someone new gets to win this week
because Scotty shuffler isn’t in the
field we got you covered I’ll help you
figure out who with the 555 PGA podcast
brought to you by DFS Army for this
week’s Zurich Classic here we
[Music]
go what up what up what up everybody
it’s your boy DFS up north AKA Josh here
with another 555 PGA podcast brought to
you by those fine folks over at DFS Army
Kevin teex all the boys over there uh
shout out to them we are here for
another week and like I said in the
intro Scotty shuffler will not win this
week I mean as far as we know I mean I
guess he still couldn’t he’s Scotty
shuffler he’s like Thanos he’s
inevitable right um so we get the Zer
Classic this week TPS or TPS can I get
those TPS reports TP Louisiana we’re
down in New Orleans for the Zurich
Classic it is a partner event guys get
to play with their buddies or just
random old guys like Eric Cole is I
don’t understand that it’s say Caddy’s
father-in-law or so Random right but the
guy’s gonna get a PGA tour start hasn’t
started since 2004 but uh yeah it is a
it’s an interesting week uh we’ll talk
about how kind of the format and all
that here in a second uh but again last
week let’s talk about it I mean it’s
it’s inevitable like I said Scotty
shuffler wins every single week uh
smashed at the Heritage and you know
what I got burned I I faded Scotty last
week I was he can’t keep he can’t
possibly keep on this tiger run he just
won the Masters
like no like he just he did it again
like makes no sense to me how good he is
playing um and now fortunately we won’t
see him for a little bit maybe not until
the PGA depending on the birth of his
child and all that so uh I am excited
for a couple of weeks we don’t have to
worry about Scotty sheffler and some
other guys have a chance to win and this
week seems like pretty much anybody can
win so uh as usual the 555 model I give
you five key stats or narratives for the
week uh five favorite plays on
DraftKings and FanDuel and then some
five punt plays uh on both sides at just
DraftKings this week so far FanDuel has
not come out with pricing and if my
memory serves I don’t think they did
last year either uh but we’ll see so
five key stats we got the partner format
right I talked about this in the intro
we get four balls and four some what
that means is four balls uh is where you
each play your own ball and you or your
partner whoever scores the better of the
two scores that’s the score that counts
typically in this format we see guys go
pretty low uh this is a fairly easy
birdie Fest course like we’ll talk about
here in a minute and we see guys shoot
62 63 64 pretty regularly to contend
here though you have to be good at
forums forums is alternate shot
uh and that’s why I like uh as you’ll
seen a little bit here guys who have
been playing together for a while
especially guys whove been playing
together for a while and then having
success in that alternate shot format
because you have to shoot under par to
have success at this event lots of guys
will shoot 62 63 in four sums or four
balls and then in four sums they will
end up shooting 72 73 uh overp right and
that’s just not going to get it done on
a week where you probably got to shoot
minus 30 to win all right
so uh alternate shot is really the
differentiator here okay uh 36o cut and
even though we have a weird format
there’s only 60 some teams competing we
do still get a 36 hole cut I believe
it’s top 30 in ties I could be wrong
there um but I think it’s top 30 in ties
uh it’s going to be really Lush this
year it’s going to play much not much
differently but it’ll play differently
than it has in the past all right lots
of rain 24 inches this year so far they
had 36 inches last year total uh so it
is going to be thick you there will be a
premium placed on finding the fair this
week but TBC Louisiana like any other
course especially a TBC course you can
absolutely bomb and gouge it around here
and that’s why this is an easy birdie
Fest course one of the stats that we
have in the research station that is for
dfsr VIPs again if you’re on a DFS Army
VIP you can use that code up North for
10% off one of the key stats that we can
look at is who plays well on these easy
courses right it’ll show us the field
rank uh for those courses and a group
that is really popping off for me there
uh intriguingly is Taylor Montgomery and
Ben Griffin I really do like both of
them Montgomery can put the lights out
Griffin’s a pretty good ball Striker
like them a lot uh and then it seems
like DraftKings really just had no idea
how to price this this week uh and there
are some serious odd values that’s
another thing that you can re that you
can search in the uh research station is
you know odds values where the odds are
shifting things like that and one of the
highest odds values on the board uh is
the Hoy guards Nikolai and Rasmus the
brothers uh from Den Mark are really
strong values at 22 to1 and only 9100 on
DraftKings so those are going to be uh
some key stats again if you want access
to that research station which has that
and more you can become a dfsm VIP by
using that code up north all right so my
five favorite plays this week for me it
starts off with that odds value in the
Hoy guards I really like both of them I
get that Nikolai just missed the cut at
an opposite field event um but Brothers
playing together uh is a theme here for
me uh they’ve obviously played a lot of
uh golf like this they do have very
similar games so alternate shot
shouldn’t be too big of an issue for
them uh so I’m pretty high on hoard and
hoard at 9100 on DraftKings next up
these guys have absolutely just
destroyed this event over the years
former winners I think they went fourth
last year uh shaay and Klay they both
played great last week I am uh super
high on them I am willing to pay I’m
willing to eat the chalk uh I will have
at least half of my lineups have these
two in it uh next up I talked in the
intro or just a minute ago about how
familiarity with each other I think is
important and these two have finished
fourth here the last two years that’s
Taylor Moore and Matthew neith if you
watched this video before you know that
I already already like Taylor Moore
quite a bit uh but his price tag is uh
7700 I really like uh I’m pretty high on
these two n Smith coming in
with Soo form uh not great right uh but
he’s an elite ball Striker and obviously
coming back to a course that he’s a ton
of success success at with uh a buddy of
his uh could be a recipe for Success all
right another group that’s played really
well here the last two years I think uh
what 13th and fourth here the last two
years is Aaron Ry and David lipsky ry’s
been playing great lipsky up and down uh
8,400 is a little bit expensive I think
that actually will keep their ownership
down a touch I like them a lot uh and
then Montgomery and Griffin Taylor
Montgomery and Ben Griffin we talked
about those to just crushing easy
courses I love them at 8700 that’s sort
of going to be a dead zone in pricing
for me um guys and then there’s other
guys kind of in there like uh Adam
hadwin uh and Nick Taylor who I’m pretty
high on obviously they were Runners up
here last year so another couple of guys
that I am high on U If You’re Gonna Play
sha canl You’re Gonna Play hoard maybe
you’re gonna throw in a Montgomery and
Griffin right you got to have some value
all right and my favorite value plays uh
start with Matty schme and Alex SMY Alex
Small’s a a long-term Elite ball Striker
who is finally coming back around with
his game look good at the K Pana last
week Matty schme has been crushing all
year another guy that we’ve been super
high on at DFS Army uh so at 7200 I’m
willing to take some chances on then and
that’s sort of the thing here right uh
this is a weird week highly variant all
right like I I put in our notes this
week for the cheat sheet that again if
you want access to that you gota use
that code upor you become a VIP but I
put in the notes this week that like
cash games like it’s just so high
variant I can’t say like hey outside of
maybe like shl and Klay like nobody is
Cash safe all right and even those two
aren’t we’ve seen calore C and maxom
missed the cut by a mile year last year
because they couldn’t play alternate
shot right uh so it’s not very safe it’s
highly variant it would not surprise me
at all if we had uh one of these Five
Guys listed here or somebody else that’s
7K or 7.3k and Below uh win this event
that’s that’s it is highly varying play
this week for fun um because it is it
it’s kind of crazy uh how this week goes
all right so uh love Sheen SMY uh back
with the brothers theme I love Cy and Cy
Parker C’s been playing great all year
pece and Cy actually nipped him last
week uh finished 17th at at punana uh
these two uh brothers from Texas their
grandpa w a masters U it’s in their
bloodlines I think that them together
this week is going to be really
interesting uh and I think that they can
contend all right 6600 uh and then thir
sorry not thiren not thst Howell I third
thrist Lawrence uh and aldrick potger
potger actually won on the KF this year
a former world number one amateur of my
memory serves uh both South Africans
both have had experience uh Lawrence has
been playing great on the dpwt this year
love both these guys they have a ton of
upside at 7100 uh in a PJ event is
obviously it’s obviously a step up but I
think that they both have the game to do
it and I again I like the the countrymen
playing together here uh and then Nick
Hardy Davis Riley uh crazy to me crazy
to me that they
are um going to go under owned like they
won this event last year
Riley’s game starting to come around
Hardies has been not great but he loves
a good easy birdie Fest all right he’s a
guy that we’re going to be smashing at
the John Deere Classic in a couple of
weeks all right so at 7500 low ownership
these guys won at minus 30 last year
they obviously are comfortable together
they play well an alternate shot they
play good in four balls I’m I’m I’m in
right I I like these guys this week
again uh and then finally the the two
cover boys here Jimmy Stanger and AD DC
Adrien de Dumont chassa and Jimmy
Stanger uh they and both finished 17th
last week at punana playing some good
golf ADC has struggled a little bit in
his he was a top five guy coming out of
college last year so he’s got a full
he’s got a PGA Tour card he struggled a
little bit uh but he’s starting to find
his game all right so I am going to jump
on him before he pops off Stanger has
been pretty good all year um lately gone
through a little bit of a rough patch
since they went maybe to the South here
but I uh I I like these guys we are
playing on PO overseed this week which I
think suits both of these two so like I
said it is a funky week all right it is
a funky week uh I will it like play for
fun it’s going to be uh
interesting uh this week it always is
guys got to make a ton of birdies guys
that guys that you think like on on
Thursday are oh man he’s in the top 10
he’s fine are going to miss the cut all
right that will happen because alternate
shot on Friday is going to mess
everything up for you all right so you
just got to be aware of that don’t get
too heavily invested uh and play this
week for some fun before we really get
into the heart of major season in the
next month or so here so that is what I
