf ball
on the PGA tour that pairing just from a
ball striking perspective is going to be
scintillating both can light it up every
now and then on the greens particularly
Kei so once Joel’s knocking him close he
should be rolling him in so we’ll see
what they can do there very affordably
priced in the betting market and in DFS
give me those two dudes and then a Bo
Hustler Sam Ryder combo these two dudes
think about Bo this dude has just never
won a PJ toy event every time he gets
anywhere remotely close to sniffing
Victory she she pulls up her pants and
walks out the room you know like there’s
just not a chance for him to ever get to
the dance and I think this is the one
opport when the the ushers aren’t paying
attention when the you know the the
studs are busy making out with the
hottest chicks at a different school you
know we’ve got all sorts of random
distractions this is the week for B and
Sam Rider to pull it through out the
fire let’s see what they can do I think
as a team you know that nervin can kind
of be squashed a bit because Sam can
take care of business for them
there yeah they both seem like they are
on the verge of a wi um for a while both
have zero wins right on tour I know Sam
had that nice little stretch um I think
the end of last year earlier this year
uh posers had some good finishes too it
would be appropriate for them to get it
together that makes a lot of sense I’m
going to go and star them myself uh
probably go ahead and roster them also
go ahead do the 7K range there um Byron
cool so I’ll round out the eights with
Gary Keiger and Ryan Fox I’ve also bet
them outright I think at1 to1 and
$88,000 flat Austin EOD and G Chris gup
is a very peculiar situation because
Chris you know what we’ve seen from him
you know driving driving driving then
you get his partner which is going to be
arson aod which is he’s showing up with
some of the best irons on the PJ tour
lately that’s a ball striking
partnership that if you find the right
combination in the old shots that’s you
know a great Showdown option for me I
think these two can really show up for
you there um some other options yeah
Kevin U and CT pan Kenny that is an
Asian persuasion matchup that I’ve never
ever thought I would be more appealing
to and it’s just looking good to me
Kevin can pull the rabbit out that just
about any given week and same with the
CT pan you know like we’ve seen both of
these guys inside the top 10 multiple
times this year so why not again this
week as a
squad um yeah I like those I sort of
like the old guys down below I don’t
know there’s going to be some old people
that do well on this course on a
specific course or a specific type of of
you know playing conditions like you
know this alternate shot uh and the
bestas ball this team competition
Stricker and cooa guys that have been
through the fire who have played these
events year in and year out for decades
right when it comes to Ryder Cup when it
comes to whatever I bet you they’ve been
paired before on R cup I don’t know if
they have for Real uh but they it seems
like they should uh these guys just go
out there pull it out let’s see if they
can make enough birdies on the um on the
best ball day but I think alterate shot
these guys should kill I have would
think right I mean these guys games yeah
so I mean I I I like them especially
maybe like a Tuesday show a second round
Showdown um I like these guys a lot um
other guys smid and uh SMY um you know
both those guys down below Schmid’s
playing really well a lot of good
finishes here lately Som hasn’t playing
as good but he’s had that stretch before
where we seeing glitches where the guy
is you know definitely going to be in
Pro for a while it’s not like we’re not
going to see him he’s going to be around
he’s a solid player I like that at that
price range like the
middle other than like the Sher cooa I
don’t really see anything that I like
I’m a big fan I Michel K Le Michael just
to represent my Korean Brethren um but
you know I like Taylor Moore I do like
Taylor Moore and I do like uh he is
playing with who um n Smith nay Smith n
again not the best season but hopefully
Moore can pick him up by his bootstraps
a little bit because Taylor is playing
very very well uh so hoping that that
that confidence that that you know nay
Smith can rely on his partner because he
knows he’s play good golf maybe would
help Matthew go ahead play a little bit
better again a lot of narrative driven
stuff here when it comes to this type of
week but yeah that’s the way we got to
go uh we don’t we seek these events once
a year it’s not like these guys play the
same team every single year right so
it’s it’s a lot of narrative basing here
anybody else in the sevenk range you’re
likeing sure let’s go with Ben Silverman
and Kevin Dy two guys or or however you
want to say it they two qun faery tour
guys I think can make some noise and
then my two South African boys Alig Pita
and thristan Lawrence the two youngsters
from South
Africa I have I mean we saw sha and
Louie almost take take care of business
yeah we’ve seen you know cam Smith and
Mark Lehman countrymen tend to play
together well these two have been doing
some really good stuff around the world
you know aldri been crushing it on the
kft tour thr out there on the DP
wouldn’t it be cool if these two could
kind of you know knock out this win for
them at $7,100 yeah at uh at the Zurich
my to South Africa I like a South Africa
today too uh in in the 6K range I’m
going NJ def Fleet how pronounce his
name Duffy Duffy Duffy MJ Duffy and cam
champ this is like bombers Paradise
right these guys are gonna be hitting in
like 340 350 both of them so I I don’t
know how good that’s good for for for
this type of an event but I just want to
see him like I want to see him in
contention I want to see these guys
going out their best ball on Saturday in
the final Parry hitting like 400 yard
bombs while like you know coocher
they’re playing like coer and Stricker
right in that final group because you
never know there where like you never
know what type of all style will work
like I want to see something like that
it’s a battle between like the bombers
and the old heads or down some point in
time that foresome make that a foresome
uh I will I will rock these guys at 6600
6800 whatever I got no problem uh using
these guys get down here um my last cash
G Corner show is going to be a hearing
that plays this event basically every
year uh five top 25s in the last seven
appearances at this event I know both of
them aren’t playing the greatest but
we’re going to go with our final cash
game Cornerstone Charlie Hoffman and
Nick one like I said
$6,200 all these guys do is they come
here they play together every single
year I think they played together seven
eight times uh even maybe even more uh
at this event they know their games
Charlie has played decent this year Nick
hasn’t been playing great for years but
you know last year they finished what
top 20 the year before they they missed
a cup the year before that they finished
top 20 again uh they have again like F I
said five top 20s they last seven
appearances at this event let me go
ahead with the course history narrative
and use it because I need someone cheap
down here to be able to get the fits and
the um and the chlay Xander so that’s so
my cash game cornerstones for this week
are going to be X Klay at
$11,200 the Fitz brothers at
9700 Ryan lipsky 88,200 I’m sorry 8,400
and Charlie Hoffman and Nick Wy at
6200 um so those are the two teams that
I like the best um in that range in that
6K range show me some other 6K guys that
you’re going to play and why is one of
them going to be ADC because I think I
want to play them yeah ADC Jimmy Stanger
another two bunch of corn Fury T guys
that have just absolutely crushed over
the last little while I know ADC is not
playing the best golf in the world but
Jimmy Stanger can hit it like it’s
basically the same thing as this Camp
champ he won like three four how many
how many cor EV he went last year didn’t
he yeah yeah he’s been playing Amazing I
have no idea what’s happened to my
camera it just kind of went dark on me
and my face has gone white as [ __ ] but
hey you know maybe this is what we’re
looking for you is Jimmy Stanger just
hitting nukes and and wiing my face out
so you can’t even see my eyeballs but
you very you look very luminous I know I
feel like you can see the back of my
skull you know go out and get some
[ __ ] Sun you and C both you to go out
of the house get get some [ __ ] Sun
I’m waiting Kenny I’m in Iowa again we

move to Iowa like what what what you
said you’ve been in South America for
what nine years right so South 12 years
so you got to the United States like
around College time like 20 what was
like I’m gonna move to America and I’m
gonna move to [ __ ] Iowa I know so I’m
a youngster 19 years old in South Africa
you know what I’m decent at golf let’s
let’s see if I can get a golf
scholarship I’m going to try and make it
over to America Let’s see we send it out
there I get full responses back that say
okay these are your full options the
best one was William pen University
Oskaloosa Iowa two years later my sister
comes across she had over 100 offers
like it’s just a weird thing how you got
to make female golf female golf is
different like if you could shoot if you
could shoot like under 80 they’re gonna
take you right in female golf right yeah
in college well nowadays it’s getting
more competitive you know they really
because I mean you see what they’re
doing I mean [ __ ] Nelly cter good God
I mean we didn’t we even talk about that
in the beginning like Chef’s not even
the best player in the world
no he hasn’t won five in a row like she
has yeah sheer is not even the best play
like in the last 10 combined events one
person has beaten him Stephen
Jer one one person has me these guys in
the last 10 events how [ __ ] sick is
that great I used to watch your father
all the time uh yeah I was a big tennis
nut when I was growing up you know I
played tennis well with States I played
across the country whatever uh yeah my
fan has played tennis it’s true and um I
was a tennis pro at a country club for
three years great job when you’re like
19 years old and you’re in shape and fit
and you got all these like 40y old Rich
[ __ ] that you want I want to get like
private lessons from
you it worked well it worked well it it
was a good ass job also uh my boss is a
big drug dealer so back then so it was
great I was years old it was everything
you could wish for everything I needed
back then was in in in those tenis cour
every summer I come back to college and
work over at on Cardinal Hill Cardinal
Hill women Racket Club over in Tyson
Corner Virginia but that that was a fun
ass job all right do we have anybody
else in the 6K range J spot you didn’t
tell me you didn’t tell me so that’s the
reason you stayed in Iowa because you
were golf you play golf I
went in college met my wife there I
applied for jobs after my four years of
studying nobody wanted me to work there
so I I reached out to my my golf coach I
said I need to work as a grad assistant
like I need to stay here for another two
years so I spent another two years doing
my my Master’s business eadership you
know kind of being the assistant golf
coach on the golf team what the [ __ ] are
you doing on this show well dude yeah
I’ve got three and a half degrees three
and a half degrees you know like but it
was all just to stay in the country and
then the two years went by when you got
married you were good you married an
American hopefully right yes but only
after I got a job so I I was good to go
prior to that anyway so it was all good
um just so ice wasn’t coming was it
coming over to to kick you out no that’s
some
CL I have a buddy I’m not going to say
names here because you know he’ll get
arrested but I have a buddy who married
friend of mine because she’s not from
this country and she needed a Visa and
so she paid my buddy like 50k uh to to
fake the get they get married they got
married they did all thing but then like
Agents come to their house like every
three months yeah right and they don’t
even live together right yeah and so
like they have like this code like where
like where’s your so at at the house you
know her house she has pictures of them
like on the wall vacation stuff like
that they don’t they’re just friends you
know they don’t she’s actually with
somebody else he’s with somebody else
also uh so whenever you go to her house
she’s got like pictures of him and her
together you know vacation pictures
[ __ ] all this crazy stuff and and I
guess they have a system where because
they don’t announce when they’re going
to visit yeah right they just you know
knock on your door um and so that
happens pretty frequently and they have
like this code like text code where oh
yeah he’s at work uh he’ll be home in 10
minutes and he he like literally like
rolls over there as fast as he can from
where he’s at uh and doesn’t it’s worked
and after two years they sto coming yes
so she’s good now she’s good that’s the
time frame yep yeah um I say not the
illegal version yours is like the true
love version yeah no I would like to
just thank your friend for making it way
more expensive for me to come into the
country Kenny so I really appreciate
that you know um I’ve heard all these
other instances where you know heyy I’m
an imigrant too do it’s St in I was
three it’s it’s a spy spendy situation
so yeah I mean this is a far A little
more difficult for me it was easy
because of Ted Kennedy Ted Kennedy made
it a lot easy for us Koreans to come
across the Pod back in the day that’s
why a lot of Koreans tend to run blue uh
just because of uh Ted but nowadays with
the Korean making a lot more money than
they used to we tended to run
right we follow we follow the money
basically it’s where it goes with my
culture but uh yeah that’s how it went
but uh all right so anybody else in the
6K range did we miss did you go on to go
over um I’ll just say JJ spawn again for
some reason and this Hayden Buckley
pairing I I like it a lot um we’ll see
what cooks there but not going to be
playing too many guys I think it’s going
to be a nice week of just kind of
picking your battles and looking at
Showdown especially in this alternate
shot thing you know with this model that
I’ve built I feel like I’m going to have
a pretty decent understanding of who’s
going to play pretty solid that that
alternate shot that that sheet that you
have will be very very helpful so make
sure you go uh retweet the um the post
about the podcast from the fantasy golf
jates uh Twitter feed um so make sure
you do that you get yourself one of
these models it’s pretty sweet I’ve
looked at it it’s pretty money you’re
going to want it especially for showed
out all right bets this week uh I have
seven I sort of wet a little
but uh I likeed some of the numbers that
I saw um and so I’m going to go start
off with the Fitzy Brothers at 20
to1 okay uh wait why am I missing the
Fitzy Brothers Fitzy Brothers 20 to1 um
Novak Thompson 45 to1 that’s eight
places uh Ry lipsky 50 to1 eight places
more n Smith forgot about that it wasn’t
it wasn’t yeah more E Smith uh 50 to1
eight places uh champ and MJ 110 to1
eight
places Hoffman Watney 171 eight
places I love it I love it we don’t have
any overlaps so we’re going to have to
find a I might have to jump into a
triple digit with you there because I’ve
got Nick Taylor Adam hadwin 40 Tom hogi
MAV mcne 40 I’ve got hosler Ryder 75
Damon and Mitchell at 75 I got box and
higo that South African Australian
pairing a little bit of a mix of both
there at 100 and then the Kevin U and CT
pan at 125 and those are with three
places each I got some really good odds
for the three places just because I’ve
had so many guys finished second the
last while I would not live with myself
if I never made that bit with that three
places there so six guys not shorter
than
41 yeah I’ve been crushing it on the uh
so last six weeks I’ve had two outrights
