Welcome everyone to Two Off the Tea Fantasy Sixpacks Golf DFS and Gambling Show. I am your host Keith Fleming, joined as always by my good friend, host of ESPN Northwest Florida’s Inside Drive. Let’s get this plug right, Ryan. 11 to 1 Monday through Friday. That’s Central time. If you’re Eastern, it’s 12th time zone in the country. Uh, you doing okay, Ryan? Yeah, you know, all things considered, I’m I’m doing just fine. Doing just fine. And then, man, very pumped to have this gentleman here, Greg Chararmm. I’ve already But yeah, no, right on the money, man. Now that now I can I can free flow. Now you can breathe. Now you can breathe. He is on Twitter as the real GFD. Um has an amazing podcast, the second cut podcast, formerly known as the first cut podcast. Correct. Yes, that’s right. Uh yeah, we’re we’re about just a couple weeks in to the Second Cut podcast, which as you can tell is a sequel edition. It’s been great so far. I’m very happy to see the show went on. I know that, you know, circumstances outside of control, which is the way all this stuff is. Uh meant, you know, you had to change the name and kind of go to a different uh you know, home, but very glad to see that’s there. You can follow that on YouTube. That is second cutgolfpod. I also linked that in the description. Do Greg a favor, do us a favor, go subscribe to that uh if you’re listening to this. And uh obviously we are here this week to talk mainly about the truest championship. Uh weird week because normally this event would be at Wells Fargo, but oh yeah, they’re playing a PGA championship there uh next week. So obviously they picked a different venue, but Scotty Sheffller uh going out and shooting rounds of 61, 63, 66, 63 to me felt like an absolute statement from a guy that I think doesn’t get the credit that he’s a real competitor because he’s just so quiet and calm. But you just don’t get good at something like this without being extremely comp. I mean, that was a non-s signature event, so you know, you can understand these guys make a ton of money. They’re flying all over the world playing golf. Like, it’s not the toughest life. And he still wanted to go out there and just destroy everybody. Uh he almost won the tournament just with this front nine score of 22 under. Uh only one player in the field, Eric Vuan, uh would have beat just that front nine score uh from Sheffller. And now all of a sudden you have Scotty obviously doing Scotty things again right back to winning. I think it’s his 10th win in the last calendar year. And then we know Rory three wins already this season. The big obviously monkey off the back of finally getting that major finally you know joining that epic list of just the six golfers all time that have won all four Grand Slams. And this is no disrespect to the rest of the PGA Tour and golf in general, but this really feels like the Rory Sheffler show for the rest of the year. Greg, I’m all in for it. What do you think about like what is going on right now? Well, I find it to be absolutely fascinating. Um, and I’m psyched to be here, guys. So, thank you for having me first of all. Appreciate you. Glad to have you on, man. Appreciate And I love this topic as well because I I think you have two of the best competitors that the game has seen in a really long time. I I get I mean Rory’s been doing it for a long time already, but when you watch Scotty Sheffller, especially last weekend, it was a uh well, if you’re playing against him and not so pleasant reminder that he hasn’t gone anywhere, you know, and that the the thing that saved the PGA Tour and maybe helped create all these storylines heading into the PGA Championship was him trying to make some raviolis on, right? The only thing that seems to be able to beat him is a is a wine glass. You’d think you’d think with all of his success from last year, he could hire a chef. Like like Roy, that was my first thought is like, dude, you don’t have a like I would definitely have a chef if I had that kind. Who wants to cook? Oh, it’s just uh just incredible. But you look at his game and it’s a game that everybody is kind of copying. They’re admiring. they’re uh they’re inspired by it and they’re working harder to try to catch this guy because it just doesn’t seem like he ever hits a bad shot. And it’s very different from this is actually something we were talking about on the second cut podcast earlier. It’s very different from when Bryson Dashambo got in the gym and got really big and changed his body and added all of his distance. A lot of guys started to chase speed to try to catch him. But the way Scotty’s going about it is through a game of control and now and he has plenty of length too. So now you’re seeing like a Rory Mroy who has all this distance, has all this speed and now he’s trying to apply Scotty’s decision making, uh Scotty’s discipline, Scotty’s control and iron play. He’s trying to apply that to his game and it’s it’s done wonders for him. You could make a very clear argument that Rory Mroy winning this Masters, Scotty Shuffler had a lot to do with that. Um because I I think it’s inspiring. And I’ll say this going forward if Rory was sitting on his high horse at all after winning the Masters. First of all, we would all understand I think the competitor in him looks at what Scotty did last week and got a little wakeup call. Hey, these next two weeks in order to compete in the PGA Championship, I’m gonna have to step up because uh Scotty didn’t go anywhere. Even if like what uh Spe said uh when Rory said, you know, uh you’re going to get your grand slam at the PGA Championship and he’s like, “Yeah, at the place that’s basically your playground and you won four times.” Sure. Thanks. I appreciate that. Country Club. Ryan, before you get into the this, you know, the two best guys in in a long time, Jamie wants to know, is this going to be more competitive than Shooter and Happy Gilmore? Because remember that came down to the wire, bro. It did. It did. I mean, and you know, as long as there’s not a guy driving around a Volkswagen bug, hopefully we should be okay. But, you know, Happy Gilmore 2 is coming out in a few short months. But, uh, you know, Hap, it took a while for Happy to get to the level of Shooter McGavin. Obviously, he had a lot of flash and all that prior to that, but eventually caught up because Chubs taught him how to uh putt. And you know, kind of like what we’ve been talking about with Sheffller, Keith, is week in and week out, his ball striking numbers are so fantastic. But we saw last week what it looks like when his putting is good as well. And he is just purely unstoppable right now. And the PGA Tour couldn’t have asked for a better scenario heading into the PGA Championship and three more majors to go, including the FedEx Cup playoffs, all that good stuff. when now you’ve got two highprofile guys, completely different personalities. One very quiet, kind of goes about his way, and one a little more boisterous, and I think that’s the Northern Ireland in him, of course. But, you know, it’s a PGA’s tour dream with everything going on right now. You’ve got two guys that are so good at golf that are going to move the needle for the viewers, the watchers, the listenerships, and all the stuff that we’re doing. So, I think it’s uh obviously fantastic for the game of golf in a time when golf has kind of been going through these trials and tribulations with the live tour and the signature events and the viewership and all that stuff. So, terrible coverage. Yeah. Yeah. Talking uh talking of watching people five stick a fivefooter for two minutes. I’m like, we can’t see a shot in this whole two minutes. You just wasted my life. What about Bryson though? Like I think that don’t forget I know he had a really disappointing Sunday at Augusta and I get that but this dude just won the US Open. He’s winning on live. He’s playing great uh in majors just in general. He’s one of the few live guys that seems to now have kind of figured it out where he shows up plays very well at most of them. And God almighty. I mean, could you imagine like those would be the three most popular golfers in the world right now by a significant margin and they’re arguably playing the best golf and if we could see them in the majors mixing it up because as much as people want to talk about like the Tiger Phil rivalry, it never really was a rivalry. Yeah, it was always Tiger and then Phil and and Phil had his moments of course. Yeah, he won his masters plural, but they just weren’t mixing it up a lot, you know, on like the weekends, you know, in any majors really. There I think there was only like four times they were paired together on Sunday, uh, in their career and majors. Uh, obviously had the Beth Paige Black, uh, you know, US Open that Tiger ended up kind of running away with in the end. But um I you know I shared a tweet, you should check it out where just all the stats between Rory and Sheffller and how they’re basically like first and second just across the board. It’s outrageous. What to me is so ironic is how similar through this point in the season. Sheffller’s year last year was compared to Rory’s this year. Sheffller at this, you know, like let’s just go through Augusta. He had played nine times already had three wins. He won the players. He won at Augusta. You could add Bay Hill for him. Uh his worst finish in those nine starts, 17th. Rory this year has played six individual events. He’s won three of them, four top fives. His worst finish this season, 17th. He won at Augusta, he won at Sawrass, and he won at Pebble. So, uh, to your point, like it’s almost like Rory, I think, has been inspired by Sheffler just beating the brains out of everybody, uh, last year to where I just saw a clip the other day of Tiger on, I think it was like a tailor made promotional thing asking Sheffer like, “How many did you win last year? Eight, nine?” You know, and it’s like Tiger’s one of the few guys that understands you forget how many wins you have in a year when you win that often, you know? They just kind of all uh, run together. But the big thing I want to know because there’s just a few questions then we’ll move on to this week’s event. If you had to guess right now if either one of these guys or both of these guys wins one of the next three majors like what is your percentage of confidence in each that either one of them wins one of the next three or even say they both win one of the next three? I I think uh one of them winning is highly likely. Highly likely. Um now look, Bry, you brought up Bryson and I think Bryson’s a factor. So we look at just take it one by one. You go to Quail Hollow. Rory’s won there four times. Yeah. Uh so it obviously works for him. But I think even even beyond that, there’s a reason why Rory and Quail Hollow get along so well. And it’s something that um you know, I’ll be talking a lot about next week. There is a huge advantage to be had off the tea which is rare on the PGA tour. Now you can really separate yourself with just a couple miles an hour. If you remember the well last year it was the Wells Fargo. Rory and Xander were in the final group and there were a number of holes where they actually played in the final group Saturday and Sunday. There are a number of holes where Rory took a line that Xander couldn’t. their difference in ball speed last year is like it’s under 5 miles an hour. You know, Xander’s a long hitter. That’s significant though. 5 miles an hour is a big difference. You know, it may even have been less. But it but the point is if Rory was second on the PGA Tour in distance, Xander might have been I don’t remember off the top of my head, but like 12th. You know, long really long. He was 123 mph at club head speed last year. That’s in the neighborhood with Rory Mroy. But Rory’s able to take lines that Xander isn’t. And so the first hole is a great example. Xander hits one a more traditional line down the center of the fairway and he hits it 324. Well, Rory hits it 340. So he hits it 20 yards farther than him. But because he took a different line and was able to cut off so much of the corner, he’s 60 yards closer on his approach shot. So a a 5 mph difference in ball speed or let’s say a 3 mph difference in ball speed which you know might make the difference of a club or two into a green normally is all of a sudden making the difference of four clubs right into into a green at Quail Hollow specifically and super firm fast green. So difference exactly and so Rory’s able to stop it a lot sooner than Xander and and that’s why ultimately he’s able to outpace him by it was three or four strokes. Now I do think Bryson can handle that at Quail Hollow as well. So we are look we’re set up for a another Rory Bryson final group at Quail Hollow based on that. Now Scotty Scotty will answer that question differently. He’ll play the lion Xander plays, but he can make up the four club difference with superb unmatched iron. What was it? The three iron he hit from 230 on Sunday to like three feet after his one bogey. And I’m like, this is ridiculous. I mean like how do I mean that was what made Tiger Tiger is I know people want to talk about the putting and you know the wedge game and the everything. It was his irons and it was the same thing with Jack. Like when you were so much better than everybody else with basically, you know, your six, five, four, three iron, those guys can even hit two irons. It just makes it a totally different world because I mean, even if Rory is 30, 40 yards in front of Sheffller, most days I would take Sheffller, you know, with a five iron in his hand over Rory with like a seven, eight iron. And he’s the only guy you can say that about. Exactly. So I I I mean I really do think at Quail those guys will separate themselves. There’s an opportunity for that. Now you go to the US Open and the US Open at Oakmont. Well, Rory has come in second the last two years in the US Open. I believe it’s four straight top 10s in in US. Yeah, he’s played he’s just played great in majors. I mean, unfortunately, you know, without the win now, historically looking back, it was like with Xander last year. Once they have the win, then you’re looking back go, “Man, this has been a great like three, four, you know, year run in the majors.” Yeah. The seconds become building blocks instead of a problem. Now, Bryson has won two US Opens. You know, you know, he can handle that kind of golf course and and it seems to be around the industry. Oakmont seems to be built for Scotty. I think every golf course is built for Scotty, but that seems to be a very popular take now. So, you know, between the next two US uh two majors alone, um it looks pretty darn good for Scotty and Rory. Then you then you add um Royal Port Rush into the mix in Northern Ireland and and that is another really inspiring thing for Rory that I actually a lot of pressure though. Like that’s the one thing I worry even with everything from Augusta. Like you I just know that he would have to be putting extra pressure on himself. And anybody who’s played golf at any kind of high level knows the minute you add more pressure on top of, you know, just the pressure that comes with golf, playing competitive golf, it’s a really tall task to win anywhere. I think it’s hard to add more pressure than what he just went through. Oh, that’s very fair. No, that’s a very fair point. No, perhaps he’s learned something. And I’ll add one more thing. Yeah. That just having that event that is it could be Rory’s last chance to go and win a major in his home country at Port Rush. He knows that. Uh he doesn’t want to let that slip. What that’s going to do is inspire him now. He’s not going to sit on his high horse because he won the Masters. He’s going to work towards that. And Lori is working towards something. Yeah. Hopefully not. I mean, what could have happened in 2015, right? I always if he’s working towards that, his game’s going to be in shape at Quail Hollow. His game’s going to be in shape at Oakmont. And so it it really sets up for a big collection of major winners this year. Brian, how important is it for Sheffller? Because the one thing that I think is fair, and again, I think he’s the best golfer in the world right now. I think he’s proven it. I mean, he’s already passed speed in wins, which is just nuts, uh, when you think about it, because he’s really only been playing for like four years. Um, but how bad does he need another major outside of Augusta? Because we see guys, right, that Augusta is their playground? I mean, there’s a lot of guys that have won two, three, you know, even four majors at Augusta National. I do wonder, you know, just like with anything else. We saw this with Rory. The longer it goes where he does not win one of these other majors, it just again can add pressure. Do you think kind of like you know the idiots that we were last week saying that we think Sheffller needs to get a win just to prove he can yeah we talked him into it. So uh do you think it’s important for him or it’s just one of those deals where it’s just going to happen because he’s so good you know just let it be I I personally don’t think he’s trying to get one out of the way. Um, I think he’s just like you guys were saying, he’s he’s so good in these golf courses. Like like uh Greg said, every golf course is kind of built for Sheffler, but I I think it’s such a two horse. Maybe that third horse is hanging out in the background a little bit race right now that uh Scotty is probably not putting the same type of pressure as other people would to win another major besides the Masters because he’s already got those two Masters under the belt and he’s already feeling good about majors. And I don’t know if they compartment gold medal should be a major too. I feel once every four years. No, I’m serious. Like I think that’s like almost like two majors because you only get one shot every four years at it. Yeah. And the next time you’ll be able to do it with a partner and a different gendered partner, too, which would be pretty exciting in the in the Olympics. Yeah, that’ll be a lot of fun to watch. But yeah, I mean, Scotty, I I think he’s just he kind of takes what’s in front of him, but he’s just so damn good when it comes to hitting the golf ball. And like you guys were saying with those long irons, we haven’t really seen somebody like that since Tiger that consistently from that yardage. And Oakmont, if you’ve been seeing what they’re doing getting ready for that golf course, it is going to be an absolute brute. Not that it always is. 5 in rough. Is that really true? That is insane. Like that’s to me that’s too much if you’re going to have they said 15 on the stump, I think, from what I read. Like Yeah, just I know those are relatively flat greens, but come on. I I’m willing to bet under par doesn’t come in that US Open. I mean, I’ve been surprised before, but I mean, if you miss the fairway by five yards, you’re you’re chipping off bunkers that are every I mean, like that course is already one of the toughest venues you have. Um, and it’s a monster, too, as far as the length they’re going to be playing it at. So, I think one other thing real quickly on Scotty and Rory. I keep going back and forth on this. I absolutely think Scotty’s like non a game is way better than Rory’s. Like again, because of his ball striking, particularly with the Irons, he’s so good at scrambling as well, like you know, his wedge game around the greens. I definitely think Sheffller has the better off game. Like I think it’s more likely he wins week that he doesn’t. But for a while I was saying like you know last week was obviously a good week to be saying that that Sheffller’s agame is actually better than Rory. Then I saw like what Rory did on Sunday at Augusta and just like somebody had the great tweet of showing the percentages of hitting the three shots that he hit in a row on 15, 16, and 17 and it’s like actually I think I’ve came around to maybe Rory’s a game is slightly higher because Sheffer doesn’t ever get super hot with the like I know he had a really good week last week but what do you guys think? Do you think that one or the other has, you know, a better chance of winning when they’re off? And which one do you think has the higher like, you know, ceiling if they’re they’re playing their best week of golf? Um, well, that’s a fascinating question. What I’ve put a lot of thought into and I don’t know if there’s a a good answer. So, I have a little unique spin on it. Um, one, I think you’re more likely to see Sheffller’s agame, or should I say Sheffller plays closer to his agame more often. I I think Rory’s off game is still pretty darn good, too. Um, but that being said, the area of strength for Scotty is that iron play, and I think that’s more important than what you can do with the driver. So if you put them in a situation where they’re both at their agame, Rory’s driving it really well and giving himself really short wedges in that is enough to beat most players on the PGA Tour cuz he just has shorter clubs in. He’s going to win. But Scotty can overcome that with superb and superior long iron play. I think Rory’s a better putter overall, but Scotty’s closing the gap. I I think Scotty’s probably a slightly better short game player with help from Rory closing the gap. I still will never understand Rory going, “Hey, you should try this putter out.” It’s like, “Dude, this is your biggest competition.” You’re like, “Here, I think you’ll really like this.” 10 10 wins later, right? Don’t. Yeah. Not probably not a good move for Although maybe it is because I I do think Rory’s benefited a lot from Scotty’s uh rise. Yeah. So, you know, all in all, whose agame is better? I probably give a slight edge to Scotty, but that’s with the caveat that I think it’s more likely that we see Scotty’s agame. It’s just his game’s just more repeatable. He plays so smart, too. Like, he never takes real chances. Like, it reminds me a lot of Tiger like with a lead that just he’s just knows how to win, knows how to close. Yeah. He never seems to make a mistake and he just hits the ball so freaking straight. It’s ridiculous. half half of his wins on the PGA Tour are by three or more shots, right? He wear he wears on you and when you get in and and the other ones, you know, the one shot wins, the playoff wins, he comes back from six shots. Yeah. You know, he he wears you down because he’s relentless. And and that goes to uh what Ryan was saying about him knowing how to win, how to close, and what you were saying, Keith, about him playing smart. It’s um it’s good to see too because it really seemed like the golf overall had moved to and Tiger was responsible for this too. More of a bomb and gouge kind of as far as you can approach. Yeah. And I know Sheffller again we’re talking about a guy that you know is like fourth in strokes getting off the tea and you know probably top 25 in driving distance but he does like play what’s in front of him you know like he’s not trying to overpower courses. I mean like I love they were surprised he hit driver on one on Sunday and he cut it basically right down to the edge of the fairway like right the dead center and uh dead center of the fairway is always pretty good. So um interesting week this week they got the truest uh championship. Keith, can I mention one thing about Rory? Absolutely. Of course, Ryan. Sure. Rory has this like zone he gets into sometimes and I think when Yeah. Well, when Rory’s in that zone spinning that club and boopping down the fairway, he is a tough guy to beat. So, I think when he gets into that zone, in that Rory zone, whatever we want to call it, he just plays a little bit of different golf. And I also think it’s kind of funny that these two guys we’re talking about, struggle a lot with the flat stick. And how many more tournaments could they have probably won culminated between the two of them if they puted just a little bit better? So, it’s funny how they can be the two best guys in the world right now and we still talk a little bit about, you know, they struggle on the green sometimes, but we all do. So, I get it. Even the best Sheffler would be Tiger if he puted like Tiger like because he he truly is the only person like in my lifetime that hits the ball, you know, the way Tiger does where it’s just he’s so much better with his irons and also again around the greens like his I I think it’s really an underrated part of his game is how good he is with his wedges. And that’s why to me it’s so funny that he struggles putting is most people that I know if you have really good hands around the greens you’re usually really good on them as well. Yeah. And it’s it’s just kind of weird that he for whatever reason does not feel you know comfortable from like changing the grips and stuff but uh when you chip it to a foot makes it a lot easier to get it up and down. So, and how many more majors, how many more seconds would have been first for Rory, even just going back to last year’s US Open, if he could have made a couple more, not even that many more putts, just a couple more putts. So, we’ll see if that uh comes to fruition here in a couple weeks. So, we got again like I I love that uh obviously Qu Hollow is going to be a major um because it’s one of my favorite venues on tour. However, I do love this tournament uh because it to me it just feels like one of those events that it’s not a major, but I actually think it’s like closer to the players championship. If you just look at the guys who have won it, the leaderboards and stuff, it’s just a really good golf course. That golf course is is a majoresque golf course by without any stretch of the imagination. And that’s why it’s pretty cool though to see. I mean, I’ve seen some people that getting it a little confused. is actually the Cricut Club, which is the oldest golf course in the US, which is just insane. This place has literally been around since the 1800s. Uh, and then the Whissa, man, I think I had it earlier. What was it? Wissa. Whissa Hicken. Oh, damn it. Yep. No, I wasn’t going to get it. Um, you did. I think was built in the 20s or 30s but this is a course that we don’t have any data and you know like at least previous I should obviously correct that obviously we have data of you know players and I leaned into a lot of you know strokes gain te to green you know ball striking that stuff smaller sample size because it’s like okay I just want to know the guys that are trending in the right direction uh but Greg I really am fascinated when you have an event like this where because I mean I think we’re all now basically data nerds I think in the golf world because there’s just such an advantage from using the data and the statistics to your advantage but then every once in a while we get a venue like this that nobody’s played in a tournament so there’s like literally no data. We don’t know what is going to be the most important you know if it’s a if it’s approach if it’s off the tea we can speculate. How do you kind of put that together on a week like this or Well, um, so you mentioned I I have a, you know, this is something that we get a little experience with with major championship venues, right? You go to Quail Hollow and we have a ton of data on, but but if you go to um, you know, Oakmont, we don’t have a whole lot of data on it. What what’s what good is 2016 data? First of all, it’s one year. Second of all, it’s you know, years ago and they may have made changes. So, you know, this is a process that we go through from time to time and I find it quite fun. So, um, first and foremost, I have a couple of baseline things when it comes to players that I’m looking for every week and that’s iron play and putting, right? What have they done recently in their last four, six, 10 events with their iron play? And the guys that are hitting it really well with their irons tend to play really well. So, I I always look there. And then depending on the venue, I may pay attention to putting, I may not. I may look at short game, I may not. You know what, some other area will come up in its importance. What I find really interesting about the Whis Hickin course, um, and and I like to do this too. I look at the golf course on a map, right? Try to look at, you know, what kind of yardages are we dealing with. So on shot link you can see the map of this golf course and nearly every hole the bunkers the fairway bunkers end at about 310 yards. So if you can carry the ball 310 if the golf course gets pretty wide open um and and I think that potentially leads to a really big advantage for a Rory Mroy uh player like that. So, I I I believe that we’ll see an opportunity for players to play extremely aggressive off the tea and leave really short wedges into the greens. It’s not a long golf course. Uh now, conversely, because it’s not a long golf course, the other shorter players will be maybe hitting 3-wood, some will still hit driver, kind of fitting it in between the bunkers, hitting it into these natural pockets, and then you’re going to have short to mid irons into the greens. Um, so, uh, for those players, I’m paying a lot more attention to their approach play. I think it’s I I look at it as a positional golf course. The fairway bunkers are the penalty. The rough’s not a big deal, but it’s pretty heavily. This golf course has 118 bunkers, more than any we’ve played on tour all season. And Tillingast is known for very deep and penal bunkers. Oh, yeah. Oh, it’s uh I think I read too that this is one of those courses that depending on the pin locations, you can be in the dead center of the fairway and have a pretty bad angle to the flag to where if you’re not say on the left side of the fairway or to your point, Greg, even miss the fairway, but be on the right side to have the right angle in. Uh that is really important. And then the other thing I will push back a little bit about is it does look short, but if you really look at it, there’s only two parfs, so it’s a par 70. Yeah. And after the first five holes, which players have better get it going because the two shortest holes on the golf course are the first two par fours, you have relatively short par three, you have a par five that people can reach. And then man, if you look at it from that point on, you have like eight holes where it’s seven par4s of 420 yards or more and a 200yard par three. You get a par five and I think one other little reprieve and then the last three holes is a 215 yard par three, a 490 yard par4, and an over 500 yard par4. So, I think you’re going to see a lot of people get deep early in these rounds and then depending on how aggressive they are, I think you’re going to see a lot of people swoon at the end of the rounds. And the smart players like the Shefflers who I could just see him get to like four or five under and just kind of staying there uh the rest of the way. But I actually do think especially with the rain too because they’ve apparently got, you know, a good bit of that as well here recently. I think this course is going to play a little bit longer than they think, but to your point, I just think that makes it even a bigger advantage for the guys that carry it a long way and have obviously elite distance. And then for the guys that I do really like this week are more of like what I consider major type players. You know, Russell Henley’s, those guys that continue to pop up on these difficult golf courses because they just don’t really have a weakness and they’re extraordinary iron players. I think that if it gets into a track meet, that’s not good for them and they need it to play a little bit tougher to have a realistic chance of winning. Not saying they, you know, obviously can’t compete, but this is what we get to in these majors is just Rory, Sheffller, these guys have another gear that so many of the other players, they just don’t have. Yes, that’s very well said. Um, and I would say that rain could be very important because if it’s a bouncy golf course, the angles you mentioned become really important. The slopes on the greens and the hole locations tucked on these little tilling hash shelves like he always has. You know, those things will play a really big factor. But when the rain comes, which it looks like it’s going to. Yeah. If it gets like a Monday finish, right? I’ Yeah, you might get like a whole day Friday. It might get rained out. Um, who who knows? I I heard a report of uh Thursday thunderstorms. The weather site I use has Friday rain all day. They move tea times already for Thursday. So, I I would say that weather is definitely coming. And when that golf course gets softer now, I I think that they’re going to tear it up quite frankly. Yeah. No, I think Y like like a 450 yard par4. You hit a 3-wood, 280 yards, you got 170 into the green. That’s an eight iron. Rory’s like try my seven. I hit 280, you know. Well, Rory, he he can still fly it over all those bunkers. Oh, that’s true. Yeah. So Rory’s gonna have gonna have 105 yards in. Yep. and and the like Eric Kohl’s of the world are going to hit 3-wood off the tea or maybe even Driver and they’ll have nine iron in and they’re going to stuff it. Uh so I I think you’re going to see some pretty good scoring because the wind is low and if the firmness of the greens is is taken out because that’s like the biggest thing I’ve read, right, that makes the course defend is very firm and fast greens and we know you can’t do anything when they get wet. Ryan, you know some people that uh have played this course, right? Well, I I used to know an Well, I still know he he’s not an assistant there anymore, but he was a caddy at Deal Country Club uh for us up in uh on the Jersey Shore when I was up there many moons ago. And uh he was an assistant there. And you and Snookie. Yeah, me and Snookie. Exactly. Uh piss fist pumping uh going to the gym. Laundry. What was it? Right. GTL. Yeah. You know it better than I do. So maybe it’s an Atlanta thing, not a Jersey Shore thing. But yeah, I mean golf course very similar to like a Baltas lower. Another tilling ass gem, but a good course comp I think for what this golf course I wish I’d included that now. Thanks Ryan. Yeah, you know, you should ask me earlier. But anyway, a lot of lot of bunkers like Greg was saying that are very positional forcing you to make decisions off the tea and then just, you know, elevated green complexes, deep bunkers, all that stuff. But with that weather coming in, it’s going to benefit both, like Greg was saying, both the guys that play it smart and hit longer irons and the guys get don’t have to worry about rolling can carry it and the ball bounce a foot and they still got a wedge in it. So, it’s a uh it’s a great golf course. It could easily host a major championship. And I’m actually surprised, Keith, you didn’t pull data from the 2015 Club Professional Championship. That’s that’s where it was hosted. Different yardage, but you probably could have learned about certain holes and stuff like that. But anyway, Club Pro Championship. Wow. Did they really? Yeah. 2015. Yep. That’s cool, man. Matt Dobbins won there. Big who was a big big hitter. That was the one um where Ben Polland really had a big lead and and let it go, but Matt Dobins ended up clipping them. I remember. I feel I think Ben ended up winning what LA two years ago, something like that. He he got revenge and and one I think was it last year? It might have been last year. You’re right. You’re right, though, Ryan. Yeah, he he I think it was last year that he he avenged his uh quote unquote collapse back there at uh at Philadelphia Cricket Club. Uh that was when I first got into the golf business. Obviously, that was like one of my goals, you know? I was like, “Oh, I’m going to eventually play.” And it’s like then I played in some chapter championships and [ __ ] and I’m like, “Yeah, that’s not going to happen.” Yeah, that’s like a circuit. That’s like a need a new dream there, Keith. Yeah. Uh the uh the stats for me this week, I really looked at par4 scoring. Only two par fives. Again, I know they’re relatively, you know, a lot of them are in that like 420 to 440 range, but I just feel like that guys that played par4s well are in an advantage because obviously there’s an extra two of them uh this week. Obviously, you know, stroke gain total, I look last 16 rounds. Same thing for strokes gain approach. I really look just basically over the last four tournaments. Um, proximity 150 plus because that’s where most of the approaches are going to come from. Uh, total except for as Greg pointed out, Rory probably have lobb wedge in the most holes. But, uh, total driving is what I looked at. I went back and forth. Originally, I was going to kind of go uh, you know, strokes gained off the tea, but I ended up using total driving just as as the main metric. Scrambling and then sand saves obviously uh, with 118 bunkers. Um, and then the comp course history to me is pretty big. The courses that I used were, and I wish I would have known about baller straw. I should have called you there, Ryan. That’s on me. But I had Brookline, uh, Colonial, Riviera, which I think is a really fair comp to it in many ways. Uh, Royal Trune, and Wildlife, uh, Country Club. So, what were some of the key stats or, uh, course comps you guys used this week or were kind of looking at? I know Greg, you kind of went through some of the stats, but was there any others or courses that you kind of used? Yeah, I would have uh like Aronom and Marian in mind though, those are these are like oneoff events that you see periodically. U one where like Justin Rose pops up in both of those. Uh Wingedfoot back in the 2020 US Open, another Tilling design. Um so that was one I I paid attention to. Um and and I really more than anything was looking at bent grass putting performances. Um we don’t see a lot of bent at this time of year on the PGA tour and getting up into the into the northeast with some true bent grass greens. I I think that’s something to to really pay attention to. But I really like the colonial uh course comp. I think that style of player is definitely in my mind. Um, I I wouldn’t say so much RBC Heritage, but Colonial is probably the best one from my in my estimation uh that we see on the PGA Tour. Similar lengths. This is only like 7,100 yards. Um, but it’ll be course you can get aggressive off the tea, but it it can, you know, bite you obviously if you don’t pull off the shots. But if not, you really have to make sure you’re coming in at the right angle. And it again like sometimes it’s better to hit a 3-wood and get on the left side of the fairway, you know, to have the angle in. Um Ryan, was there any big stats you looked at this week or obviously uh strokes off the tea is a big one for this particular event? Both, you know, guys that hit it shorter and guys that hit it longer. And then strokes gained around the greens too because the elevation on the greens, all the bunkers, you know, and if the rain comes in, that’s certainly going to make it a little easier as well. And it does look like it is coming in with that low pressure system up there. But, you know, initially if it was going to be dry and firm and fast, you know, a lot of tough up and downs and a lot of places you could really shortside yourself if you’re not on the right side wherever that pin the hole location is. Yeah. You you talked about bent greens and I immediately think, man, they’re lucky that Captain America is not here because there’s nobody that can get a heater on bent greens like Patrick Reed. He also loves playing uh in the Northeast with his history. And can we ask real quickly, not to get sidetracked, why was he not invited to the potential Ryder Cup meeting with Keegan Bradley? To me, if you’re not considering, and I mean strongly considering, taking Patrick Reid for Ryder Cups, I get it. Nobody likes the guy. He’s a dick. I get all that stuff. The dude wins. And we do not have very many Americans that have a good record or the attitude and swagger that I think is needed to kind of turn around what has been just an ass rubbing for decades. That’s a good question. Um, but I think you are looking at one, they had some parameters, right? The top 20 guys on the list. He’s not top 20 on the list. the guys that were on last year’s RDER Cup team, he wasn’t. Guys were that were on the President’s Cup team before, he wasn’t. So, he didn’t fit any of the He didn’t really check any How do they get the top 20, Greg? Uh on the current RDER Cup points list, but I’m saying are the Liv guys getting points for it or no? From only from Majors. I got you. Okay. Only from Major like Brooks was last year. Yeah. Brooks was qualified, wasn’t he? No, no, he ended up falling just outside of it. That’s right. That’s right. Yeah. But again, I understand that, too. I mean, at that point, like it’s freaking kept. Uh, yeah. I’m really looking forward to this Ryder Cup. Like, really looking forward to I think the I think what’s scary though for the Americans is right when I was going, “All right, we’re loaded with all these young guys.” You look over and all of a sudden the Europeans are loaded with all these like I think of like a guy like Straa that nobody wants to talk about. It’s like that dude’s one of the best ball strikers on the planet and he just keeps getting better around the greens, which is a scary thing uh for the rest of the PGA Tour because if he’s another one of those guys that like when he putts and chips well, uh he’s going to be in it. Uh we’ll go quickly over some just some DFS and then we’ll get right into the betting so everybody can get out of here. No surprise if you know me and Ryan and more me with how much I like to talk. Uh we’re already going long. Um if you I know, right? If you have a chance, uh, please go over to fantasy6pack uh.net. You can find all of my DFS plays. There’s both a DFS cheat sheet, a betting card cheat sheet on those. I still do the article previews that I always have, but it’s really more of just a course preview, stats, and then instead of, you know, going into these long reasons of why I’m playing players, instead I have a list of them. And in the notes, it has some small stuff. But overall, I know a lot of people just want the plays. You can find those. I have them broke down each week into horses for courses, which uh this week I went with the six guys that were above average in five of the major categories. Obviously, we don’t have, you know, previous records there. I always do the best values and then plays under 7K. So, uh be sure to check that out. The big question last week was to play Sheffller or not in cash. Ryan, what was my answer? Yes, you absolutely had to play Sheffller in cash. And I actually cashed in two lineups, single entries, Ryan, that I only had five guys make the cut. So, that’s always really good, but it helps when one of your players scores 180 points. Um, yeah. The is is Rory that guy this week? Cuz Greg with what you’re saying, the way he’s been playing, and he’s actually a discount compared to what we’ve been paying for Sheffller, which is 13. Uh, I think he may be. Where are you guys standing on that for cash game? I understand obviously if you’re doing MME, you need to obviously be different. Uh, and that would be one of the first places I would look, but for Cash Game, I think he’s going to be in most my lineups. I think he has to be. I mean, he’s clearly the best player in this field. And it’s we’re going to see what he plays like now after he’s broken that, you know, angst and the grand. I know it’s not a major, but it’s still a signature event. still a big chunk of money at the top and he wants to keep this momentum going into the PGA Championship. I I I think you have to have him in any lineup you do with DFS simply because he’s going to be near the top when we finish on Sunday or maybe Monday. I think so too. Um they like I was saying I think there could be a hidden advantage here. Now if if the if the carry distance off the tea doesn’t come into fruition, right? if it’s more penal than I remember or expect or what the map shows. Uh if you miss those fairways, if he just doesn’t like it and decides to go conservative, I still think his game’s good enough to win. He’s playing unreal right now. Like unreal unreal golf through the bag. So I I think he’s pretty darn close to must play. Uh, if you wanted to differentiate, I think you could stay away from the 6K range, which I think there’s great options in, which is really another reason why Rory’s must play because there’s great choices in the 6K range. So, yeah, I would say all in yes, Rory will be in most of my lineups. Rory top 10 strokes game putting. Did not see that on my bingo card at the start of this year, but it’s no surprise knowing that he’s already won three times. Uh, I think JT is the best value on the board this week. Uh, for DFS at 10K. Like I I I said it before he won uh, you know, a few weeks ago I’d been banging the drum on him. His ball striking numbers are basically back to peak JT and now it’s just about can he get the putter going? And if he putts well for three, four days with the way he’s been hitting it, I feel like that he absolutely can hang uh with the Rories and the Shefflers of the world. Now, he has had some really bad putting performances and obviously that can happen any week, but I think I kind of like the freedom of him in a no cut event. And again, I’m saving like 2K uh from Rory down to JT. So, he’s a guy that I’m I’m really gotten a lot of lineups. The other one I just want to mention is Brian Harmon. Uh, this is the guy that I’ve had a lot of success with. I picked him to win earlier this year in Texas. I had him at the Open Championship a couple years ago. Anytime I see a course where positional shots off the tea is very important and guys are going to hit a lot of mid to long irons, that is one of the first guys I think of is Brian Harmon, especially if the course plays tougher. And then the big thing for me is he got off to an awful start putting which is very uncharacteristic for him. He’s also kind of struggled around the greens. His he’s showing signs of life in both. He put a new putter in the bag right before he won uh in Texas. And like at him at 7500, I mean he’s another guy that like just this year even though he’s been quote unquote not playing great, you know, obviously won at the Valero, third at RBC Heritage, you know, 36 at the Masters. Like I just I like this venue a lot for Harmon and again for like cash games 7600. I feel really good about him being like top 20, you know, top 10 kind of range and that’s going to free me up to where if I want to have a lineup with JT Rory for a cash game, I can do that. And then to your point, you know, play some of more of those guys either in the mid to low 7Ks or if I want to creep up to the eight, just maybe play one or two guys in the 6K range. I think that’s very fair. I have Brian Harmon on my list as well. Uh the putter switch has been huge for him. And I think he’s showing signs he’s driving it better, too. Yep. Which is great. Um I would add, you know, the guy I I really like JT, too. Um he he is having his best putting season of his entire career, which I think is a great sign, but I’m really looking at Patrick Kentlay in the 9K range. Uh and feels like a Can course, doesn’t it? It it does, you know, and part of the reason is he’s been absolutely striping the ball. You know, he’s he’s gained over five and a half strokes ball striking in his last four events. It’s ridiculous. Uh which is off the tea and approach play combined. It’s been ridiculous. His putting has been way off this year. But he’s going to bent grass greens. It’s by far his best putting surface is bent. So I I’m I’ve been beating the drum like you were with JT. I’ve been beating the Patrick Canled drum for a couple weeks and I can’t miss out on That’s a great point about the event. Like I think that is a great point because as somebody who obviously I’m not comparing myself to a PJ tour player, but having played in Atlanta growing up on bent greens and then moving to St. Simons to work in the golf business, I never have truly figured out Bermuda greens. Like I can putt on them. I understand, you know, how to read the grain and everything else. the, you know, the color, the different shades of color and, you know, all that stuff. But you get me on bent greens, it’s like the ball’s going to do what it looks like it’s going to do. And those are the ones where I feel like I can just make it. And I forget Canley is one of those guys, again, Patrick Reed’s another one that just like you get them on bent greens. Uh, they really can roll the rock. And I mean, you just made a great case that like if he’s hitting it this well, he may not even have to putt great uh to like have a real chance to win. He’s just got to putt better, which is kind of what, you know, JT did. And then it’s, you know, now starting to really get going because I mean, again, Justin right now, ninth in strokes, Ta Green, seventh in strokes gain approach. Uh, he’s first on approaches from 125 to 150, and he’s top 25 and birdie or better percentage on par threes, par fours, and parfs. So, not bad. I really do like uh JT this week. Ryan, you got any guys you’re you’re circling for DFS? And then we’ll kind of get into the betting card. I I went I went the chef BFS side of things or excuse Sheffler I’m living in last week. I was like, man, how did you get to use him? Cuz I want to take him. Oh, no, no, no. I went when I saw Rory was only 12K. That’s who I was anchoring my lineup with because I love the strategy though with JT and Canlay. And then uh I I really like Brian Harmon too. I have him in my lineup. I have him on some betting card stuff too because you’re getting some great value from Hard Rock. And then I also got Stfan Joerger. I’ve been kind of listening to you talk about him the last three or four weeks. So, wanted to get him in there as well. Denny McCarthy, another one in there in that range that I think is really good. And then I was trying to figure out right around that 8K range. Uh, and I was going to Keegan I like Keegan a lot. I was looking at Robert McIntyre, too. I like Robert, too. Uh, he’s another one of those guys, though, that like some of his approach numbers are pretty scary at times from like his mid to long irons and like I just Keegan North messy. He loves I’m just saying, dude, Keegan has a great track record in the Northeast. P Keith, I know you’re from the South. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Two completely different places in the Northeast. Would you not consider the Pennsylvania Northeast? Because they had like a Pennsylvania Northeast versus New England Northeast. Completely different neck of the wood. Let me tell you something. Keegan did win. That’s right. He did. He did. Ryan in your face. Uh that is literally one of the uh things on uh bet golf is they have the uh it’s literally a northeastern which I don’t know where they draw the line or whatever but I saw today that Keegan I think was fifth in the field and strokes northeast. It’s just the uh the Boston folk are a whole different uh different up there. That’s for sure. Uh any uh am I the only one that is still kind of liking Gary Woodland? Because he’s the him and Nick Taylor are the two guys under 6,500 that like I feel pretty good putting in lineups. Uh Woodland is hitting it a mile. I think he’s like third or fourth in driving distance this year. So maybe that would be an opportunity for him, Greg, to do sort of what some of Rory is doing. Potentially cut some corners. Uh, Taylor’s such a good iron player that, you know, I always kind of like him when he’s in that cheap range like he is this week. I had a hard time with this area. Um, I I really don’t like it in general. I think Gary Woodland would be a fine play if he had to get down there. Um, I I think uh, you know, Alex Norin is back playing again. I That was a guy that I wanted to ask you guys about was cuz what did he have? Was it like surgery or I don’t know what was going on with him. I just saw his name and I was a little puzzled. Um, you could go to the other guy at 6200, Eric Vonroyan, who played great golf last week. Dude, how impressive was his round Sunday? Also, how demoralizing that you shoot freaking eight under and you were no better off the gain nothing. That was tough. So, I, you know, I might go with the hot hand if I’m down, if I’m below 6,500. Um, but I have no problem with Woodland. Uh, and Taylor just again 21st in driving accuracy. So, he’ll be able to put the ball where he needs to. 20th stroke gained approach. Obviously, that’s good. What I really like though, 10th from that 150 to 175, which that’s kind of the range that a majority of the iron shots are going to come on these par fours. 12th in bogey avoidance. And then again, I really am leaning into par fours. He’s 10th this season on tour and par4 scoring. So, I I like that as well. Um, let’s get to what people really want to do. Uh, let’s try to win some money. The uh Greg, who is like the first guy you you immediately when you started capping this go, “Yeah, I’m gonna be betting this guy to win.” Um, well, Rory Mroy. Um, I’m not afraid of the shorter number. So, I just when when I have a sense like a Rory or a Scotty has a huge advantage, I’ll just limit the outrights. Yeah. Right. Go with them and limit. So, I just have two outrights that I like. It’s It’s Rory at 4 to1. Can’t lay at 20. Um, and I just can’t miss out on that opportunity. You were talking like I’m I’m going to have to really uh first of all, he’s going to immediately go into some DraftKings lineups, but I’m also thinking about cuz I that I really the Bent thing is a great point. And I knew he was hitting it well. I didn’t know he was gaining that many strokes. I mean, that is Yeah, it’s probably as good as anybody right now. Probably not named Sheffller. It’s It’s pretty sick stuff. So, those are my two outrightes. Uh Ryan, who who was your first outright or guy that you’re just like, “Give me some of that.” I I really I mean, and remember, I live in the hard rock world, so sometimes our uh ours are just We’re not going to hold it to you if it’s different. I know. I know. At least we can bet legally here in the state of Florida. Hey, how dare you? I’ve got two obviously besides Rory, if you’re willing to take the four to one action. I like Ludvig in this one. I think this golf I always like him every week, but I just think this golf course sets up super well for him. his golf style. He hits the ball on a frozen rope and hits it a mile and he’s got a real good short game or short iron game. Uh and then of course my boy Sept Straa as well, the Austrian at 40 to1 in Hard Rock. I love that value for an opportunity for him uh to get a big victory. I know he’s already won earlier this year, but never a signature event or a major. So I could see him uh winning this week in Philadelphia. Yeah, I I love that. Stra is on my betting card 40 to1. Um, I I wanted to bet Corey Connors. I actually suggested him in my article, but I just to be honest, like he’s getting into that Cam Young territory for me where it’s just like, dude, I need you to win if your odds are going to keep going down and I’m going to keep betting you to win. Uh, but Russell Bustle again, 30 to1. I think that again, Henley, Harmon, Straka, these dogs, and it’s not just because I’m a UG fan, but they’re all great major players, tough venues. Again, my only concern about most of my betting card is if it turns into a track meet, which it very easily could, JT is the only guy that I feel like I have that really has the gas to keep up with that. Uh because again I’ve got Henley Straa, I like Keegan at 55 to1, Brian Harmon who I talked about at 70 to1, but I feel like this week the real value is in the prop bets of the top five and top 10s. Like I think with a you know obviously a no cut 72 player field and like I mean I’m getting Harmon and a Biate at 10 to one uh to top five. Like I like those odds on both of those. And then even more sick to me is like you can get Russell 5 to one, Lowry 6 to1, Straas plus 650. Like this is the kind of week in a small field. I I I try to do a little bit more top five, top 10 wagers, especially on the players that I really like. And I actually up my unit value where I I again I don’t have but five guys, six guys to win this week. I usually have around eight and but I will change obviously the the units that I used to it. This week most of you know outside of just a normal bet for me the higher bets are top five, top 10 plays. I have a lot of uh finishing positions as well. Uh I I backed up Kantlay with a top 10. Uh what is his odds at? Plus 200 for a top 10. No, I do like that. But I went into the top 20 space. So Brian Harmon plus 190 top 20. Justin Rose plus 200 top 20. Tom Hogy plus 280 top 20. Eric Cole plus 280 top 20. Uh, I really liked all of those and I think there’s a very legitimate chance that all five of those hit, which is pretty cool because I like the idea of a perfect, you know, I like the idea of a perfect uh grid, if you will. Yeah. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it feels like you threaded the needle. Uh, which is always amazing. Yeah, I’m a I’m a fan of a little uh stafer uh outcome and I think these guys are going to play really well and if they get inside the top 10 or the top five, I’m happy with the with the plus 200 or plus 280, something like that. I got one more one more play on my on my card and I’m mentioning it because uh Ryan mentioned Ludvig. I found Ludvig over Morawa in a matchup at plus 130. Wow. Now, Ludvig hasn’t been playing great. Um, but the distance is going to be a big deal, right? Well, I got him over Well, he’s he he hasn’t played since the RBC Heritage. I know how good he is. Like all the things Ryan said, those things are all true. I I think he comes out and plays a whole lot better. He’s just got to beat Colin Morawa, who has a bulky putter. He’s at plus 130. It just doesn’t seem right. So, I jumped all over that one. I worry about Morawi, too. That that loss to Henley. That’s the kind of thing that I I think we downplay that in golf. And I hate that. Like, it’s not I’m not trashing him by saying this, but I’m saying this from experience of playing golf and nowhere near the level he is, but that stuff will hang with you. Like, when he was the guy just a few years ago, he, you know, like a lot of these guys, had a pretty far fall. everything was getting back to where it looked like, oh, it’s just a matter of time. And then he got [ __ ] punched in the mouth by Russell Henley, who I love Henley, but that’s not exactly the kind of guy you expect to come chasing you down uh on Sunday. That that hits hard. It that hurts. And he puts a lot of pressure on himself to win. So, we’ll see. You know, it can go one of two ways. And it wouldn’t surprise me if Morawa won this tournament. I mean, he’s so good. Again, the ball striking metrics are absurd. He’s second in driving accuracy, third on approach, 14th off the T, third T to green, eighth bogey avoidance. This is what I love. He’s first in par three, 26 par five, 30th par4. He’s one of those small groups that’s, you know, top 30 just across the board, whatever hole he’s playing. Uh, and he’s another guy, like I keep bringing this up, but if these guys just have like a decent putting week with how bad they putt, you know, a good week from those guys, it can be, you know, where they’re the ones running away, you know, like Sheffler did last week, especially in a small field event. So, yeah, I think I think you’re right on the money, but again, um I just think there’s a chance that that doesn’t happen, right? Big clips him. So, we’ll we’ll see how it goes. But it’s a it’s a night I I feel pretty good about this card right now. I feel good about it. I uh Brian, you got any other guys you want to mention? Oh, your mic did the thing, bro. See, you started messing with it. Yep. That’s what I get. All right. It’s part of the show, Greg. There you go. Part of the part of the part of the stick. But yeah, uh Hard Rock gives me Ober versus Shalay. both minus 110. So, I don’t really care for that one. However, since you’ve been talking about Kantlay so much, I can get him over Justin Thomas for plus 110. And I’m probably going to take that one because I like the the over one to one odds in that one. And then in addition to betting him to win, Sept Straa at six to one for a top five seems like great value. Minw Lee is nine to one with the top five. He’s been having a good year and I think this style golf course plays well into his hands. And then I got two more top 10 props. Brian Harmon, I think he top 10s for sure. He’s plus 450 on Hard Rock. And then Ash Biate Biatia uh is plus 47. No, it’s Bate. You know that. I tricked you into saying it. It’s Patia. No, I know. I can’t pronounce anybody’s name, so I’ve been saying it wrong for forever. Uh and we just figured it. But yeah, he’s he’s plus 475 for a top 10. So I think uh you know, he’s he’s he can play. He can and he’s gonna he’s gonna win something at some point other than that Bermuda Championship. Another guy that is putting so much better than I expected this season because he’s actually kind of for his standards not hit the ball as great as we know he’s capable of. But if he keeps that putter rolling the way he is when he has that good iron week, look out. Uh I do want to mention Keith Mitchell real quick too. He’s four to one to top 10. He is another one. Again, there’s only six guys in the field that are above average and scrambling strokes gain off the tea, strokes gain approach. Uh there was Anyway, there’s five categories. It’s in my article. I know that. Uh but he is literally one of the six guys. The other guys in that group were like JT, Rory, etc. Uh and Mitchell was another guy just freaking bomb it uh off the tea. So, I think the more wet it plays, uh, again, that could be an advantage for him as well. I love the play. He’s been striping it. He’s just got to put four rounds together. Man, sounds like Rory a year ago, right? That’s what we were always saying is Rory just needs to put uh four rounds together. We’ll be golden. So, I know we’ve kept you so long, Greg. We’ll real quickly do this. the worst golfing habits, which this has been a lot of fun for us. Just some of the ones that uh we’ve had in like recent weeks. Ryan, what did we have? We had the much Oh, man. We have So, the handicap one obviously came up of you have the sandbagger and then also I think it’s just equally as disgusting when the people have the prideful. Yeah. The ego handicap, right? Where y the vanity there are four and you’re going, “Bro, you couldn’t break 80 if your life dependent on like what are we doing here?” Uh, we talked about like golf cart etiquette, which is a huge deal for me. My dad’s real bad about like clicking cart in your back swing and throwing clubs in as you go or people to you. You know what I’m saying? As you’re getting ready to hit like the cart girl and stuff and I just feel like there’s etiquette for those kind of things people. Um, but I’m excited because you said you had one, Greg. Why don’t you go ahead and lead us off? Uh uh on the tea box, especially there’s a time for talking, and that time is when you’re walking. All right? So, don’t be don’t start telling a story before the first guy te’s off. Let’s play. We’ll talk in between. Okay? And so, pace of play is the biggest pet peeve that I think most people have in the game. And nothing slows it down like a mistimed story. Y I want let’s be here to play golf first and we’ll have fun talking to one another second. There’s so much dead time. That’s what drives my dad’s the worst about this. Like you’ll look and he’s like and I’m going really now you’re going to tell a five minute story when we’re about to wait in the fairway for probably at least three minutes to hit our next shot. So uh the uh where do you stand on what they’ve done so far to speed up pace play? Cuz to me, they need to look what baseball did and they need to do a clock. Like you can have, you know, timeouts, whatever. Like I’m okay with, but there needs to be a clock. No exceptions. And once it’s your turn, you have, you know, whatever they decide and it just it would at least move it along. And I think it would get everybody used to playing quicker. I I I like the rangefinder and stuff they done, but where are you kind of on the the pace of play stuff? I I have no issue with a rangefinder, but it’s not going to do anything for uh pace of play. Um, and I have been on the shot clock like you for a long time. And the reason is the only way you can speed up play is if you get people off the greens quickly. The greens are the clog. And so if you’re going to have someone with a rangefinder, they’re they’re walking it off while there’s a group putting on the greens anyway. Uh, if you can if you have a a loted amount of time on the greens, now all of a sudden that clears that that clears up. Now, you could talk me into the rangefinder working. If there’s nobody in front of you, the rangefinder will speed up. Yeah. But with the flow of a golf course, um you you need to clear the greens. I will say, um playing in tsums is a great solution as often as you can. I agree. You know, they are limiting fields, which I’m not a fan of. Should be playing tusomes for sure. Yes. And they they’re playing quick. Yeah, the the biggest problem with pace of play, and you saw this at Tory Pines and the very I think it was the very next week. If it wasn’t, it was soon after Pebble Beach. Um Tory Pines, the Greens are so fast and pace of play just goes through the roof. Y when when they were at Pebble and it rained, the Greens were like a foot and a half slower. All of a sudden, they mo they play in four hours. So, you know, there’s a balance. We want to see fast greens, but it’s going to take longer. So, there there are challenges with it, but I think all in all from from the beginning of the year after Tory Pines, it’s been a lot better. It has. I just I I don’t want them to make the same mistake baseball did. I feel like baseball waited 5 10 years too long and they may never get those fans, you know, back or the fans that they would have, you know, gained because it’s mostly younger people that I’m not going to lie, like my attention span’s [ __ ] half the time. So, uh, you know, it’s just it’s tough. And I just feel like that we saw it with the TGL. That’s obviously an extreme, but it was fine. Those guys were fine. They were hitting a lot of good shots. They were making putts, even, you know, quote unquote probably being rushed to what they’re used to. And again, I’m not saying it has to be like a minute or 30 seconds, but it just needs to be a time to where people are constantly on the clock. And it’s like you you just basically it’s a simple thing. You get one warning and then you get a penalty shot. That’s it. solve it in an instant. Uh Brian talks about all the time to you punish, they’re not going to they’re not going to get any quicker. Like a kid, you hold them accountable for not behaving correctly, they’re going to keep doing it because they know they can get away with it. Yep. Or even some adults. Yeah. A lot of adults. So, I’m going to go ahead and tell you I like that so much. And because we’ve already gone on an hour and I don’t want to take up too much of your time, Greg, we’re going to go ahead and add that to the list. Are you good with that, Ryan? Yeah, because I I’ve I was kind of picking my brain and I was only coming up with things that I didn’t like operationally uh from cart guys and stuff like that. I figured you were gonna talk again about how you got to play the new Davis Love Course uh down in you know right Panama City right down the right down the road the third course at the Water Sound Club. First time he’d been like near Davis Love and I lived in St. Simons for six years so he’s he’s always everywhere around there. And I told Ryan, I said the first thing was I was like, “God dang, that dude’s huge. Such a big dude, man. But hey, height height matters in your with your golf swing.” That’s right. It sure it sure can. Uh Greg, I can’t thank you enough for doing this. Uh the floor is yours, man. Please plug the amazing stuff. people need to go subscribe to the Second Cut podcast because again I know you have got to build back up your audience at least from subscribers and stuff which I know it’s a pain in the butt but I think that just the little bit I’ve got to know you and just the quality of the show y’all enjoy the grind and have your numbers right back up in no time.

From from 9 to 10 on Sirius XM as well. So plenty plenty of me on the radio. Well, I got two radio stars, man. I love it. All right, Ryan, you got anything you want to plug? I mean, I was once on uh Trey Jones’s SiriusXM show. Oh, I love I love Trey Jones. Yeah. good friend of mine, FSU director of golf, head golf coach for the men, good friends with Amy, too. And then Tony Rogerio, uh I’ve been on his his podcast. I don’t know if he’s still doing it or not, but uh I think he is like the tour uh two sweepers. Yeah. Yeah, he’s great. Yeah, he’s great, too.

Uh I’ll be on the show tomorrow. We will u I hope continue the Rory and Sheffller because I could talk about that for the end of time. Uh I just love it. Um and then again, I’d really appreciate if you take the time to just go to fantasy6pack.net. uh Joe Bond who was at head of fancy six-pack like really has pushed me to change uh my content and I really appreciate him for doing that because I’ve got a lot of positive feedback on the cheat sheets and how easy there are to read. There’s still the preview article. My first ever model is live this week, which is really scary. Don’t ask me how the freaking math worked because I’m a dumb hick. I don’t know, but luckily Joe Bond does. Uh I basically gave him the percentages for different stats that we’re using to come up with that. But I have no idea. He was like just trying to explain to me like which way do you like it, this way or this way? And I’m like, yo, it sounds like you’re speaking an alien language. Just, you know, just tell me what I need to do and we’ll we’ll make it happen. But it was a good sign when Rory was first in my model. I’m like, okay. So, it’s it’s at least somewhere on the right track right off the bat. But, uh, be sure to check out all that content. And then I am very pumped that, uh, back doing fantasy football. So, Thursday nights on Fantasy and Frames, the draft show is back where we do best baseball drafts, dynasty drafts, like uh and we do them live and we obviously go into discussion of, you know, strategies, what players we like, etc. It’s a good way to get used to seeing when people will be drafted, etc. And then on Fridays, I go on Optimus Fantasy, uh, with Tank Pulvig and Nate Markham, and that is basically a Q&A every Friday. We’ll be doing that through the rest of the off season. And then also during the season when obviously the DFS football content will start back up uh both on fantasy six-pack and fantasy and frames which is where I really love to nerd out with numbers. So um again Greg this has been a blast. Uh thanks for just being so cool. Like I’m serious like the fact that you called me uh just to get to know me was like one of the nicest things anybody’s done in a while. And it really did. I was like, man, it’s good to know there’s so many good people still out there. And almost everybody uh I’ve met in the golf space so far has been so incredibly kind and generous with their time and everything. And I just want to again uh say that you were obviously a shining example of that. And I told my wife, you kind of blew me away with kindness. And that’s normally my move. So way to go, Greg. Way to still move, man. Well, hey, this is the the golf community is an incredible place. and there’s so many wonderful people and you know we share and promote each other shows. We do similar things. We’re not looking at each other as competitors. You know, we’re sharing information um you know for free and that’s the way that golf is. So, it’s wonderful to be a part of that and wonderful to pay it forward and thank you both for having me on and allowing me to share my thoughts. Absolutely. We’ll have to do it again. But, uh, for Keith and Ryan, and again, look, if you’re still listening right now, A, we appreciate you. B, there’s a link in the description right below. Second cut podcast. Just click on it. You hit subscribe, you’re done. Let’s get at least 10 of those uh by, you know, the times Thursday. I mean, you know, we’re not asking for a big number. We’re just asking, hey, let’s let the fancy Six-Pack listeners contribute to help rebuilding uh what is a great podcast. Well, thank you very much. It’s uh hopefully that comes through and even just one will help tremendously. If it doesn’t, I will be cussing people out next week. Greg, start the show. So, you just let me know. But uh this has been a lot of fun. I hope everybody’s DFS lineups are very successful. Hopefully, we have a winner or two and we’ll see you guys soon.
