(upbeat music) - Hello and welcome back to another week of the DP World Tour picks and bets. Skylar Hope joined as always with my man, Tom Jacobs. Tom, how are we doing today? - Good, yeah, really well. Thank you, Skye, and I hope you are too. I feel like we had chances last week and we're just kind of lit down, right? And peer regard, certainly finding his game again, right? He's in a great spot, just looks a little bit fragile over the weekend, I think the kind of culmination of when you've had a couple of weeks of playing well, maybe the expectation has changed slightly, but a bit much pressure on yourself. And that's certainly showed. And Manacere just started too slow and as we've kind of been talking about off air before we come on, like just still missing those parts that are is Achilles Hill, right? So wasn't able to kind of take advantage of a never really good iron week. So other than that, like pretty happy with the process after a couple of weeks off again, and happy to move on and try and find another winner here in that, Cranzer, Sierra. - Yeah, 100%. And I think it was a week of what ifs too, you know, personally I was never getting a Norgaard molar at the Balfree, you know, just did not seem to fit the prototypical type of game he has, but Thriston Lawrence made every sense in the world and gave it a good run. Somebody who were on this week that I'm very interested in played well last week Andrew Wilson makes some sense there and played awesome and then Manacere all for us like exactly right, I think he continues, now probably reprised to the better spot in the market this week, to what he needs to be, to make me not as comfortable with the click, but yeah, overall a good week. And then I think the other one too, is Jesper Svensson just continues to elevate himself into basically a PGA Tour player, right? It's gonna be a PGA Tour player at this point seems, if he continues the year this way. So I think it's good just to get back in the swing, a better event even this week with the Omega European Masters. Giraffe Kings does have a recording on Tuesday now, it's two contests up for the week with 20 K to first in both of those. So about, you know, five to 10 times bigger than what we typically get on the DP World Tour as we're in the limelight for this week. And then also for Wentworth in a couple of weeks will be the only show in town for that week, there's no PGA golf in between that one. So excited for that one also, hopefully to get some larger prize pools on Giraffe Kings. So because of that, we're gonna go with a format of running through salary ranges, and then giving our picks there, just to get people a little bit more context to the slate upcoming here. So I guess we can kick off first by Kran Sousier, best views on the DP World Tour, amazing mountains in the Swiss Alps, any thoughts on the course fit overall, Tom, and kind of what you're thinking. - Yeah, just quickly before I dive inside, just a couple of things that you sort of picked up on there. Like the SNOL guard was the course player in the center, like he'd finished seventh there last year. You don't necessarily know that's like an overachievement based on that's not really the kind of skill set you'd go for. As you said, wasn't necessarily playing in the best golf. So a really hard pick on that. Thriston Lawrence and Jesper Spencer, both consumers play really good golf, as you mentioned, both of them now, second or third, respectively, in the rankings. But one question I had a few times when we moved on, Nicholas Norgaard hasn't got the P.J. Tour ranking next to him on the race of the ball. And I don't know why, I still can't figure out why. So you've got Thriston Lawrence, Jesper Spencer, Sebastian Sotheberg, Ricoya, Shino, Lane Gas, Grasmus Willy Garvin, I'd say I'm going to say, Frederick McCroy and Laurie Cancer. But it skips Norgaard, who's in sixth. And he's not already got a DPGs all gone, right? So I don't know why he's not got that next to him. I don't know, they've changed a crazy area slightly this year and you have to have played a certain event or whatever, or the swing, but I don't know. - I think they're just missing it, 'cause I count it and I only count nine. - So they've just not put the loan in next week? - And it could be with like the name difference or something sometimes. But yeah, he's got to be the third one on that list for now. - Yeah, you've done the small thing, you just count them up. So in that case then, Cancer is kind of hanging on to that 10th spot ahead of Guida McConcy ahead of Tom Cuban, who everyone's been talking about a lot this season. How does it work? I'm guessing it's just not eligible. 'Cause Joaquin Neiman's 19th, he's just not allowed to have it. I would assume that, but then you look at Laura Cantor, right? I mean, not that he's a full-time live player, but he's definitely teed it up on live this year, right? Or last year. So interesting. I don't think they would let Neiman have it, no. - No, because like, I guess some of these players are playing the hats and played last week, I think probably going to play Wentworth or Rahm maybe as well. So just not a little sort of layer there, but I think before we go into the event, like I know it was just worth mentioning those players that are on track to be a PJ to remember, like Manasero's going from out towards, challenge towards, debut towards, PJ to potentially in this place for a few years. So it's been a real remarkable comeback. Still think people are sleeping slightly on what Manasero's coming back to doing. - Yeah, I mean, I like the crew. It's a little bit more eclectic than, you know, most years at least at this point that we see, I mean, and a lot of movement can still happen. I mean, but I guess with the transition, there's a lot of almost every single one of these guys is playing this week. And we can talk to them a little bit more in this range 'cause the first range gets top of the odds board, clearly Matt Fitzpatrick, two time winner here, a couple other top fives, 10,900 in draft Kings, followed in by Rasmus, Matt Wallace and Byrne Weesberger are the 10K and above guys. I guess first off the bat, to me, I assume this would be a week, especially 'cause there's a separation in the markets that Fitz would be an overwhelming, great click best plan on the board 'cause that's just what I'm so used to in PGA DFS right now. But I think with the pricing and even the uncomfortability a little bit more in the six Ks, I'm okay with being lower on average to Fitz, at least right now, and pretty intrigued at Rasmus at a $500 discount of anybody in this range. Do you have a favorite? Yeah, so very simply, I'm taking on Matt Fitzpatrick with Rasmus Oigard, now Fitz has got two wins, a second, a third, and a seventh here in, and that's against one Miss Carter, the 69th. Rasmus Oigard won here on debut and has hadn't missed two cuts since. Now, obviously a little bit more volatile, Rasmus, but I think both of them go back to that course that you mentioned before, I sort of cut you off there. Both of them kind of play into exactly one of the cransos here, or I can get really hot with their irons, can get streaked with the butter. The older version of Fitz that was winning here didn't rely on a long driver, Rasmus doesn't either. You can certainly get it out of there, both of them can now, but just the trademark thing is to get really hot with your irons here at cransos here, and I just don't think there's that much of a difference in between them at the moment. Now, had this have been six to eight months ago, people would still be wondering whether Fitz is just going through a bad patch or whatever. I think it's fundamentally Fitz, who just not had a very good season. I think I'm okay and comfortable saying that, right? Like, he's just been underwhelming this year, whereas we thought when he kind of found the extra layer of his game with the driver that he would kick on, I mean, he's been fifth in the players, fifth in the memorial, tenth in the Valero, like, are we holding him to a really high standard? Yes, but that's what we come to expect, right? You look at his kind of finishes really this season. A lot of it's been putter driven, he didn't hit the irons pretty well at the players, but other than that, his irons have been pretty poor. The driver's been okay, apart from the last few weeks. So, I just don't think he's the player that he was when he was first winning here. Not in terms of profile and ability and things like that, but just like he's changed his game slightly and just seems to have lost his irons in recent weeks, whereas Rosemus is pretty well. And I know this is a full 360 to what I said last week, where I felt like he couldn't get through four rounds, but it really showed me that he actually played a different way this last past week, where he started slowly and kind of grew in the event and played really well on the final day. And you could argue, look, he's kind of really fast on Sunday and not much else, but I think the way he grew into that event, a little bit like Manasero is better than what he'd done in the past, where he'd been first and second after round one and fell away. So, feel very confident about Rosemus all he got over a Memphis battery this week. Yeah, I mean, I saw it with you. Maybe the field ended up being a little bit scared of Fitzy, which then could be an opportunity, right? I think ownership projections in the European DFS side of things is kind of the Wild Wild West at times. So as much as we can get a pulse on that, we'll try. But we saw a similar price situation with honestly probably more interest from the majority last week with Tyrell Hatton in the exact same spot, thought he was going to run away with the event after 36 holes, the way he was hitting the ball and to fall off like he did, I mean, it's still big expectations when you are priced at this number. And probably with a worse season, Fitzpatrick has priced in the exact same spot, you know? And I think it could just, you know, to that point, I think it's a really good comparison because I think Fitz could just do exactly what Hatton did last week, like gets off to a, you know, a hot star, you know, he's a two-time winner here, three-time or four times inside the top three and just better than everybody in the field, generally speaking. But I do think that the Saturday and Sunday we'll catch up with him, you know, don't forget that he played well here last year and then got beat by Abraham Alexander Bure, right? So I don't think he's unbeatable by any means, and the price suggests you have to feel close to that, especially when you've got talented players like Matt Wallace, Bernfies Burger, through Sonoran's Eric Van Roy, Nicola Hoigard, waiting in the wings. I imagine through Sonoran's going to be a pretty popular play. - Right, so we just go into the next, like I would say Wallace is also intriguing to me up there versus kind of the others, despite the way he hits the ball and the way he gets run, he just does it and finds a way. I mean, he lost in the playoff, two-thrist in Lawrence two years ago at this event, which was kind of a big pillow fight at that point that year. But yeah, first in Lawrence is 9,800, and you go all the way down to Guido in the nine-kays where it's filled with the other Hoigard EVR, Soderberg, Manisaro, and Cantor in the nine-kays. Yes, I think off the top, Thristin, probably deservingly so will be the most owned player on the slate, if I had to guess. Playing awesome, Open Championship was great, one on the Sunshine Tour, one here before, like there's not much you can pick apart on Thristin, and you get him now just below 10k, so I think it's just more intriguing to the eyes at that point too. So do you like him the most of the guys in this range, or are you willing to take more of a shot on Nikolai or EVR? Can't or anybody in this range that you would be of the likes too? - I think I would take EVR. I've been really high in front of the P.J. Tour season. He's played really well. He's obviously got that win at the end of the last year, then consented a couple of times again this year. Has faded off slightly, but when you look at what he's done here in three starts he's been 35th, 12th, and then the best finish at the eighth last year. He's been in the mix multiple times here, like inside the top 10, going into the weekends and things like that. So I think just from a standpoint of, how do we translate P.J. Tour form into D.B. by Tour starts? I think he already impressed. He did really well to me. I just got showed him before fading away as well. I'm just similar to that. So I think there's a real eye upside on him. I guess the really intriguing one, everyone knows what they're gonna get out on Lawrence. They're gonna get out, I think they're going to get out on Lawrence and Manaceiro. Nikolai's gonna get his plays because people know him. I think the real question, one is whether Burnt-Veezburger people get a little bit shocked by the 10K and don't play him. And I think that's an interesting one, because I think I would play him. And the other one is, what do we do with Sebastian Sullibur? - So that was the one that I waited to go through line by line on the race to divide, because as of now he has a P.J. Tour card. You know, like which is insane, because we have not seen him since blowing the lead on Sunday at the Scandinavian. I guess we saw him once and he withdrew halfway through the first round. Last time he's played, he has withdrawn pre-term in a couple of other times. I don't know if there's an official injury sighting or if it is, you know, strokes gain mental type of thing where, I mean, he had to be beside himself, you know? And Lindgren obviously took that trophy with like disgust because it felt like such an awkward situation. Do we think enough time has passed that we feel confident? I don't even know if you can think he's gonna play for rounds. - Well, I think the telling thing is, and this is no good to you from a drafting standpoint, unless you're willing to just state the shot. If the guy is playing exactly the way, actually better than what Alexander Bjork was playing last year, and he came into this perfect course for him finished second. And for all intents, I suppose that a really good chance to win out of the sort of moving a-berg. Sort of the only event that he's won on the VPL Tour, I believe, you beat Warren Macquarie and that playoff at this golf course. So he's ever gonna kind of heal. You would think it's gonna be at this golf course. There is something about the way he was playing all season. It's just he'd taken another level and taken a step up in his game. The irons were unbelievable. It's just about that he has entered those couple of tournaments and pulled out. And if I knew, if I had any intel that he was gonna play four rounds and he'd kind of put it behind him and it'd been a long time, I would say the chance. But he's so risky. I'd rather bet him, I think, and just take a shot and just hope for the best. 'Cause all bets him in play, but he gets really close around. - So back ribs is what it's listed as an injury. Now, in fairness, looking through finding a random tweet on the internet here from @DanTheGolfers79 in Mayorka this week for the Srickson sales conference. This evening got to watch Sebastian Soderbergh stripe a few. And then tomorrow we get to see next year's toys. So meaning for he's a Srickson sponsor or golfer. So health, I don't know. Like, I mean, I can watch a video of Soderbergh teeing it up here and looked like a striped show like he normally does. If I'm going like three levels too deep on this, 'cause I've been playing BJDFS for a while and kind of a feel of it, I'm not sure the normal person who's playing this tournament is aware of what Soderbergh is going through right now. So then my fear is you just look at a box score and it seems like the perfect play at a great price at the last history, why wouldn't you play him? So if that's the case, I would rather be off. I'd rather take him to the shot like we did at the PGA Championship or the US Open, which everyone he had that hole in one in and played so well at, you know, when no one knows him and is on him, versus maybe casuals playing for the first time and seeing somebody who's had the season he has. - Yeah, like the appeal in this situation normally as we've sort of knew, 'cause I think there is, you're taking a shot and you're going to be in the low ownership is the only sort of, as you say, if people are just new to this week and they're just looking for a golfer, they've got a golfer that's one on the golf course and he's got what, four top three finishes in the last five starts. They could easily just go, "Well, you know, "there's not been many DP World Tour events. "That's just given the passes right up there "and the race of the boys and have a PJ Torkot." So I think you're right. I think the answer is don't play him, but it's certainly the most intriguing question, 'cause I think everyone else in this range is kind of a much, very much next. I think Lawrence is obviously the former horse, but the others are also as talented. I don't really know what to do. He's Laurie Kanter. I've kind of given up trying to predict that, but. - Yeah, yeah. So I just think that that's an interesting angle to like think through that. But if I zoomed out, I mean, I think my favorite two plays, I'm not gonna get off the Italian Stallion drain of not playing Mayasaro in Guido. Last year, Guido, not in the similar form to what he was, shot a 62, I think on Saturday and then a 63 on Sunday, mixed it in with like 74s to finish, you know, not the best. But I will pass, I mean, Guido, I mean, he's probably like a golfer who's a little bit, you know, mental of how he's playing and he is. I mean, he was inside the top 10 going into 18 on Thursday, quadruple bogeyed Thursday, the final hole, pretty much would have had a battle to make the cut, you know, and get through and just didn't have it with the irons, but majority of those strokes were lost on one hole, hit it great off the tee, just didn't putt well. I am totally fine to rinse and repeat with Guido. The problem is Tom, and maybe I'm taking too much credit, but at this point, we have built such a persona with Guido up that he often becomes the most popular golfer because it's a chance to click in with bigger money on the line. So Guido is not going to sneak by despite a missed cut. - Yeah, and I think the one thing that's the concern, right, is that like Guido's not going to sneak by because he's a popular name, there was a certain affinity to him. So you're not getting that ownership of like discount of, oh, he's coming up a missed cut, let's take a shot. The same applies to Sotheburg. So we're almost not winning here in any way, shape, or form. It's like a casual's dream. This is the perfect field for casuals. Manastero is a name that people still will remember from 10 years ago and come back and go, well, he's playing well again. Like, I think Manastero is a better draft, Kings play than he is a bit at this point, betting him for a little while now. On the betting side of things, just to go back, just to make it clear, I am betting, Rasmus Boy got an 18 to one. So, favorite player draft Kings, favorite play on the betting board, 18 to one there. I think it's all, I think you just, there's two ways of approaching it. You either take Rasmus and then start filtering down to the kind of high eights, I think, or you take two of these guys. And then just, you do it, you do it. - That's awesome. - It really feels. - Well, I've played a lot of stars and scrubs, heavy type of fields on the PGA Tour 'cause the top of the field has been so good. There is not that separation. Despite liking Rasmus this week, where you could skip the 10Ks completely, very easily, you could be starting lineups with Manastero, honestly, Manastero Guido, I think is a very fair start and not even have to dip really below like 7,500. So, I think there's a different way to approach this in your typical week and you could go, you know, the 10K heavy type of route like we mentioned and then skip the range, but I don't know. I think canter probably is the best, best contrarian play for me in the range 'cause I just doubt people feel comfortable with him, played well as one time here at the ball, great. And just showing signs of life and I mean, very well could be on the way of the PGA Tour where I think he could be very good on the PGA Tour. - Yeah, I do. I think we've sort of said this when he got on his win, like his perfect profile for it. I think you're right. I think a lot of people don't really know glory cans are still, like especially people that don't like live, they're not gonna pay attention to the fact that he was playing over there. You know, it's quite easy to miss the fact that he'd won on DP or Torres and among us a good run for the PGA Tour. So, yeah, I think he is definitely the difference maker. There is so many players in this high eights that are appealing, that it makes it so hard to just take that one shot as well, despite obviously like in Rasmus. - Right, right, I don't disagree. And if we just rolled right into the 8Ks, I mean, a larger range every single time, you and I align on our first selection here. It's where I'm starting my betting card for the week and it's Alex Fitzpatrick, not Matthew, Alex Fitzpatrick, who finished fifth here last year on debut. I think we picked Alex as our sleeper to have a PGA Tour card, you know, in this coming year. Unfortunately, his not came through to that degree. However, he still does have, I think it's like eight top 20s on the year, three top 10s, including a T6 with the checkmasters was T12 last week. If he had any bit of irons, he would have had that. And overall, it's not the most of his game so far that we have seen. We've kind of, again, this putting and maybe a little bit of off the T progress, built around accuracy, which again, at high elevation, he's not gonna have to bomb it around at this course. So last year, he was pretty brutal actually off the T and still managed that top five. Just feels he's checking a lot of boxes of incoming form for me overall and feel like, you know, he opened with a 74 close with a 68 last week to get to T12. I just feel like he has that ceiling just we've seen it on the challenge tour in 2023, getting his card quite quickly where he can win a big time events. And I think this could be a nice kickoff for him. - Yeah, the very lazy thing to say is he's gonna play practice rounds with his brother who's won twice and got a four top threes here. And that's only gonna benefit him. The other lazy thing is that he's finished fifth, right? And that's, but I mean, I think we packed him last year. I'm pretty sure I did. - I think we did, yes. - Yeah, like we've been him last year and he didn't quite get the job done, but he looked comfortable for a little part of it, he looked like he could win it. My only reservation works especially. It is only one is that his iron player hasn't been great. Like he was decent at the chip masters, but otherwise it's been pretty poor. Now, the one thing I would say that points to is that his finishes, he's still got what, like three top twirls in the last, what is that, like eight starts. There's just a flaw to his game as well. You talk about the high ceiling, but I think he's just such an established player so quickly. Now, he's only 25 years old sky. And I was putting it, like, because Matt was winning at kind of like 2021 on the DP World Tour, he was kind of touted as a star before he was won very quickly, made a transition to the PJ at all. I think I feel like there's just this assumption, Alex was actually sort of just getting nowhere near him in terms of quality. Now, I'm not wanting to sit here and say, "I think Alex was a future major winner and he's going to go and be top 10 in the world." But I just wonder what the gap is going to look like between the two players when it's all said and done. Now, I don't know what success looks like. If Alex Fitzpatrick becomes a Matt Wallace who's won three or four times on the DP World Tour and can contend and win on the PJ Tour once in the Blue Moon, plays the Balspar world, something like that. That's still a hugely successful career. It's just very unfortunate to be compared against his brother. I don't think that's outside the realm of possibility. Now, that's sort of play we're talking about. Then at 40 to one on the DP World Tour, our causes finished fifth out last year after he's coming out for the sixth and 12. Seems like a no-brainer. And as you said, we did predict him as a sleeper to have that PJ Tour card. And whilst he hasn't got it yet, nor God made a 30-place move in the rankings last week with a win, if Fitzpatrick does that, then he's getting a card or he's in position to get a card. - Yeah, 100%. A lot can still shake out for the shorter time period that we have. The rest of the eight Ks here, Jasper Spencer and we talked about. I mean, Christ appropriately might not have all the interest, debut here coming off a fifth in a second. I mean, he just spikes. I think that's what he's done enough. I mean, he has five top fives on the season, mixed with I think five missed cuts on DP World Tour events, but no other finishes inside the top five, only eight top 20. So when he's in it, he's in it. And potentially might get over-owned to me, relative to some of the guys around him that I like a little bit more, like a Jorge Campio who now getting over here, we see him flourish again. Again, I thought he was pretty underrated and sneaky, go down the PGA Tour this year, to then come into this field to be priced to 8700. To me, I have a lot of interest there. He would be my pick probably Overland Gask, Land Gasky, I mean, it feels cheap for Jordan Smith at 8400, Matthew Jordan, I thought had a pretty awesome year, obviously with the Open Championship, any thoughts from you in the 8 case? - Yes, I think you've probably assessed fence and not done then, sorry, right, but in the same way that I have in the sense that I couldn't quite get to the best in card. I think believe that it's going to continue. And the reason behind that is, he's just done it in two separate ways. He's done it all off to see it, check Mars has finished second, and then it all basically passing miles, but he did hit the driver well as well. But that's not going to be enough here. He's going to need to be raised a shot of his irons, and he just hasn't had that yet. So that would be the negative. So yes, Mr. Benson, I agree with Campio. I do understand that he's been pretty underrated when he's come back and played in the DP World Tour. He's looked pretty good. He's got a fourth at the Myrtle Beach on the PJs already on the season, fifth at the Qatar Masters, sixth obviously last week, and gained in three of the four categories. I think that's huge, you know, he's not every time we can game with around the green stuff. So absolutely fine with that. He's got the fourth place finished at the course. Very volatile, I would say at the go, of course, is the one concerned, but he's got the fourth. I think Jordan's really steady. I remember him playing really well here on-- Matthew Jordan, you're saying Matthew Jordan, right? Sorry, yes. Matthew Jordan, he's 500. Third, like he was fifth after round two, third going into Sunday, finished fourth. I thought I was really consistent of him, and then even when he followed up to finish 44th, we had a second round 67, five round 66. So I think that's really solid at the course. And when you look at his form, as you said, it spikes, obviously, at the open championship. That's the second time now he's done well in the open. Everyone kind of looked at it and went look. This is just what he does because he's at home. No, follows it back up with a side 10. - He, before you go on, Link's golf, like he's now the number one player that I think about in Link's golf, 'cause he's done it now a lot. - Yeah, and look, that the argument would be, is he gonna do that, but when you look at his form, fifth at the sadau open, 13th at the European Open, 12th at the Scandy Mix, 25th at the Scottish Open, 26th, sorry, just really consistent. I know the last couple of weeks, I haven't been exactly what he wants yet, but there's a period of time where he's getting over the open, getting himself back in the mix. I think he looks really good at Matthew Jordan. - And we don't have to bet on him to win either. Like I don't really trust him to win, but to pay off $8,500, I think he can do absolutely. - Yeah, I think I would pick him out of those three who just presents him or he can pay out. And probably, Langest is a different question, but I probably can't get there either on him. - I will say buyer beware on Ewan Ferguson, another one who, if you've kind of read some of the tea leaves, he recently withdrew from an event. He's having vertigo issues. The first started at the European Open in June, where he had to withdraw for the first event and hasn't been able to really assess it. He did win an event after getting the diagnosis and really not even playing like himself, but then popped up again. He withdrew in check the week before after not feeling comfortable and then said things arose again early on last week, played but missed the cut. So I think Ewan, similar to Soderberg, just comes with a profile of people are comfortable with him, have seen him do well when they played him in spots, it's a good box score. I am probably leaning on the side of avoiding because I think there's too much to be worried about and the health side of things. So that's a sneaky one there. - I don't think you want to be in the Alps when you've got Versco either, right? - I would assume not, no. - I, and that sounds like I'm taking a bit of a cheap shot, but like a genuinely serious, I feel like it's probably the worst place he could possibly be. And I imagine the only thing I would say is that he might figure that out today and tomorrow. - Correct, correct. - Just put out beforehand. It seems strange that he's kind of forcing it a little bit. - But he's probably in a spot, I mean, what's he on the rankings? - Yeah, I guess. - 23rd, what he has card? - He's pushing for that. No, he's pushing for that PJ Toolcard. - Right, yeah. I mean, he's probably just nosy, can't really miss too much. Of the other guys in the eight Ks, I mean, it's cool to see, I mean, I think he played last or two weeks ago, his to two and he missed the cut. But I still think Rio has like, he's somebody I would be interested in these eight Ks, has a sky high ceiling, does it with hot irons and a really hot putter. You know, didn't really come to fruition on the PGA Tour this year. I mean, he had the T3 at the Wyndham, but he was awesome last year on the DP World Tour, 13th on debut here last year. He's somebody that, a good man. - I'm almost intrigued at betting him now that I think about this. What are your thoughts on his to do? - Just hard to get right, I think. I don't know, that's kind of sitting on the fence. I think the upside is, literally finished third at the Wyndham Championship amongst the PJ Toolfield. The downside is he's finished, he's missed four at the last five cuts. And I know that they're coming in events that, yeah, the Scotty Chopin. When it's the Scotty Chopin in the open, I'm fine with that. When it's shooting E.T.2 at the 3M open and then missing a guy at the Czech Masters, the week after finishing third, I'm a bit concerned. - You still stripe the ball at the Czech Masters. - It's a lot of back and forth, isn't it? Like, he just doesn't drop, he's a player that's going to cope with his back and forth. And when you look at the fact that you finished 13th last year, he might just be grateful for just being back in the DP World Tour Swinger things. And he was really good. He got better throughout the week. 268 so open, 65, 66 over the weekend. - That probably lines up to be like the perfect draft. Like he's pointing the one in this range. I feel more confident and consistent of Alex Fitzpatrick than him. But at a draft, King's upside, where you know the floor is missing the cut. Like, I think in tournaments, like that's the perfect style. You also get safe, kind of sign and use Luton, kind of priced around them. Gonna hit fairways, gonna hit greens, gonna play well, pretty well here. So I think, again, that balance strategy where you do kind of load up in this range, it's probably pretty prevalent. - I was gonna say quite like Simon. I think he's playing strongly now. And he went for another little low, didn't he? And he's had economies cuts the first two times here, but then finished third, last year, second going into the final round. We know he has a little bit of a winning problem, but just seems to be finding a little bit more consistency now in his game again. 34th at the Sedau Open move. 7th going into Friday, 22nd European Open. 4th at the BMW International Open. 15th again at the Scottish Open. Really good result in that kind of field. 7th going into the weekend, at the Chet Masters, still 12th going into Sunday. And then a little bit disappointed in last week. So I think he's playing well. But I'm really intrigued by Matty Schmidt. He's a player that I kind of track quite a lot on the PJ Tour, spoiler alert. I'll probably be back in him in Mexico and places like that, the muder as we go in. So that kind of swing on the PJ Tour. But he played well here last year, I believe. I think it was 24th. He definitely had a top 25 here. 24th last year. Open was 66th, close was 65. And when you look at his results, Skye, they've been pretty consistent considering he's, you know, been here there and everywhere. 15th for the KLM Open 5th going into the weekend. 52nd to Robyn Morgan, not great, but he opened was 66 to be 4th. 32nd at the BMW International Open. Did miss the cut, I believe that was in Scotland. But then Barracuda made the cut, 12th at the 3M Open, 26th for the Olympics, obviously limited field. And then open was 68, 67th at the window and just fell away. I think he's playing pretty strongly and AK is a good price, I think, on someone of his upside. - I think people like to click Matty Schmidt on the 6Ks and PJ Tour. So I know, you know, he could be somebody that's comforting and I don't disagree. The profile is a little bit different than what I like here. But again, the price, you're getting that discount for him. - Do you think though on that point, you're probably better place to argue on this than me, but like you say people are like clicking him at 6K and stuff and that's what they see him out on the PJ Tour every week. When people start to see him 8K, is it a, oh, that's a familiar name I'm going to play him or is it a, oh, I don't want to pay 1,500 more for him this week? - Yeah, I mean, it could all be relative. It's either comfort of knowing who you're playing versus the other. I kind of think people like those that they've played on the PJ Tour when they're coming into these type of events more than are price sensitive. But he was also like, the thing at the Olympics is he might have finished 26, but he had a bajillion birdies was in the mix. Like I think he had like, it got to like seven under early on like the Thursday at Legolf National, which I didn't think was a course fit for him either. And just shows he can pay off salary without even having a top end finish. So that's kind of safe. Cause, cause country right next to it is my next betting selection, which if you really want to thread the needle of trying to get a golfer's first win since he's been on the DP World Tour. And when it's not a new golfer to the DP World Tour, we're getting tight here with Gavin Green. But I mean, if I think through him, right, I mean, he has a missing cut here. Three top 12s, eighth last year here. And what Gavin Green does is just go nuclear with the irons. That's just his game. And if he pairs that with a top end putter, he's he's in the mix, right? I mean, that is, that is what it is. He's really in the mix when it comes to Thursdays, you know, he's a great showdown play. He's a great first round leader type of play for that. But I think at 7900 it probably won't get past people cause he's played some pretty dengue golf this week, this year, but he's one of my favorite plays of the entire slate. 60 to one to try to get that victory is what I'm shooting for here. So it's 7900 and I'm in, I'm Gavin Green. - Yeah, it wasn't someone I looked at really in terms of betting, but the more we kind of speak here, I've got space on my card and I don't mind it at all. Like it, he was, he was getting there with his form. These spikes, as you said last week, finish his ninth. And that course on really is ridiculous. Now, you know what I'm going to say, it's going to be the first round leader. He had a Sasti 63 on debut. He had open 65-64. So lead after 36 holes in the second time around, second round 65 on the third go around. That was after an opening 74. He had a fine around 64 two years ago, every year here and then he led after round one with a 63 last year. Every year he shoots a 63 out of 64. All that kind of, all that type of score. So I will be back to him at least first round leader, I think. Yeah, I like it, I do like it. Without a name association, we would be all over it, right? We just don't trust Gavin Green to win. Yeah, but I guess bases. We'll be pretty good, though, at six. Yeah, I think everyone at this point now, we've got parts of the people we trust to win and people who are taught after we got out of the same scaling. So maybe throw some Lawrence, I guess. But yeah, we're definitely in, can they win territory? I mean, Ross was right next to him 7900. Great player struggles to win. Alexander Bjork, 7800. So spoiler alert, I'm basing Alexander Bjork and playing and drafting 7800. Because I think it's an out of sight, out of mind type approach of Alexander Bjork. We just haven't, he hasn't been frittering across both sides or anything like that. He's been trying his best to play it out there on a PGA. So we did come back to the Scandinavian mix. When he did, he was third going into a fine around finish 12. But he's just really struggled. Like he just puts himself under so much pressure off the tee that his approach plays just been got awful. And it was really surprising when he made the cup of the PGA championship and played really nicely with his irons there. And I just, with that kind of thought process going into the Scandinavian mix, not played since the Ling's golf stretch. I just think Alexander Bjork, this is the perfect golf course for him. As I said, right at the top of the show, probably should have won here last year, arguably. And he's got like three more top 20s on top of the second and another 28. Really good here. You missed one week and we withdrew after 69. So I'm willing to take the shot on Bjork whilst we don't know kind of what we're getting. - Do we know where he's been? Like what's been going on? Like that's a significant miss of time when you are 167th in the FedEx Cup rankings. And maybe you just had no shot to get, I mean, you do like you had a shot to get in the top 70 if you played well at the 3M. You didn't even deal with the 3M at the windum. Like the windum probably should be like the most course fit for Alexander Bjork of the entire PGA Tour season. I was shocked he didn't play. - Yeah, I mean, he's Aaron Wright, right? Like he's the same type person. I don't know what he's doing, but whatever that means is an injury and that we should be worried about. And that's what's kind of left. But I just think there's just a huge lack of confidence of doing anything on the PGA Tour. He's had a go, he'll be back next year and he'll be absolutely delighted to be back. Whereas someone like McIntyre is uncomfortable being out there for sort of mental reasons and just not wanting to be in America, Bjork just cannot play in America. Like there's nothing about his game to translate. So I think he'll just benefit from coming back and I like him in this golf course. - Yeah, for sure, for sure. I think absolutely the McWorse fit makes a lot of sense. I really like Johannes Verman, 7800. Didn't end up betting him again. I mean, he's probably right there for me with Gavin Green. I feel like his just comes with a little bit more inconsistency. I mean, on the year as a whole, right? Four or five top tens, littered with top 40 or worse results throughout their last week, he was lights out off the tee, lights out with approach, finished hyper 23rd while losing close to six strokes on the green. If not more, he was 10th when he came over to the States in the ISO Championship, which was really strong for him. Only one time playing here missed the cut. But I mean, I think at this price, I'm pretty, pretty into what Johannes Verman can do from an upside standpoint. - Yeah, I like Verman. Like he was definitely one that I looked at in both perspectives. I think I'd rather play him than Yannick Paul, currently that the one is Adrian and Sadiye. - Right, even going to Sadiye. I think he's super close there too. So I was going to bet him. He went from 75 to 50s and I kind of decided against it. I think there's potentially limited winning upside on him. The form is really good and he seems to play well at this time of year consistently. He's played well in America a couple of times in that trip. We pair a weekend 65 last year, starting to 13th, 7th here three years ago, again, a third round 65 there. Got another top 25, really loves the event. And then when you look at his obviously finishes of recent, 16th, 29th, 3rd and 5th, really strong for Sadiye. So that would be why I would probably go him over Verman in this position. But I think they're much, much less in terms of talent, probably if anything, Verman's probably better. - Yeah, I don't disagree. We talked, you know, guys who probably cannot play when it comes to American style courses. You mentioned Bjork. Andrea Pavan is another one that kind of fits that off the T-game is just irrelevant. Even after overcoming the yips, but might set up extremely well at this type of course. You know, he's popped and played decent, was really good with the irons last week. He could garner some interest there at 7600. Yeah, Callum Hill, probably pretty safe with kind of the Connersheim Association I have with those guys, safe golfers in this range. The one that I'm going back to the well at triple digits with at 7500 is, I just think Henry Norlander is just better than what he should be, like in this range. You know what I mean? He's top 25 being three consecutive PGA Tour events. Last week, he was pretty horrific off the tee. Irons were as good as what they were in America. He sorts that out or maybe gets the driver out of his hands a little bit more. And of course, like this, we can be iron off the tee, has never played here in the event before. But to me, I am just willing to bet on the talent in what we saw come to fruition on the PGA Tour at this type of level when he's priced like this. I just think with Norlander, people are underestimating what he's actually done in his career. And that's because he hasn't got all of the wins to his name. But this is a guy that's had, I think he's lost two playoffs on the PGA Tour. He's obviously won a couple of times on the Conferry Tour. You have to wonder if he was a player that was playing over here every week, would he win a bit more? I'm pretty confident to say that he would do. So yes, he's 37 years of age and hasn't necessarily achieved that much. But I think it goes overlooked just how difficult it is to stay relevant for that long in the cycle of players and he's managed it. I mean, you look at the people he's lost to in playoffs. Mackenzie Hughes won the RSM, I think that was his first win. You know what he's done since Billy Horschel was also in that playoff. And then the one last year, you know, Luke List won, but we had Luke Bigger Bear in the playoff. So that's the caliber of player he's going up against. And so I do think that Norlander is overlooked and I would be a little bit gutted if he went on to win that wasn't on. So I think he's potentially the one that I might add at 100s one. Yeah, very intrigued for me there. If I look anyone else in the wins. By the way, Andrew Pavan is not just a bad driver. He is the worst driver of the golf ball in the entire world. And I think that includes amateurs. Like, yeah, I think he's gained strength with the driver like three times in his whole career. He's absolutely awful with the driver. I don't, it's actually testament to how good the rest of his game is that he can actually succeed on the tour because he is awful with the driver. Andrea, if you're out there, I'm sorry, but you are literally horrendous. Talking of other players in the sevens. I don't know if we've given up on Rachira Hoshino a little bit quickly. I mean, right now, if you're ended, he has a PGA tour card with some comfort. Yeah, and we obviously won on him at the Qatar Masters. That was after he'd finished a year with those two seconds then the in Australia was 12th and Bahrain the week before. He's been 10 for the KLM Open, good eye and play there, 6th at the end of the International Open, good eye and play there. As I keep sort of referencing, I don't necessarily mind when some of these players miss the cut back to back at the Open in the Scottish. If they play really well in the Scottish, they miss the cut in the Open or vice versa, I'd be a little bit more concerned, but they're just not linked to golfers yet. They're not linked to golfers. He hit his eyes terribly last week, but I imagine that's pretty much an anomaly in terms of what he does. This feels like a better Hoshino course based on what we've seen about him in the last couple of years. So I'd be tempted to give him a chance. I haven't bet him, but at 7,600, I think he's a good play. Yeah, I mean, I think he's a good player too. And potentially, I think we were in on him when he won a little bit more 'cause the distance heavy side of things. So, I mean, maybe it's taken out of the bag a little bit more here, but I'll be curious to see. And I think, I mean, at the price, of course. I mean, I think a lot of these 7K guys are our good plays. Like I could see myself very spread out in this range. Mentioned from the top really into Andrew Wilson, 7,400. He's on my card at 100 to one to win this week. I mean, back to back really strong weeks after going into that PGA Tour break off of two other top 20. So we went 10th, 20th, made the cut and his one PGA Tour start where he was, I think, 5th after the first round that week, open with a 65, yes. And then 14th, 9th. I mean, just really good stretch of golf, continuing debut here for him. But if he keeps this up, I mean, he seems to be the one at an odds price in 7,400 for me. That is my favorite in this lower 7Ks. Yeah, so I was pretty high on Wilson yesterday on our podcast. And I was so concerned that he couldn't win. But 100th and 10th is what I'm going to play him. And I'm going to join you with Henry Norlander 100. So that kind of summarizes that with Wilson. There's a couple of players. This mid-7s range is actually really difficult. It's put to separate players because Andrew Johnstone's playing some good golf again now, who came on our podcast. He just stays to the DP or tour. He said, you know, his playoff tracks and what's he like here? He finished third here on his second start, opening and closing 65s there. 35th, probably his late. That's 23rd. So he's been pretty solid at this golf course. Even when he was 60th last time, he was 14th going into the weekend. It just seems to be out of nowhere. He's kind of got over those fitness issues. A little bit of the mental health issues he was having. He was second going into the weekend at the Czech Masters. Obviously, Rusty, third still going. Sunday, he finished his 23rd. Danish golf championship 25th going into the final round. He finished his 42nd, and he finished his 18th last week. Pretty much getting better all week. So again, that progression I mentioned about with Rasmus Odeov, I just want to see them get better throughout the week. That was the case with Johnstone. And just lending itself to essentially good week. And then right next to him, Richie Ramsey, who loves this time of the event. This is right in Richie Ramsey's wheelhouse. He has won the event. He's got two other top 10s at the golf course. Playing OK as well. There's a really good case here. Countries, what we said about maybe going sort of like stats across the gates and nines. But you can play some of those 10 guys. Because you can get these players that are going back and forth here in the seven case. Yeah, 100%. I mean, another one super popular in some of the outrights that I saw was Marcus Kinhol at 7,500 flat, too. 10th here as an amateur in 2015 is yet to miss a cut back to back top 25 finishes. Almost had one at that KLM open when he'd lost the playoff to Guido. So I mean, there's a ton to really pick from. And I think he could be confident with a lot of them. If I'm going to go off the board, low 7ks, on Hell, Aora, I still don't think with a challenge toward not having very much publicity. I mean, 19 years old, winning his first professional win. Last week is going to have a DP World Tour card. Popped up early on in the year 21st in the Australian Open for him, where he was awesome. I think we had bet him early on in the year. He was three of four, I think, of making the cuts in his DP World Tour starts, actually four or five of making them. Now we get him in a price range at top 20 pays off immensely. For him and then right next to him is who we mentioned. We want to be on his next start. And that's Jacob's golf also, you know. At 7200 for him, 13th in Wagger. If you look at Dada Golf's rankings of him, he's 15th. He was fifth at his home country Danish golf championship into the mix a little bit on that week after making the cut of the Open Championship. So as an amateur, getting a spot start here again, I think he's somebody that we can get pretty different with with him and Aora, compared to some of the guys that just are more, I guess a little bit more name recognition. But I think those two at 7200, I love at the bottom there. - So what I would say, based on what we've just been talking about with the kind of build and what we've seen over here in the past, this is an event that really does go to the top guys, like as much as we've had a couple of shots with Sotheburg at the time. And if you've had one other that was quite soft. - And Rachel Romero, right? Wasn't he pretty long here too? - Yeah, and you've had David Lipsky's one. But generally speaking, you know, Romero's was running right to Sotheburg. Like the last three years, living able to thristen Aaron's residence away guard. We talked about all of those already. So that's in Sotheburg. Back-to-back of Matt Fitzpatrick after Alex Norris, Danny Willett, Thomas Piedler on a couple of times, McGowan, it's a very much a who's who we'll be able to talk. So I think just pausing here at this point and saying, like you've got those upside of Olsen and Aora that we believe could be really high-level talents. When we start getting into the six Ks, and we will obviously talk about them briefly, but like, I don't necessarily think this is a long shot week. I think this is very top heavy. Yes, we've got a bunch of seven and a half K guys that we think potentially win top 20, Andrew Wilson, Andrew Johnson, et cetera. But I think in terms of, I'll be looking for this 6,300 guy that's going to come in and win. I don't think so. - Yeah, and I think that's kind of started off from the top. Like I'm not very intrigued. I love the six Ks in the PGA tour, because then it makes you play the combinations of Scheffler and Zander together and all these different ones. And you obviously have a little bit more trust and bigger events of those guys, especially as of late. But yeah, when you get into the six Ks, I think there's some one offs that are okay, but it's not nearly the same comfort level. - I don't think I'm just scrolling through the six Ks now. And I don't think there's a single player that I'd feel comfortable touting as like a potential top 20 guy. - I got one. I got maybe one at 6,9 or two, maybe at 6,9. But get right down the bottom, I'm struggling. So I think it's really important to note there that you can build those teams without going this far down is quite key, I think. - So every 100 also, Max Rotliff, after being on him recently, he did top 10 last week. It's been weird with his game. He was lights out approach when he was in the States. And then hasn't repeated that, but he's been really good with the putter, was really good off the T last week. So if he can kind of combine to that, I mean, he's got some upside there at 7,100, but I'm comfortable chatting into with the couple we like at the six Ks if you're good with that. - Yeah, just one more point on it's minutes, 7,200. Or is he already won with natural theory this season, but he's just a player that just plays well where he can play well and it's as simple as that. Now he was pretty poor with his approach by the last week in or two weeks going Denmark. But you look at his course form here, 20th, 4th, 13th and 9th amongst three Miss cuts on the 59th. I think that's really impressive. So for a player that we know has turned up this year when this course of suit is obviously once about seven for the Scandemic, second in Kenya, third Xar Masters. Yes, you're looking at the players miss four with last five cuts, but the 28th at Chet Masters is fine. And it's all coming off a recent win. So I think there's some upside there in 72. But yes, this goes into the same case. Only the other one buyer beware again, Sean Crocker withdrew last week pre-turniment. I'm not sure if it's injury related or not. I did see that Crocker got, he got engaged after the Open Championship recently. So maybe on just an extended life, vacation of PGA Tour or DP World Tour Golf. But I mean, he did battle with some injuries prior to, but he made the cut of the Open. Yeah, I think he was injured, I'm sure, but it's only about his injury. But again, we've had this conversation with Sean Crocker in the past that like, I think we know he enjoys the good life and is potentially quite chilled out in terms of, you know, parenthesis and things like that. So I would just be worried about my motivation factor right now. Right. I mean, like Saturday at the Open already shot a 69 and that was pretty, pretty dang strong for him in the top 10 in the field that day. But okay. So before we go in the sixth case, just want to make sure we give a shout out to our audio listeners. You can find us on Daily Fantasy Sports picks in bets. The mix, appreciate the love on there. It was great getting back in the swing of it. Last week with you, Tom, huge September for the DP World Tour. We know NFL is kicking off, past got a bunch of shows that I was listening to him, Pozzola, Cam, Cust, and Jeff this past week in the NFL Total Show, which is always a fun draft show. I love listening to those guys every week. So so much on the Mayo Media Network as football kicks off here in the States. But again, Hot Time for European Golf as we close out the year in some of our favorite events overall. So Tom and I will be at it. So we appreciate the support by leaving comments, rate reviewing and subscribing across the podcast platform as well as YouTube. So thank you for that. Six Ks, you said you got a couple at 6900. Who are they? - Yeah, Jeff Winter is a player that the golf course shoots soon. It hasn't yet, which is potentially a concern. When you look at the kind of performances put in here, they've been pretty uninspiring. We've draw a missed cut, 40 or 29 missed cut. But when he was 29th, he had two rounds of six, seven and 66. I thought it was pretty impressive. Four sub-seventies there. He's shown life a couple of times. When you look at his approach play, it's been pretty decent. The last two starts eighth and 12th. So I think it's worth kind of keeping in mind. But the one I think is really common is Lucas Nemec, who I still don't know really what he is. Like I can't really pinpoint him, but his approach play looks solid right now. When he's made the current 11th, 23rd, 28th, 22nd, I know who I have slightly different data on that sky, but generally speaking, he's playing pretty well. He's green again, strong. So from what he's shown there, the fact that on debut here, he was 19 past around once, wealth going into weekend. And then a shot pair of 72s and finished 62nd. I thought it was quite actually eye-catching because you look at 67 missed cut in his course long ago. Okay, well, he doesn't play very well here, but really good for the first two days. Then last year, he opens up a 68, shoots 74 misses a cut. Just the way he's playing like 27, 45th, 13th, 28th, 19th, and his last five starts. 27th at BMW International Open, he was eighth going into the weekend, 45th of the year's go in, America is 15th going into the weekend, 13th for the Barracuda, he was actually 10th in the strokely scoring, 12th going into the final round of Czech Masters, finished 28th and then 19th last time out, getting better every day at the Danish. Just looks like he's in a really good patch of form. And because he's shown that first couple of rounds here two years ago on debut, I think he's an interesting player six to nine. - Yeah, Nemex definitely has popped in some of that, that fashion when looking through it. For me, the one that I think has the upside, that could maybe do a little bit of a shocker at this event is Taichi Ko at 60, I believe he's 6600 officially. So Taichi is 23 years old, plays primarily out of the Asian tour. Again, kind of a limited amount of the starts this year as he just turned professional in 2023 where he was on the Asian tour, had won at his home course early on in the Asian tour, followed up with multiple top 10 finishes that year, I believe he had five in total that year. And then 2024 really had been a sleeper until the last five events for him, eighth. Now that's at the Asian, or the all Thailand tour, excuse me. And then four consecutive finishes of T13, T13, T10, T13 on the Asian tour. Now, I'm betting him to win at 40 or 400 to one. Primarily though, I want that top 10, top 10, 20 on him when I look through kind of his profile, but he was somebody that was pretty decent as an amateur, you know, when we kind of build him there. And I know Brad and our friend Michael golf, who I want to give a shout out, you know, Brad had a successful launch on Patreon. Our friend Michael recently went on Patreon as well because he's been a very quality tipster for multiple years for free on Twitter. So always love to support those that are kind of going on their venture for that. But both of those guys hit Tai Chi co at like 500 to one in that Asian tour event on his home course, when he pretty much dominated as I think 21 year old. So I just think the upside is in there and at 6600 in his current form, I like it quite a bit for a, you know, a very low on play. - Yeah, for sure. Like people are just, you talk about the kinds of bits you've had. So people aren't with people. It's all people just don't know him. Like, I don't know a ton about him. I know from speaking with Brad and yourself that a bit about him, but really don't know too much about his game. So if I don't, then, you know, casual players are really not going to know are they? So that would be one thing I'd say there. Oliver Wilson is the same price. He's showing a little bit of form. Not gonna get too into the weeds. Oliver Wilson because it's dangerous for me, but he is playing pretty decent. He's a girl, of course, he does like, but I think after that, it's him because I've seen a lot of people talk about Sam Jones Skye, which I thought you might be interested in. - I'm so, I think as like his game, it's scaring me because I fall on Instagram and he posts like his stroke gain from like practice rounds. And he, they aren't good. Like he's showing like he's like really struggling with irons, like really struggling, like in like chipping and then he's like the best first round leader play of like all time. Like he opened the 67th Danish golf championship and then last week at the British Masters, I'm pretty sure he was like two, three under through like six or seven holes, looked out his way to posting a big score or did miss the cut last week. But I mean, I think you probably have to stick with these guys and normally I'm just so hot or cold trying to pick between Nicholas, Giletti, Jones, like who is right? I think at this time I'm okay with skipping them all and think they're talent long term. I just hope they keep their cards, you know, and we can bet on them and see them in a longer sample size, but I'm okay probably not being as interested in Jones this week. - Yeah, the two players, I think just from a spike performance perspective, that was a mouth, wasn't it? Adrian analysis got two top 10s here, sixth and ninth. And when you look at his kind of recent form, it's either great or terrible. He's got a fifth at the Italian Open, I think it was. And then 12 at the Czech Masters where he was actually higher place, I think earlier in the week, 25th going back to European Open. So he's got some good starts. And then the other one is Renato Paratori, absolutely loves his golf course, but he's playing like one of the worst players on the tour. So it's hard to really know what to do. But even last, like last four years, 12th, seventh, 29th and 13th here. And I imagine probably in quite comparable form, he's not someone who's been very good for a while now. So if you want to someone that can spike at his golf course, I think Renato Paratori is that player. - Well, what was interesting to me about Renato, I'm trying to pull this up as we speak. He was fifth in Stroke's hand approach on Friday. He opened with an 82 and then he shot a 70 in round two. I don't think he putted it very well, but I think his like ball striking was kind of close to what we've seen out of Renato and this type of course fit. I mean, I think he's somebody who was just putrid off the tee as well. So he could on this style of course, I would be way more into him than anything like bigger track. And you're right. I mean, his history here is great. - Why can't Italian people hit the driver? - I mean, wasn't that like what Francesco Malanoi typically struggled with a little bit before he found his game was essentially going to be the best player in the world? - But still it was like 270 yards and right down the middle. I wasn't like, I would take that. These guys aren't even doing that. They're not even doing the fairway and hitting it too fast. - Yeah, they're 270 instead of trees and you've got Paratori, Manocero lost his whole career from not being able to hit driver. But how can there be a whole nation? Like, tell me one Italian player's great driving the golf player isn't one. - No, Rideau's finally like coming around to be better. He's being better with it. This is like the first year and multiple years. I mean, he had lost that completely, you know, so. - Whereas like Danish people like to just pound it and they just break it up. They're obviously like Nordic or Viking or whatever. But like, what is there about it? They're just too laid back to that. So they were like, what is it? - I guess, yeah, man. - 'Cause they carb load. They eat so much pasta and pizza. You think they smash it down the middle. - Yeah, for sure. - Yeah. - For sure, huh. - Well, we got an hour, Tom, a little bit over that. I think this is in-depth preview through a lot of the golfers. I need to talk with Matt yesterday, I lost four words too, if you've been looking for additional. But this is the type of week, 20K for the DP World Tour at a top prize. That's, you know, something I'm definitely going after and I want to take advantage. And hopefully we can fill these contests to, you know, kind of get them for Wentworth, which would be the really big opportunity last year in one of the DP World Tour events. It was 100K to first. So we could use that for Wentworth if we fill this type of week. I mean, they didn't post the contest till this morning or this afternoon pretty much for the DP World Tour. So let's be vocal and filling it. Let's be vocal in advance of Wentworth 'cause I love getting more eyeballs on the DP World Tour, especially at some of the best tracks that we have. So with that being said, Tom, do you want to review your betting card for us? - Yes, I'm back in Rasmus, for you guys at 18 to one. Alex, it's Patrick at 40 to one. Alex on a Bjork at 66 to one. And then I'm joining you on Henry Norlander at 100 to one. And Andrew Wilson at 110 to one. - Yep. So Alex, it's Patrick with you 40s. I like Gavin Green, who you said, you're going to go with the first round leader option. I like Gavin Green at 60s. Andrew Wilson, 100 to one over here in the States, 100th Norlander, 100. And then long shot Tai Chi Ko 400 to one with a top 10 and top 20 in that for the week. So I put a bow on it for us, Tom. Appreciate you, as always. What's on deck next week for us? Is it the... - Right, is it the Irish? - I think it's the Irish, right? Yeah. Yep. Irish at Royal County Down, which will be awesome. Next week, and I believe it's right into Wentworth the following week, right? - Yeah, so I went with an interesting one, which potentially go, I've got the Friday off of work. So I might try and go sit on the Friday. Really good field. Like if anyone's kind of looking for one of the more exciting fields and it's kind of months or so, that's one of the best. Like Zalatoris is playing, Horstle's playing, Adam Scott's playing, Justin Rose, Rory, all these guys are coming over for that. So don't know if we're getting any of the lift guys yet or not. I imagine potentially not with it being the flagship event, but always a good event, always a good field. And as you said, probably the biggest prize pool we're gonna get. So mark that for a couple of weeks time. Royal County Down should be amazing. And then it's just been a really good run of, I'm so glad you're back, Skye. Because, you know, Spanish open, done the hill links, open to France. We know what we like about the golf national. And this year is not a Valdera armor anymore, but still getting sites and events. So, and then it goes right into the kind of play off event. So it's gonna be really good into the season. - And Q school has started. I mean, it's hard to find or even like, it had to do, but first stage has started. I think it's the second week is going on right now. I'll give a shot out to bear off. He always to do us and this is an hour and five minutes in. So if he's still listening and awake, I appreciate you bear off. But we're on Aman Gupta, who made it through the first stage. He's 500 to one of the challenge tour this week. So there's a little sneaky tip too, that we found from old man, Aman Gupta for us there to kind of put a bow on a long shot week there. - I like it. I did notice a play. I can't remember whose name it was. I noticed it was, it's up on those. I need to go back and have a look. But there's some excitement players. I mean, Brad tips it, you know, so it kind of gets my eyes there for it. So I'm always intrigued Q school. 'Cause again, a lot of these guys were in Q school last year that have now made their way into the mix and a lot of things. So all right, with that, we'll put it close to it. Thank you guys as always. We'll catch you next week for the Irish Open. Thanks so much. - That's fun. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) [MUSIC PLAYING]
