i’ been getting dirty money Jord Bing Penny while I’m flipping these birding [Music] on what is going on DJ Nation Kenny Kim here bringing you another fantasy golf generat podcast this week for the PJ Championship as usual I’m here with everybody’s favorite South African Byron linu Byron what is up my friend jny we are dressed to the Reds yeah I don’t know what that means but you know one of I should have rocked the stash with you you’re looking frisky I’m is that that fireman stash is that what you’re trying to trying to get I’m trying to be like Johnson Wagner you know what I’m saying I’m trying to be like I’m trying to be like John you know Johnson Wagner reminds me of I just watched Mulan Rouge the other day he reminds me of zegler right he just comes up with like the right excuses for every or like the right explanation for like every single thing that is happening even though you might not believe it I before but Z you could [ __ ] with the best of them and I feel like Johnson can too actually he is a Virginia Tech Alum I went to school with him same year as I did I think he was there from like 98 to 202 2002 uh I was there till 2004 because took me six years to graduate but before we move on of course our sponsor Underdog fantasy make sure you go to Underdog fantasy use promo code Mayo get yourself a deposit a deposit bonus up to $250 go check it out we’ll have our Underdog segment here later today of course Byron kept the underdog streak alive last week okay with the winner I failed I the weather got me on that one uh it was not that course not play like I thought for round one I could definitely tell you that with those greens and how hard that course played but great win by Byron he came up clutch hopefully this week we’ll have some more bets we’ll have some more Underdog stuff for you so he can come back and get a win when it comes down to that so let’s talk about the last week in the world’s Fargo Championship of course I did hit Rory um at 9 to one it was on the Pod once again it was so I didn’t have a total loss of a week uh last eight weeks that’s my fourth outright win I’ve had 10 eway wins in those eight weeks as well uh so we’re running hot in multiple fronts uh right now we’re going to go ahead and see if we can keep this going through the PJ Championship I’ll let you go ahead and start by what you think of the event it was it was Deja Vu it was just switch out wam Clark for Rory maroy I mean you could see it coming the moment Xander hit that eject button everyone’s saying Rory played so well and Xander could do nothing about it I disagree like you got to put your stamp you got to assert your dominance on the other guy to make him not go on a Eagle Run on a birdie birdie eagle run like you got to be the demeaning the the domineering guy you can’t let like you had X over Rory is what it sounds like Kenny I had a matchup V shy over Rory ma the only person that beat my guy was the only person I matched him up against and you know like this is the so a little bit better should never have been surprised I expected Rory to potentially not be inside the top 10 with Xander being there I expected Rory to have a good high upside you know like we saw but I caught him on the wrong day thought Xander being a little baby back [ __ ] again you know like he just can’t figure his stuff out when it comes to clutching up man he’s the second best he’s just not a winner right I mean Xander since Xander won his last event in 2022 the Genesis gotot US Open uh Rory’s won seven events worldwide yeah I know people think Rory’s not a winner either but he’s won seven events worldwide since Xander’s last I’ve been trying to find Kenny a a Photoshop of where I take Xander shy like in a flat situation like this and just turn him into a bunch of stairs just let the people walk all over him to the the upper Stratosphere of the golfing world just step on my face while you at it like that’s what he’s letting people do it’s good golfers you know PJ major championship caliber golfers that are doing this to him but you’re the second if you take Strokes gain the last 100 rounds the only person who gain more Strokes than you Scotty Sheffer Xander and you’ve got no wins to show for it Zolo zero you haven’t looked serious about winning a single tournament since like where is this like where’s the love cash the top 10 WH the freaking do I lost all that money back on the Rory bed so it was brutal stuff for me Kenny I did not enjoy my week Windam and willly Z never showed up where the hell were they um but you know a nice little primer for the PJ Championship what did you think of the week yeah I mean you know I enjoyed it thoroughly because of course I had Rory uh and Rory was my main bet of the week didn’t do didn’t fair that well in DFS but made up for it in uh with the with the outright bet which is nice I I thought I like the way the courts are set up really really a big fan I mean I think that’s the way a true PJ course should be set up like if you’re playing well you’re gonna score if you’re playing shitty you’re gonna [ __ ] suck basically I mean we it went from like 14 overp par to 20 underpar right wasn’t isn’t that the scoring difference right there and that’s the way I think it should be if you’re not playing well and you’re playing a tough ass you should just [ __ ] the bed and do what these guys did uh you know I know Fitzpatrick didn’t play well he came back a little bit at the end but we’re looking at like double digit over bar um for that course and you know we’re GNA we might see something similar this week I actually think it’s possible that this week might be easier than what we saw at the Wells Fargo just because of uh you know just because of how the conditions it’s going to be I mean they did have flood watch last week they have a flood watch tomorrow uh they’re expecting hail uh they’re expecting rain Wednesday as well uh they’re expecting rain Friday Saturday and Sunday um now the last time they played this event uh here you know it was again soft super soft conditions once again balls were W weren’t rolling at all it just literally hit the ground and plugged and of course Roy dominated in one and minus 16 back then that was his [ __ ] right uh those soft long courses uh with high scoring that’s how he won um really like in his career think he’s only won one event that he shot minus 12 or low ever in his career in like 45 wins or whatever wins he has uh and that’s why I expect him to be in contention this week uh now will I use him we’ll see I don’t know um now for me the event I thought the Koreans played well benan really showing his [ __ ] um he’s he’s looking strong coming into here sunj I played him um in gpps uh not enough to win money but uh I played him he looked okay at least for the majority he fell back a little bit on Sunday um other people that played well I mean Taylor Moore was up there uh before he fell off on the weekend endr right uh pendri was really really caught my ey because what he did the week before winning at an event where of course it’s a much easier like super high scoring 30d Fest to go to a tougher course and still be able to perform and finish in the top 10 now the one true the two things the one thing that’s similar between Craig Ranch and Wells Fargo there’s not much but a lot of long iron play right and that’s what he’s been doing well and you know guess what we see this week a lot of long iron play uh now if he just did his thing at the at the at the Craig grants yeah he probably wouldn’t be catch in my eye but he played a tough course played well is riding momentum um I like the way he’s playing he looks good uh so I it’s going to be a fun tournament because we got Rory coming in uh with two straight wins Sheffer coming in with two straight wins and of course kka coming in with the win at Singapore um those three guys are the ones to watch and it should be really really fun uh I expect these guys to come out uh and have a great week and make this an exciting event now anything else you want to talk about before we move on no I’m just trying to figure out how Rory Scotty and Brooks all have a total of five wins entering the week in their last one and a half two starts you know that’s just yeah that’s exciting you know that’s really gonna be fun it’s gonna be Battle of the alpha males let’s see what happens and and go for it Penny it’s PJ championship week man I’m thrilled all right before we move into the PJ championship of course it’s major week so we’re g to do a little story time with Kenny we’re gonna do a story time with Kenny classic all right so the last time I told the story was masters of 2022 so it’s been over two years uh I’ve gotten about 500 th000 new followers in that time I’m sure there’s been a ton more people uh who who just started listening to the show in that period of time maybe they haven’t heard the butterfish story all right so we’re gonna go ahead and do the butterfish story all right so it all starts out I was seeing this girl third date was coming up and now here’s the thing guys when you’re out with women the first couple of days really really important to listen to everything the women says because that’s how you can go across and make it so you could smash on the date and that’s usually what I try and do so you know after a couple dates with this girl uh we’ve gone out a couple times she tells me you know she’s a Navy brat uh she lived on the water growing up uh her favorite vacation spot was in Hawaii uh she loves Seafood so third dat I plan it uh say I’m going to take you out I don’t tell her we’re going to take you I’m going to take you to the Baltimore Baltimore Harbor um you know water uh Harbor we’re going to Roy which is a Hawaiian Seafood Fus Fusion Restaurant right so everything I’m doing at that point is trying to you know get in her pants checking boxes baby love it yeah and so so you so you pay attention to the girl listen to everything she says now the problem with me is once I smash I stop listening that’s why I’m single at 44 years old right because once I smash I stop listening and that’s definitely a problem that I’ve had that numerous girlfriends have told me that is my problem but but the initial time the first couple days I’m like a [ __ ] reporter I’m like taping the [ __ ] like in my mind mentally right just TR make sure I get all the bit of information I need to get in them paint so Third Day third date uh I take her I pick her up she lives in Maryland I pick her up we go to Roy right and so another thing you do when you go out when you’re with a woman is you know women like adventurous guys guys who like to try new things a really good way to do that is trying different types of food that you’re not normally comfortable with and have her knowing so the the the server came up and he the special that night was like a miso uh butterfish right um I and I was like oh i’ never tried butterfish before uh how does it taste and he gave the example I like that sounds great I think that’s what I was going to get okay and so so I eat the butterfish meal delicious I mean that’s the problem with this fish because it is so tasty right super oily just delicious fish a Char grilled with the Miso on top I mean it was it was great uh it was about like a 9 o portion okay so I eat this uh you know we have a good time we have a couple drinks we walk around the harbor afterwards you know what I’m saying little make out session while we walk and then she’s like why don’t we come back to my place I’m like yes good to smash everything [ __ ] worked this is the way to [ __ ] do it yes so so we get to our house we get to her house and I’m on the couch and she’s putting on a movie some NE Netflix something right and and I’m sitting on a couch and all of a sudden I feel something weird like in my pants I’m like what is going on in my pants and it’s not like the good stuff that happens that can go on in your pants right you know like the the good stuff uh it was not that so I I’m sitting there like why is my butthole wet like my butthole was wet and I was like what is going on and then after a certain amount of time Not only was the butthole wet like my whole ass both cheeks like just wet wet right and I’m like sliding she has like sort of like a pleather like the couch that I’m sitting on like this pleather right but it’s like white white pleather ouch so I’m sitting on a couch right and I’m literally like just sliding like Super Soaker like sliding because my butt cheeks and my butt and my parents are like I don’t know what’s going on so at that point in time I realized I am not [ __ ] tonight there there it’s it’s not going to happen uh and I tell her I’m not feeling well I W I get up and I’m like I have to go and I’m like walking backwards like Moon walking like I’m [ __ ] Michael Jackson to the goddamn door so they didn’t see my butt but I look at the seat and it’s like this green oil film like all over the white pleather scene I’m looking at my producer Mike and Byron right now I’m guessing they haven’t heard this story before this is by far one of my most famous stories um so that’s good because their reactions right now are insane and of course I’m sure you people listening at home who have not heard this story it’s an insane story so I get back to the car okay so I’m able to leave but I see this big green stand I’m like okay I’m never going to call her again I’m never going to get I’m never going to [ __ ] this girl basically is what happens I’m like it comes down to it and of course she never called me back okay I would not have either if a person if a girl came over and left a [ __ ] stain in the middle of her goddamn C of the couch I’m not calling her ass back either unless she’s super hot anyways uh anyways anyways so so I get to the car I have to like put like a towel down like on on my driver’s seat luckily I had like a golf towel in the back um and I put it on the seat and I sit down I start googling I’m like what the [ __ ] f is wrong with me and and I’m Googling the stuff I eat and I Google butterfish right and then they’re like and I’m reading like what happens and they’re like do not eat too much butterfish I’m like what the [ __ ] why not and they’re like but eating too much butterfish will cause anal leakage anal leakage like first of all why would you eat something that causes anal leak why would any company or restaurant sell something that causes anal leakage and I feel like the [ __ ] server did that [ __ ] on purpose right because like I feel like he knew like what the deal was he knew I was on a date right and then he told the chef to get the biggest [ __ ] piece of butterfish there is because what it said was you should not eat more than like four to six ounces right of butterfish at a time um I ate like it was like nine to 10 the [ __ ] was [ __ ] huge it was like nine to 10 outs and so basically that’s what happened like I guess you just because it’s it’s such an oily fish all the oil just goes through your system and like runs out your butthole and you don’t even feel it come out the butthole like it just comes out the butthole and you’re like wait a second why is my butth hole wet hey so so that is what happened of course I never talk to the girl again um I feel really bad for her couch my guess is she probably needed to buy a new couch probably I mean if some [ __ ] on my couch I would and it wasn’t [ __ ] technically it’s not [ __ ] even though it’s coming out of my butt uh it’s oil but whatever it’s coming out of your butt right it’s coming out of your butt so very very similar and so of course I make sure to not try so if you ever have a white tuna that’s another name for butterfish white tuna butterfish oh my God make sure you don’t eat too much of that or you will have anal leakage and you won’t be able to [ __ ] the girl you want to [ __ ] basically what happened so that’s my story of course uh Story Time with Kenny classic one of the most embarrassing moments of my life uh but it’s a great story right you gotta laugh at it I me once you Gotta Laugh You Gotta Laugh so the back of my head is so tight from laughing so like you know it’s so bad right now when people first heard that story they were definitely in a little bit of shock God uh but yeah anal leakage no fun no fun try to avoid anal leakage at all costs if you can all right all right so let’s move on let’s move on to our to our Underdog fantasy segment great segue from Anna leakage to Underdog fantasy our sponsors gotta be [ __ ] proud of that one gotta be all right so we’re going to go to our under fantasy segment for this week uh last week of course uh Byron he hit his uh to keep our streak going of at least one of us winning uh for each pod that we’ve done so far and so the one I have this weekend it looks like the weather’s going to be the nicest on Thursday looks like it’s going to be calm um looks like it’s going to be soft conditions with all the ring that they’re going to have Tuesday and Wednesday like they’re expecting like flood type Reigns uh Tuesday and Wednesday uh and I don’t know if there is subair here now now now we are going to talk about this later but they did add the zoa grass in the fairways which should help because zoa helps is a better type of grass when there’s a lot of water it actually takes one inch of water a week to keep it from browning out uh and stuff like that so it needs a lot of water anyways um and so maybe the rain coming and stuff like that will actually be something that it needs I’m sure they’re not watering it daily manually you know what I’m saying so we’re I’m GNA hope uh that you know it keeps it so it’s still going to be soft but not as soft as we saw at 2014 but I would still give the advantage to bombers and so what I’m going to do is I’m going to go ahead and take a couple of guys one guy that I think is going to score very very well uh on the first round it’s Brooks capka lower than 69 Strokes that means he’s gonna have to shoot three underp uh in the first day and this is Brookie I he’s my headline bet uh he’s going to be he’s in my cash game cornerstones uh he is going to be one of my highest owning gpps I’m breaking my rule uh where I usually only go 20% on my cash game guys in my personal ownership for gpps I’m throwing that out the window he’s probably going to be my highest own in gpps as well we’re just going all kka this week uh and so lower than 69 Strokes Fitz pater now I made this yesterday before he uh he he had a pretty good final round but before his final round God he looked horrible like something looks off with matadin Patrick and so I’m going to go higher than two and a half Bogies I I don’t think that’s a I think it’s a great number two and a half even if he plays well I think he could still have three Bogies on a course this difficult um so I’m going to go higher than two and a half Bogies and I’m going Ricky Fowler higher than three Bogies um he did not look good last week uh it looks like he’s coming in with decent form but I really want him to play well last week so I can use him but it wasn’t that great again another guy who I think can shoot even par one under but still have three to four bokis so my card for the underdog this one pays uh what’s the payout detail here this one pays 6.25 uh for this three bagger once again Brooks kept the lower than 69 Strokes Matt F Fitz Patrick higher than 2.5 Bogies are worse Ricky Fowler high than 3.0 Bogies or Worse what is your Underdog play this week my friend I love it Kenny and as before I mentioned mine I want to mention that like last week I managed to get through because instead of going with a score I went with a like a a finite situation right like if you go into these tough courses trying to shoot under like for Brookie I’d almost lean birdies because you can make those birdies and get to your three under that you need to or four and a half for him or five and a half a lot yeah so then it doesn’t check out because then you make one or two bogeys and that score doesn’t cash but your your birdie prop still does so this is kind of why I like kind of leaning into these things where one really bad shot doesn’t mess up your prop you know so I’ll be doing Fairways hit for all three of my guys two highers two lowers from what I understand this golf course can set up really nicely to these guys that canuk it and you can really start finding you know these alleyway and corridors and for will zorus he’s actually moved to be a rather accurate driver of the golf ball since his back injury he doesn’t hit it nearly as far but he’s hitting a lot more accurate so higher than eight Fairways hit for Willie Z around this venue I think what we’ve got 14 options you know so you can Miss six Fairway still and at least push then I’ll go with siah the gala over 7 and a half Fairways hit by the way folks if you’ve just woken up from Makoma so H the God is almost as a driver of the golf ball now as he’s a Putter and you know how good what happened to Su Sun though [ __ ] what the [ __ ] that scares me we’ll get to this year shortly Cameron Smith lower than seven and a half Fairways hit if there’s anything I know about my boy is he can’t hit Fairways and seven and a half I mean he’s going to miss more than half his Fairways I’d imagine at a venue like this just trying to pound it out there seven and a half Fairways for cam Smith is the under so go lower than cam Smith 7 and a half Fairways higher than 7even and a half for sahit the gala and higher than eight for will zot taures two very accurate guys and one guy that just throws the quackers off the tea box every time he tees it up so that’s my boy cam I love him but he’s not going to need a lot of Fairways this week all right that sounds good let’s go uh pay some bills Underdog fantasy is the easiest place to play fantasy sports it’s also the fastest growing fantasy app in the industry I personally like the pick them games pick

www.ncpgambling.org all right so we’re going to be doing a little bit new we’re we’re changing up our format here a little bit and we’re moving our betting segment into the middle of the show uh just so we’re gonna have a bigger more wider betting base uh on the show we’re going to try and bring more bets iron’s going to do his thing with his baba bets you have my outright his outright maybe some other bets from Byron during this segment each and every week uh we have been hot at least I have been hot uh here lately in the last two months and I hopefully it can keep on going um so let’s go ahead I’ll go ahead and start with my card uh for this week my card for this week again it’s a major a little bit Overexposed but that’s how we roll I’m actually trying to win 30 units this week instead of 20 uh so I can throw a little bit more in there uh when I do my bets and of course I’ve won so much in the last few weeks that I have I’m flush so I’m going to go ahead and do this so I’m going to go ahead I went my headline BET’s gonna be Brooks Kea 20 to1 I got that after he won Singapore um I’m conf so confident in that bet that I did not take the each way and I took the eway money and put it all on the out uh so normally I would bet 50 on him and then 50 on the eway uh I did not do that just put $100 straight on Brooks for the win at 20 to1 uh now these next two I sort of made a mistake um I thought both of these guys might be able to have low their odds would lower after good performances at the Wells Fargo than the first one Max hom he finished inside the top 10 you can get him now at like 30 35 to one even with eight places I got him at 22 uh because I thought his number was going to go down um so I made the BET early in the week last week uh before before the Wells Fargo started so mistake but good for you because you’re going to get a better number if you want to tail me um I think he’s ready uh he’s shown in his last two major performances uh with a couple of top 10 a third place I think a third or fourth place finish at the Masters it seems like he’s ready uh to do some damage at a major um I so I like him um at this at at 22 to1 with eight places another mess up I had Windam Clark again another guy I thought that was going to do well last week I got him a 20 to1 uh with eight places oh I’m sorry 25 to1 with eight places um again you can get them at 40 right now and I think that number might even drift even more uh just because you know it’s a poor performance last week but I am not gonna worry about one bad week for a guy who’s been balling uh in these signature type of events and the one thing about this course um if you listen to Pat Mayo show earlier today if you listen to Annie lack show earlier uh earlier they both talk about how um guys who play a um a slice a cut might have a little bit of an advantage just because of the way the course is shaped um of course we all know that Windam plays that heavy cut uh off the tea and it could be to his advantage and of course he’s long off the tea and his iron play has been good I’m not too worried about last week you know uh I think he can come back step up perform and maybe even be um you know overlooked a little bit because of what happened um I also bet Bryson the Shambo at 28 to1 with eight places again I’m heavy on bombers uh this week I like guys who can hit it far uh he’s another guy if you look at uh the rankings for like long courses with thick rough he’s up there in the top 10 when it comes to that type of stuff I really do like Bryson um so and then I have um so little Overexposed in the 20s right then I have um SE at 60 to one with eight places again a great driver of the ball uh he’s coming in he had lot of strong finishes this year in difficult courses and I’m going baa at 90 to1 with eight places uh he won a either a junior or an amateur event uh at Valhalla in his youth he has played here before won championships here before he should be nice and comfortable at this course we’ve seen comfortable com someone be comfortable doing well recently with Fitzpatrick uh when he when he won his Us open on a course where he loves and he gets to at often with his family or whatever uh and he went out there and took it down uh so I’m going with that that’s going to be my betting card for the week uh Byron what let’s go with some of your bets for the week Kenny I’m gonna be just reciting a lot of the stuff that you said so just before I do that I want to mention just since 2012 in PJ championships in 2011 a debutant won the PJ Championship since then I’m just going to Rattle off the the best finishes in a major prior to the person winning that PGA Championship since 2012 first second first 2nd 7th 9th first first 35th first first first you have to for the most part have played well in Majors particularly a second place finish for me to find yourself on my betting card going into these major championships US Open it changes up a little bit it’s a little more lenient you know it’s a bit more of a biggest shot pattern over there so we checks out boxes oh well you know Brooks cooker just shows up since 2017 with eight top twos all wins 4 seconds that’s where we going with him we like Bryson 33 to1 so I got Brookie at 16 that’s out at bmgm I found that this morning I cashed out my 14 and went to the 16 so that gives me a bit of play to go with this 100 to one bet somewhere maybe Bryson we know he’s won a US Open of the stature what bomb gouge it out make the putts get going that’s what Bryson does I love that philosophy there Kenny we check the box for a win we check the box for bomber Windam Clark 40 to1 I grabbed the 40 this morning love it you know bomber major winner playing Great Golf right now and then Sith I’ve got him at 75 he’s the only guy that doesn’t have a second place but he does have that T9 at the Masters last year so he does have a top 10 in a major so that’s good to see it was Pat forced me into it a little bit I’ll be honest with you on the on the playby player show there but we dived in at a 75 afterwards it’s the Only Rule I kind of broke for not having a top two in a major but at 75 to1 I would lose my mind if sah the gala won the PJ championship and I never cash so that’s my get my betting card is pretty much the same as Kenny’s what I just have everyone that you have yeah that is fun we’re either going to be very happy or we’re going to be very very sad the will continue Kenny and I want to get on the heater with you so that’s good to know I’m I’m glad I’m all AB board that let me toss out my bubble us bets I’ve got a trio of toos demons you know so I’ll give you a little quick Story Time with the hell okay okay like what the hell the to lash A toal Lash back home in South Africa so this is like the South African segment of the show right it’s like we’re going to chat about the buas B so for those of you new babalas is a hangover so you know if you if you’re looking to get yourself on the straight and narrow after a rough week you know he has some bets that I can give you to get on that so I’m going to go with three guys and the reason I’m calling them the toos bets is because in South Africa the toos is like the the demon the devil you know like all the all my like um domestic workers that have worked for me every time I’ve gotone into their room their beds are on bricks because they believe the toos can’t get onto their bed if they’ve got their bed on bricks it’s like the Zulu cursed like demon devil like myth you know so the toos you know like if you’re really looking to mess with your your domestic worker that has lived with us forever you know you say sadly the toosh is coming for you if you like they are scared of the too l boy so I got the odds for my three top 40 bets at triple six so that’s why I’m calling these the toos Trio um it’s the Beast Number of the Beast baby Iron Maiden you got a l Iron Maiden funny thing the first time I heard that song was a Guitar Hero o that’s why I used to play a lot of guitar hero back in the day in my 20s uh now I don’t because the only way I could play it back then was when I was jacked up off my [ __ ] mind uh so of course that was my 20s basically when it comes down to it and so that was the only way I could get those the fingering down in Guitar Heroes I just did a [ __ ] gagger went ahead and did it but so I don’t play Guitar Hero anymore that doesn’t surprise me what what one little bit you know the fingers must have been working overtime back in your 20s on multiple counts so I can see you know you’re just really thriving there so my first bet okay is going to be these three guys for top 40s they are ridiculous in the top 40 Market in majors and I’ll start off with two very popular guys Wala Taurus has finished basically inside the top 40 in seven of his last 10 Majors this guy is a major Beast you know his second Strokes gain in Majors you know behind Scotty Xander sharley this dude rattles off top 40s like crazy I’d bet top 20s on both these guys but I really like the top 40 of the guy I’m going to get to here so these guys areus 130 for willly zus 320 for Xander but we’re going to go Patrick Rogers at plus 230 for a top 40 in a major he’s yeah now me yeah he’s done it four of the last five times he’s only played in US opens and PJ championships he’s missed one cut and I think he’s worst finish outside of that has been like a 47th like six of his last seven have been 47th or better he’s got two outside the top 40 four of his last five have been top 40 finishers 29th to 31st right in that range plus 230 at a track Kenny Obama’s narrative right what does Patrick Rogers do nukes it off the te so he’s only played in PGA championships in US opens he’s played pretty nicely in the inside the top 40 there in the last four of the last five so I really like that as like a as the core of my play and then just take those two top 40 perennial guys in the majors and just Juice It Up too the to I might steal that from you because I gotta be on a show tomorrow morning for betql and they always ask me for weird top 40 bets and I never know what to do so I’m going to steal that from you Byron let’s go Ken because you know the Rogers bet at plus 230 I mean this guy he’s been playing nicely as well this year you know so it’s not like he’s playing po heading into the week we’re going to catch some really good stuff from him and hopefully that can kind of keep rolling through so I’m a big believer in those bets I’m having a nightmare trying to find m actual um sheet that I have for all my other stuff that’s right over here so give me two seconds soundss good yeah so I mean again we’re going to be adding a little bit more to this betting segment week every week week in and week out we’re going to be doing our thing we’re going to be putting pushing more bets pushing more Underdog uh that’s something that we are definitely going to try and do and try to adjust uh when it comes to the podcast because in my opinion I think it’s just easier than DFS now we’re still going to be doing our DFS thing right we’re not going to be changing that but we’re going to be focusing a little bit more on bets and a little bit more on Underdog do you have your card now I do have my card now and I’m not entirely sure where these numbers go obviously they are likely to change but Rory maroy top 10 in a major at plus 110 I grabbed that last night on my research stream did a 4H hour 10-minute research stream last night by the way go check that out on back nine bits um covered pretty much everyone that we speaking about above 9,000 so Rory top 10 in majes he’s done it 50% of the time he’s done it 56% of the time in the last 12 months on PJ T tournaments so give me that a plus money in a major at Obama’s track go um Xander shafley we we got two plus 240 for a top 10 in a major so grab a Xander shafley top 10 this guy’s been doing it at a ridiculous clip so far this year now we go to majes where Xander sha has just been crushing he’s 74% top 10 major T10 rate was Xander shle folks like that is incredible so that’s an awesome Edge over there then Brooks Copa top five Kenny I’m going to lean in on you there I bet this guy to win the tournament we’re going to go plus 333 for a top five Rooks has got eight top twos in his most recent Star in 2017 love that very random bet going on here Colin Mari cow plus 320 this dude in Majors just what top 10 um top 10 yeah top 10 yep Conor marawi and Maes so far plus um sorry plus 320 for a major top 10 he’s doing it 53% of the time in Majors he just nuts up in these majes and I know this course might be a little too long for him but top 10 you can still get Colin sneaking in there you know he’s been dialing it in like crazy wam Clark I think you really want to go to him for the top five Market I think that’s plus 900 out there for a top five right that’s what wam Clark does in his last few starts on the PJ tour the 32% of his starts have been top fives 32% of his starts have been top 10s so if you’re betting wam Clark for a top 10 you might as well just bet him top five because every time he’s inside the top 10 he’s inside the top five so we love that for a wam Clark bet the willot Taurus top 10 plus 375 as well I know I’ve got a lot of top 10 guys here cuz I did a lot of these last night when that market was only out there but these numbers are really really big on guys that are really really good at finishing inside the top 10 and then my final bet is going to going to be Cameron young top 10 plus 425 this dude in Majors 45% of the time is inside the top 10 at Obama’s Paradise I mean what do we the the implied odds of 425 is 19% he’s doing it 45% of the time in Majors you know like that number seems these are all just really fancy numbers so love these for top 10 top fives I’ll be throwing out my breaking 100 article out later that’ll have some more top 20s in because those weren’t available when I was looking but that’ll be in there we’ve been cruising Tommy Fleetwood broke me a little bit last week you know with the top 10 bogy two of his last holes but we are having a good time getting these placements I love this board I love the top 10 market and a few of the top five guys there so let’s get after it this week I’m loving loving loving the board all right that’s awesome all right let’s move on let’s get to the course for this week let’s talk about Val Halla the second major of the year is upon us as golfers head to Louisville Kentucky for the PJ Championship from Valhalla country club this will be the four time valala has hosted the PGA Championship with Rory winning in 2014 at minus 16 tiger winning um I just wrote this wrong tiger winning in 2000 um in the year 2000 at minus 18 and then um of course Mark Brooks won here at minus1 um in 2000 I think 1996 uh now I’ve just lost my place but so when you play so when you play this there have been a couple of small changes uh since the the last time the course has arrived the first one of course is going to be a little bit of length it’s 150 yards longer than it was in 2014 now I don’t think that’s going to make too much of a difference here uh the club technology has been exponentially grown since the 2014 season so I don’t even think that extra length is really going to affect too much now the one thing that change that I think will affect uh a little bit is of course a zoa grass uh in the fairies that we talked about a little bit earlier some guys love playing in zoa some guys tend to have a little bit of trouble on zoa because they always think they’re gonna they can hit flyer lines because that ball sits up so crisply uh that sometimes they can get little fire lives when it comes down to it on Zoes so I think those are going to be the two biggest differences when it comes down to um since what we’ve seen uh in in in 2014 so um Co you know what so the reason why I’m struggling here is because I accidentally copied and pasted part of a proposal that I had into my into my Rite up I’m like why am I talking about drywall in the right so so give me one second let me catch up all right so so when Rory won uh you know the course was super wet uh and sof for most for you know for the Warriors win we could possibly see the same thing this week uh you know last week like I said they had flood warnings all through Kentucky uh now they have and now there have the zo of grass of course hopefully will help with that since you can handle the rain just a little bit better than the old grass that they had um now I don’t expect there to be massive rollouts but you know just a bit more than what we saw 2014 where balls just basically flopped um of course and then so you add the soft conditions and the fact you know it’s a little bit longer but the length really doesn’t really affect too much um you know I don’t think it’s going to play as difficult as we’ve seen in these previous um iterations of the PJ Championship last five or six years where single digit under par has won the reason I say this is because you know there’s three scorable par fives uh usually in these PJ championships in US opens there’s usually only two there’s three here there’s also two holes under um 400 yards they’re not drivable one could be D aable if they use a funky tea uh the other one’s not because it has an island green so everyone’s going to be laying up on that one but those five holes um you know you’re going to have to score on those holes and basically avoid mistakes on the other 13 and that’s how you’re going to be on top of the leaderboard when it comes down to it on Sunday take advantage of the par fivs take advantage of the shorter par Force you know and hold on for deer life on the other 13 now weather of course is going to play an important part this week the winds don’t look horrible as the highest gust I see as of Monday morning when I wrote this on Friday afternoon but it’s only projected to be around 17 miles per hour of course all this can change uh the issue is going to be the rain you know it’s supposed to rain cats and dogs on Tuesday with flooding potential and hail Wednesday looks overcast with a 50% chance of rain as well so it doesn’t look like the course has a lot of time to dry out before the first round Thursday actually looks pretty nice um but then you know we have another 90% chance of rain on Friday uh this should make the course wet and soft for at least the first two rounds uh and the weekend I thought looked a little drier but when I recently looked again it looks like it’s going to rain on the weekend again too so it looks like it’s going to be soft conditions uh which of course is going to make the course a little bit longer which of course is going to favor more Bob now let’s get to the med of course a Jack Nicholas designed Valhalla country club is a 7600 yard par 71 three par fivs four par 3es the par FS are long but scorable as all are between 570 and 595 yards the par 3es are tough with three being between 209 and 255 yards and the shortest one being 190 yards there are seven par fours between 450 and 510 yards two between 400 and 450 yards and two between 350 and 400 yards scoring will need to come from the par fivs and the short par fors like I said off the tea golfers are going to see average to above average with Treeline Fairways with bunkers in the landing areas and water on seven holes the rough will be um a long gnarly 4 in uh the tree line isn’t that close to the edge of the Fairway so golfers will have to miss very wildly they hit it into the trees t-shots that just missed the Fairway will not reach the tree line due to the rough being so hot uh the fairways themselves is always a grass which is a spongy type of grass where the ball will sit up nicely for approach shots uh now for S Ken they don’t like Zia because they expect flyer lies so we’ll have to see um now hitting it in the Fairway is important but if you look at the trends from the previous iterations of this event and vahalla you see that bombers tend to litter the first page of leaderboard um now I wouldn’t say totally dismiss uh short hitters but if you’re going to play a shorter hitter Mak sure they hit a lot of Fairways and make sure they’re strong with their longer irons and now on approach golfers are going to see some of the tiniest Greens on tour this season the greens average around 5,000 square fet in size these bent grass greens have a bit of uh undulation and they are trying to make them quick with a STI meter rating of around 13 um now if they can get it that fast under these wet conditions is something that won’t be answered until we see the event start now buckers surround the greens along with thickish rough uh the course doesn’t have the mow down edges like we see at austa uh and what will likely see at Pinehurst uh outside of a few holes where there will be a runoff area in the front of the green uh with the combo of a lot of long iron playing tiny greens short game could be important this week but it tends to short game tends to be easier on these type of courses with a little bit of thicker grass around the greens because you know you can pop that up get them get that club nice and underneath the club pop it up that’s pretty easy for most Pros even though even if they struggle around the green now what a lot of guys struggle with is when they have to hit it on tight lies um you know when you see an Augusta um you know and stuff like that where you see these tight lies where you have to judge the speed correctly um and stuff like that and I think it’s a lot harder to be able to control the speed of your ball when you’re when you’re going low right um and so I think that’s why a lot of golfers who struggle around the green struggle in that aspect uh now in this situation the greens they’re going to have a little a little bit thicker rough around so you can bring that sandwich nice underneath Pop the ball up control it really easy that’s pretty easy for most Pros even Pros who struggle around the gve what are you looking for in golfers this week Byron yeah Victor hin canny like when you’re speaking about chopping it out the Cabbage that’s what he does so that’s why he’s typically thrived at these kind of cabbage plats so interesting this week too because of what he did on Sunday yes right uh we’ll talk about that more but I I I’m I’m confused about what I should do with them but go on yeah I mean you’ve covered you covered it amazingly Kenny I mean about two-thirds of the shots are coming from 175 and out have to make sure you can and that just adds to the distance right because guys that are good from that range are usually guys that have tons of distance off the tea because they’re hitting shorter irons with more Loft more spin into these greens from further away that’s just a simple mathematical problem you know mathem mathemagical baby mathemagical I like that I like that the only one that kind of kind of dodges those mathem magical situations is the magical unicorn himself is’s like Cameron Smiths and the like right those guys that have Elite outs in the short game department that can get hot with the irons that can scramble you can find them in DFS I think those are guys I’m going to be looking to Target in DFS versus betting I want to take my my exposure and kind of lean into that over there because they’re not going to be popular because they don’t have distance off the te so here about here let me let me talk one thing interrupt you real quick about cam Smith and I know we’re GNA talk about to see it later but the thing about cam is I don’t think this is going to be a single digit type underpar event and I think that would be better for him getting it up and down because you know he’s gonna miss these greens he gonna get them up and down for par you’re gonna need some birdies here I think the winning score is going to be minus 12 to minus5 somewhere around there I mean and maybe even more because of course Roy won a minus 16 tiger won a minus 18 and it’s gonna be soft conditions um if it was going to be like a grinding type deal I would I would go with Cam more I’m thinking Cam’s a faade for him go ahead keep going yeah I mean that’s the thing any the the the pathway to success is that much more difficult that it’s that much more rough involved with him you know that’s it’s difficult to get there that’s why his ownership will be low if you are looking for that kind of stuff so you pretty much covered it all make sure you you dominate those par fives you know those short little flippy short par fours you got to make sure you take care of those and then just I need major dominance you know like I need guys that have played well in majors in the past who I will be rostering again for DFS top 10s are going to be very important for me because that likely means you got a good chance of finishing inside the top 10 again if you have one of those in the past so give me all the major experience give me all the distance let’s see what these guys can get up to all right so let’s get to these tiers I’m going to start in this 10K and up range and it’s a very interesting range to me I think there’s a lot of playable people I know biggest fan of the 9k range I’m not the biggest fan of the 8K range uh so I’m going to be picking a quite a few people up here let’s I’m going to go over the pros and cons of each guy uh let’s go over this real quick let’s start off with Scotty Sheffer of course the pros he’s been the best golfer in the world for the last couple of years uh he’s been winning he’s been amazing the cons he hasn’t won outside of southeast or Texas um you know once we get out of the bermudo once we get out of that type of area he’s never won um also of course he has it’s a newborn um it hasn’t been released but I’m I’m almost 100% sure it’s already been born uh and and then and so he’s he’s been having to deal with being a new father uh and these all these new things so that would be a con uh in my place now uh what do you now uh Byron do you play sheffler this week any I’ve I can’t figure him out every time I roster him I can’t get the other Five Guys right every time I don’t roster him he beats my ass like that’s just the scotf the dilemma I’m in right now at least we get the 5K range at 132 that’s nice I’ll mention a guy down in the 5Ks later that I will be potentially pairing it up with Scotty but just the con is the fact that Brooks kubka is $2,400 cheaper than he is yes that’s that’s definitely another con you know so that is the tough tricky part because I can put so many better golfers in for that $2,400 price tag outside of you know Brookie that it’s just so difficult to go to him at that price yeah I mean here’s the thing like if his ownership is low I gotta play him right I’m GNA play one of Scotty Rory Rong I’m gonna play at least one of those and of course Rory and positives are going to be he’s coming off two wins he’s woned this place before Immaculate driver of golf ball and his cons are the man hasn’t won a major in 10 years now is this one of his best opportunities probably yes and a lot of people GNA be on him what do you think ownership wise he’s got he’s got to be up there I think he’s going to be higher than Scotty right I would imagine just but if we go Brooks Xander John ROMs Rory and Scotty it’s going to be Xander will likely be one of the most high owned guys I think because of his price at 109 yeah um people just love him he’s safe and just reliable and he’s 109 he’s not 125 you know that’s the thing it’s it’s so much cheaper to roster him then I’d say Rory with Brook I’d say Brooks potentially could be also one of the highest guys but then John Ram will be the lowest owned guy what try get that’s the guy I know I’m going to play that’s where I want to be going to yes I am gonna be playing John ROM now I want and here’s the thing like I was thinking either I was thinking about playing oberg until I saw the reports from earlier today there’s a guy on site uh who was uh who’s tweeting and following oberg and he said that on the first t uh after his drive he rubbed his knee 15 times walking to his ball in the Fairway that does not make me feel good about orberg I mean the thing is we might have thought that this was a something about rest right but the thing is I really didn’t think that just because you know he’s had two weeks off and then he’s he’s he’s he’s withdrawing from a tournament where it’s guaranteed money right I to me that felt like there’s something probably really wrong with him um and it is is he and supposedly is grabbing it uh people are going to hear that and he’s going to be lower owned than expected right in the beginning you would have expected him to be one of the three highest owned in this 10K range now with this information he could be one of the three lowest own um do you take the risk Byron what’s the magic number Kenny is it 5% he’s at 10% do we even catch single digits on this guy you know I think he would being that high owned regardless if he’s 5% I’m playing yes yeah well yeah that’s the thing I think even anything sub 10% you just match the F basically you know I think that’s the one way to get exposure but more information maybe maybe we find he he lands up withdrawing unfortunately maybe it doesn’t you know who knows but a knee injury for someone that’s as lanky as he is as powerful as he is not ideal you know that’s the problem will Z back situation same situation we saw how long it locked him out for yeah we’ll have to see what they get to but it’s scary it’s a scary situation so Ram just not having one on live having sucked it up at the Masters if you think about a factory Golf Course build for Ram it’s this one long iron the same way stick rough let’s go you know like this is what he does I think he’s embarrassed off to what he show exactly that’s exactly what I was gonna say and also I think he wasn’t able to prepare like he normally did for the Masters because it was new to him right he now that he’s been and lived for a little bit he understands what he needs to do how what he needs to do to be ready for a major which he wasn’t for the Masters I expect he will be for for this one and it’s not like he’s been playing like ass all year he hasn’t finished outside the top 10 in lit right most of his finishes are top five in live right um so it’s not like he’s play poor he just has a one we expect him to win at this point in time if he’s going to be the lowest owned um in this 10K range I’m I’m going to play uh this is something you know and it’s huge narrative but I think you’re right he’s embarrassed about how he performed I expect him to come out feeling as prepared as he possibly can be um and I think he’s gonna have a good showing and I do like John ROM in gpps attention and of course kka is going to be my first cash game Cornerstone of course we’ve talked about him already we know what’s up he’s going to be my first cash G Gordon Stone another interesting guy is morow um I I when I first did my cash game cornerstones I had him and kka because of course we can go down to the 5K range we can sort of Stack up here and get these [ __ ] studs uh in your cash lineup but the more I thought about it because the thing is last week his short game was excellent and he hit almost every Fairway right if he can hit every Fairway have great short game he was one of the best Putters in the field last week it is it’s going to come down to his iron game and I wish it was better last week it’s still was middle of the road uh and you know something is off on his iron but whenever he gets to these big stages at a major he just seems to come through like no matter what um I am not sure if I’m going to play him but he is definitely someone I am thinking about just because of his prowess at Majors and he is I think one of the shorter hitters that can farewell uh at this event um who are you playing in this range paari CWA in 2023 around the greens on PJ to a ranked 97th in this field in Majors around the green 26th in 2023 pting 98 on the PJ tour in this field in Majors 24th when the short game shows up for Colin in these in these majes this short game was really good last week and now we have this short game showing up the the iron proximity from 200 and out has gone to [ __ ] like it is not existence it’s like south of the 25th percentile on the PGA tour this year it’s south of the 50th percentile the last 12 months you’re going to see so many long iron shots come from that range but guess what we saw all of that come from from that range at Augusta you know you see a lot of long irons at Augusta where did Colin finish inside you know the top 10 again like this guy will likely catch a little less ownership because the irons have gone a bit South you know but in Maes he’s incredible he’s absolutely incredible so we can expect that short game to kind of save him you know if those irons kind of get rough um I’ll be playing Brooks as well that price is just are you fading Rory and Sheffer like I am I think I’m going to have to fade one of them Kenny I I’ll have you have to roster somebody um I don’t think I’ll be rostering Xander because I need a guy that’s going to win it for me you know like I need if I’m going to be paying in the 10 10 nines 10 fives I need someone that can win this thing Colin’s got two he’s not looked the most comfortable in contention but he’s at 10 to you know might be my second guy in maybe after a Brooks so that’s how I’m I’ll be looking at it this week I do like the nines a lot more than than I think you do Kenny I don’t like him that much but what about Canley you know people have have said that this sort of mimics mirfield Village which he’s won a couple of times um and he sort of tends to play well on these B grass type long courses um you know he didn’t really do that well last week but he played well at the heritage is this his time is this where he’s going to be under overlooked and we should be thinking about playing him you’ll be overlooked rightfully so if you take a look at top five Majors he’s got 18% top five major rate that sounds like a lot the rest of the guys above him 47 52 35 46 67% like two out of three times they finishing fifth or better yeah candi’s only doing it like one in every five you know it’s just it’s not good enough for me at this price and the thing is I said this with Pat on the show is like the only thing going good for candy right now is the play that the fact that he’s playing bad the expectations are lower than because he’s not playing well and that’s the only thing is that a good thing or a bad thing you decide that ownership’s going to be low but you know rightfully so so w um scary stuff for him so I say I’m we gonna fade Rory and Sheffer but that’s not 100% true I’m definitely gonna play Ron I’m definitely gonna play K because he’s one of my Cashin cornerstones and then it’s either gonna be more cow or one of those two up top it’s just going to be depending on ownership and it’s going to be depending on how I can do my lineups uh we’ll have to see how that goes but I’m definitely playing kka Cas in Cornerstone definitely playing Ram those are my two guys uh that are going to be in this 10K range let’s go to the 9k range why don’t you tell me who you like it seems like you love yeah so obviously the Windham Clark Bryson D Shambo love is going to show up right away that’s GNA be very popular along with Willie Z I think those will be three guys I will definitely be looking to roster um you know wam not so much the thyr breed major track record but the other two have shown us they can do it cam Smith like I said you know I think I will be rostering him as my super low owned guy in this range he’s always low owned in these in these things and guess what at oakill he somehow managed to finish inside the top 10 you know like that’s just what cam Smith does he’s a scrappy son of a [ __ ] and I love it you know I love that about him but Max Homer is going to be my secret dark horse in this range too he he’s going to be the pivot off of JT and Neeman who have done nothing in m mes for the last little while Max historically bad he’s 132nd if I’m using historical Strokes gain data from Mages you know since 2017 but what do we see from Max T10 at the open third at Augusta that’s too palpable for me to ignore I have to manually adjust him all the way up I don’t think he’s got the skill set off the te to win this tournament but at at $9,700 my second guy in let’s go I think I can definitely get behind Max Homer now that he’s playing golf especially people keep guming on to he’s a bad major player got two back-to-back top 10 now and Max is on the Move we’re very similar Max is going to be my favorite gpp play uh in the 9k range we spoke about why I mean again it looks like he’s ready it looks like he’s getting to the point where he can really contend at a major like he did at the Masters um and I could see that from him this week on this course so he’s my favor cash Cornerstone number two is going to be Bryon the Shambo two live guys uh who I like uh again my motto for cash this week is going to be long dong golfers you know they got to have the big Johnson uh that’s just the way it’s going to be uh that’s how every single one of my golfers in my cash lineup they are all top 30 in the world in driving distance uh and I think that’s going to be super important and so I’m going to go ahead and have Bryson as my second uh cast game Cornerstone he’s going to be able to hit it far he’s going to be able to the thing about the the reason why Bryson succeeds so well in es uh where you know Fairways are missed and the rough is very high is because he’ll be able to hit like his pitching wedge but or his or his or wedge or a nine iron but he’s using like a six iron length club right which is he going to give him so much more power to to to cut through that grass uh it’s a huge Advantage uh for him to have those type of clubs be extra long uh his shorter irons be that long to cut through that grass a lot easier and a lot stronger uh and so I do like Bryson a lot and I like wiam Clark again last week I really didn’t um I’m not really too worried about it I think he can step up this seems like it could be his type of course of course his iron game has been you know really above average making a ton of birdies uh of course he’s long off the tea so I I’m a big fan of Windam Clark but my third cash can Cornerstone is going to be in the bottom here it’s going to be cyon um again I don’t think he’s get his first win um at a PJ Championship but a runner up a top five I could definitely see that again another guy it’s long great with his longw arms that’s going to be a theme that I’m going with today with my cash game cornerstones anybody else in the 9k range we move on we can I mean you you if you’re looking for a very severe pivot Victor hland okay let’s talk about Victor yeah let’s talk about Victor because go ahead so Victor havland same thing as Colin Mara in Majors we’ve got a decent enough sample size now to figure this out he’s been a perennially bad chipper of the ball we know this about Victor for his entire career but in Majors Victor havland 32nd in Strokes gain sorry 29th in Strokes gained around the green he was 99th in 2023 so a massive Jump Around the greens and then the Ping obviously is 16th in Majors like what happens with these guys they show up to these courses they can be bad Putters but in major events something about it keny I don’t know if it’s the thick grass or the fact that it’s just a major and these guys just have the the ability to tap into a better skill set that they should do every time they’re on the PGA T but we can see him bounce back and I think at low ownership he’s a dark horse that can you would not be shocked if he’s at the top of the leaderboard but also you know the the safety there is missing in a big way right now well I mean here’s the thing I mean he looked good last week getting almost five ball striking he gained about 3.2 T to Green because he lost Strokes around the green and putting um so like here’s the thing it looked like his ball striking is coming back a little bit right uh and the thing it really has never been like awful he still gained Strokes with his approaches in four of his last five uh measurable events so it’s tempting I don’t know if I’m going to go there but it’s possible and if you’re looking for a pivot I mean he might be the guy I actually added then winning this event early in the preseason like in December when we did me and Tambo did our uh look ahead uh I didn’t expect him to change coaches 27 times and suck ass uh but hey here we are so I it’s tough I I don’t know if I’m G to be able to pull the trigger on him and if I do I’d probably have to get rid of Windham Clark um wind i’ probably have to get rid of Windam Clark for him so I don’t know we’ll see how that plays out it’s possible it happens um but I think both of them shouldn’t be that highly owned so I think I’m going to pick one uh we’ll see how that goes but let’s move on to this 8K range again not the biggest fan I got two guys that I think I’m looking at um in the top range and that’s going to be Tommy Fleetwood and Hideki Maan Hideki when you play long hard courses with thick Ruff he one of the best out there um I’m not too worried about his injuries like he says he’s injured I don’t think Miss I don’t think he’s going to miss this event uh for you could and you’re going to have low ownership because people are going to be you know wary of clicking that button for him after he screwed everybody uh this past week so you could get him at reduced ownership and I think he fits perfect for this course I think fleetwood’s just been playing well uh he’s coming in with a couple of good finishes uh he should have finished in the top 10 last week and know he finished third uh he finished in the top 10 at the what RBC uh if I yeah so he’s coming in with decent form uh you know that he’s played well at Majors in the past uh so I do like lewood and then if we’re goingon to go down a little bit um I’m seah we’ve already spoken about let you talk about him I like Patrick greed um if you look at the top 10 Strokes gained Tia green at Majors in the last I guess five years uh five to seven years he’s inside the top 10 uh in and so the guy another guy who just sort of steps it up when it comes to Majors he could play like ass but for some reason when it comes to Majors he sort of steps his game up and I like Patrick Reed and it would be amazing if he wins this event just because people hate it so much uh I don’t think he will but I think he’s gonna play well so I do like Reed who do you like in AK rage Patrick Reed with 63% top 20 rate in majes you know like since 2017 so he’s got that pedigree unfortunately the top five rate goes all the way down to 13 you know so the the upside with Reed not quite there but at 8K that 20 top 20 rate in a major is exactly what you’re looking for siah he’s becoming a very good long iron player his driver has transformed into a weapon now it was a Bugaboo I was always comparing siah to cam Smith because he can scramble he can putt he can Chip he’s a good iron player every now and then the driver is all over the place no longer the comp he’s an all round exceptional golfer we know that about zah I also do want to mention Shane Lowry as we getting out of here Shane Lowry in majes putting he putts well in them for some reason you been putting like complete ass the last little while so um we’ll see what you’re gonna get him super low ownership and again he he’s coming in like Rory with a full win right he want he want that joke I don’t did he play last week I didn’t I don’t even know I don’t know because I think he’s been getting sponsors exemptions into all of these events I think I think he was way down at the bottom of the leader board early I think I saw like saw shanee like plus five early yeah I defin 47 he 47 I don’t know if you know he winner he can play good golf I also want to mention Kenny your B fish boy Jordan Speed just before you know it everything’s going fine and the next thing we just got [ __ ] leaking everywhere and that’s Jordan speed for you right like it’s just too much is is the butterfish player butterfish Jordan Speed he’s the butterfish player I I I like that all right let’s get to this 7K range um I mean there’s I like a lot of these guys in the upper 7K I’m going to be playing Jason day I’m going to be playing Sun JM I’m G to be playing sew Kim uh but the guys that really catch my eye is my is gonna be Benny on um he’s he’s in my cash lineup not one of my cash game cornerstones but he’s in my cash lineup for this week another guy who bombs it off the team one of the longest players out there who is strong who who plays well with his long irons he’s a really really strong form coming in I really do like Benny um I like jepi JPI sta at 7500 another guy yeah another guy who plays exceptionally well in difficult situations who seems to man up when the when he’s playing against the big dogs and at that price it seems like a very very good deal give me a little bit of St at 7500 Cory coners another guy I do like when it comes to Long coures thick Ruff he’s top five in the field in Strokes gain TAA green uh now it hasn’t really correlated to us opens and PJ championships but at some point it’s going to um he’s not my favorite okay my favorite’s going to be to I spoke about but I’m definitely gonna play a little bit of Cory Connors in this upper 7K range who do you like in the upper 7K in the upper sevens I have to second Benny on with you there Kenny I mean this guy has just Korean sensation his way to now what backto back top fives in his last two starts you know and that that was Bunny Ranch and that was whale I mean those are two yeah totally different venues you know um long golf courses but different type of nature so love what Benny AR’s been up to minu Lee at these big bomo Paradise gouged out the rough scramble your way to minus 10 you know that’s all I need Min to do I’m cool with that you know this guy’s got immense distance off the tea love him a lot um a sneaky little guy that no one’s going to be playing because he been playing like a little bit of crap lately is Tom Kim and I know it’s because this guy’s got no distance off the te blah blah blah all of that he he’s just got this major thing in these majes he’s found it I mean watching that Netflix Doc is probably doing this a bit more to me but that ankle to finish second at the Open Championship with an ankle that he could barely walk on once it was unwrapped like that’s awesome you know like this guy’s a major guy and he’s doesn’t fit the course profile whatsoever short yucky you know like he’ll be low owned and he’s got a major pedigree like nobody else you know I mean this guy’s been been firing in the Mages the last little while so love him bottom of the sevens Dean berer Steven jerger two thorough breed ball striking guys turn Long Dong bong you know like um Long Dong Jer yeah I guess whatever we’ll we’ll just we’ll figure it out but the boys have got the long dongs down there in the sevens and and that’s where I’m going to be going so love those two in particular with jer’s Elite play out the rough one guy that I didn’t miss I think I’m gonna play that everyone hates his Taylor G uh $7,600 it’s put up or shut up time for him right yeah he needs to perform if he doesn’t perform in here everything he says just be he just be laughed at you know he doesn’t want to do that and I think he has the skill to play well uh the guy want a bunch on live he’s going to be extremely motivated um it’s he’s either gonna blow the [ __ ] up or he’s going to be in contention yes um I think he I think Miss cut or top 20 uh is basically what I’m seeing from Taylor G and you know at$ 7600 whatever gbbs that’s fine you know if you can get a top 20 top 10 from him because the guy has skill the guy can win we know that is he a [ __ ] dick is he stupid does he talk out of his mouth the talk out of his neck does he say stupid [ __ ] yes all the [ __ ] time does everybody hate him yes everyone hates him but that should keep his ownership down uh and I think he has a chance to do well uh so I’m gonna play little Taylor gu and I like your Jagger I like the um the yger call and I like the um uh who was the other guy that you you were talking about joerger and who else Jager and brim you can hit along I like noren uh again at 7 another guy who plays well on long difficult courses with thick Ruff uh it’s just something that he does well throughout his career uh he’s really good from 400 to 450 to 500 yard par Force he also avoids Bogies very well he’s top five in bogy of wins in this field in the last 24 rounds um so I can get behind a little bit of noring as well and I’ll be playing ba as well also like I talked about uh he’s won on this course before uh it should bring good feelings he won of month ago that should bring good feelings uh so hopefully he can do something this week because I do like him all right let’s go to the 6K R I’ll go ahead with my final casat g Cornerstone it’s going to go all the way down to the bottom of the 6K range it’s Taylor pendrith right he’s really really impressed me the last two weeks of course I had him 75 to one uh at TPC Craig Ranch and then he he backs that up with a top 10 top 15 at Wells Fargo with an elevated field in super difficult conditions again the one similarity between those two hes is a lot of long iron play um and so when it comes so you know he’s been doing pretty well on that now when you just look at his stats from overall they’re about average when it comes to it but he’s been doing better in these last couple events I’m going to ride that heater when it comes down to him and of course going down this low he can afford me CAM young riceing the Shambo and Kea up top and Ben on right and then another guy I like who may or may not be in my cash lineup Keith Mitchell at $6,800 who’s made three of his he made like his last three cuts on Majors not the best major record but he’s made his last three Cuts in Majors he’s made three in a row at the PGA Championship his last major appearance was last year at the US Open and that was his best major finish in his career he finished 20th so he’s coming off you know the last time he played a major was his best finish so I’m again another guy who could just nuke the ball out there uh again that’s that’s basically what I’m going for for my cornerstones and my cash lineup this week so I really do like Keith Mitchell at $6,600 mik yes go ahead Rory maroy Bryon Des Shambo Brooks Scotty all in the field who’s gained the most Strokes off the tea in PJ championships and US Open I’m I’m guessing Keith Mitchell yeah he just sucks why would you not play the guy yeah but I mean the most important part get it out the way that’s gonna save you you know that’s safe in my opinion yep so my Cascade cornerstones for this week are going to be Brooks Kea at 10,800 ryson the Shambo at 9600 cam young at 9,000 Taylor pendrith at 6,000 this leaves you like 146 which is plenty of money you could go down to the five and go back up to the N if you wanted right you could go that route now for me I have 6K and a 7K both I and that’s how I’m going uh with mine uh with my last two so those are my cash G Corners Jones other guys I do like in this 6K range it has a fair amount of good golfers I mean like a Aaron Ry uh he’s going to be a stack do rank number 10 uh in in my model he’s going to be hitting a lot of Fairways that’s going to be good for him and of course he is uh inside the top 20 in both proximity from 175 to 200 and 200 plus uh I a huge fan of Aaron Ry uh this week at 6,700 uh Kirk kyama hasn’t missed a cut I can’t remember the last time he may missed a cut it’s been a long ass time for for kittama of course another bomber who could hit it out there uh he’s at $6,500 uh Billy Orel a little Memorial comp who’s been playing a lot better golf um I could see him being a very low owned uh High upside type guy maybe a top 10 top 20 of in this field because he’s done it before at at of course similar mfield Village super long you know what I’m saying and against the big dogs he he’s he won’t shy away um Taylor Moore a guy who hasn’t missed a cut in Forever again I thought about him in cash but I decided I had more cow and more in the beginning but I decided to switch to Bryson and Mitchell uh and so those are there’s plenty of guys in the 6K range to play who Do you like I prefer that P Kenny in general because I just feel like the upsides a bit better there along with the safety from the other two guys that you’re getting um Grayson Murray finished T10 at Wells Fargo I played him instead of mini at Bay Hill I’ve been playing Grayson as my punt play at these courses with thick rough uh emphasis on driving distance and scrambling Grayson Mar is very good off the tea distance-wise and he’s very good at scrambling well how much is he $5,300 oh we’re going to the 5K now yeah oh sorry did I just I just dived right into like I like him that much you know like that’s the guy I’m in the mood for um a lighter version of him is Sammy valaki at $5,300 as well think about it Long Dong finished guy you know like he was right in the mix at Mexico which is another long ass Golf Course right so if we can see these guys take care of business at $5,300 then you’ve got some love at the top there so I’m in the mood for him thristan Lawrence another South African guy that’s shown up in these random majes here and there $5500 so I’ll toss out a toasty as well toasty’s got so much distance off the tea and he’s a Scrambler guy you know like what did he get up to at the Houston you know that’s a very similar kind of a golf course lots of distance needed long irons tricky drivers you know like give me toasty $5500 know it’s his first first few Big Boy events but he’s been playing good um I love this 5K range especially with these guys that have been playing quite nicely you can be reliable on these kind of venues that they played a lot of in the city there’s definitely some great plays I mean David pig is a guy who’s probably not going to be three 4% owned who has immense skill who was won a couple of times uh in various different tours uh you know this season uh you have McKenzie Hughes who loves tough courses who was in contention early uh during the week last week at Wells Fargo uh you have van royan who is the best from 175 to 200 in this field in the last 24 rounds uh that’s another eot another guy who just excellent at an approaches coming off a really strong major finish in his last timeout I forget which one it was uh but he did have a pretty strong finish in his last major uh Luke list a guy who could hit the ball a mile um who’s who’s you know been in contention at you know Honda another long horse that’s tough with thick rough uh you know real hisat tuna guy and make it 1% own finish 13th of the CG CJ cup really good around the greens um you know hits a lot of Fairways very good from 175 to 200 and very good around the greens like I said he’s another guy who well no one will own him right yeah I mean there there’s there’s guys down here that you can play I like the Grayson Murray call I might even think about Vincent nor Norman a winner across the pond down here at 5300 I mean you have choices and that’s why I don’t think it’s impossible to roster Scotty and still be able to come out with a good lineup amen baby amen there’s lots of options down there all right anything else before we move on I guess we’ll finish with one and done let’s finish with one and done I don’t have too much oil we got the PJ behind us it’s it’s going to be fun Kenny I’m nervous I Feel Like We Got Something Brewing still first place in the slider cup which is the the league I play with one international and one USA player each week this week it’s going to be kepka and long we’re going live baby we’re going to live in the Mayo I had hom last week who finished top 10 but I dropped 400 spots because a lot of people had Rory uh and so I’m like 500 in 500th place um I think I’m just going to go kepka there too that makes sense I would go kka I think I’ve burned him already I would go Ram instead you know just because I haven’t used him yet if you’re looking for a oneandone token that’s going to go off I know Xander just I had Xander last week obviously could missed out on a decent chunk of change I bet at Scotty at the Genesis and then he went and won four of his next five you know so I bet Xander last week let that be know um I bet Rory at the RBC Heritage then he went and won the Zurich and quail you know so this is my last little while I’ve been on oneand done train so my pick from last week was zanda

I love this intro
Loved when you told this one to tambo 😂
The Foo Man Chu stache 😂 I love it bro.
Bro don't lie you had the hangover shits and Sharted on that poor girls couch🤣 💩🛋️
I have to say out of all the DFS shows I've watched so far this one has to be the absolute most honest more Kenny's take than the South African sorry I can't remember his name but 1 thing I have to say is the reason Wyndham Clark and Victor Hovland ownership is low is because they Fucking suck they should be low 7000 range never listen when they say ownership pivot it just means they suck💯
nomo buttafish bro……goodshit kenny
I laugh uncontrollably every time I hear the butterfish story. Legendary. Have a fun week boys.
Before Cust picked Bryson, he was my pick for the pga championship. My other pick outside Scottie, Brooks and Rory is Max Homa. Great show guys!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kenny that was the best story ever. 😂 Great show guys. Good luck to everybody on their plays.
Bro shit on her couch😂😂😂😂😂 he said sliding around 😭
Kenny pulling off the Paul Skenes !!!
