 Hey, we're just going on. I am Greg Susman joined today by Jim Sonnis of Fandle Who's here to break down and this week's rocket mortgage was going on Jim. It is all good Greg I'm pretty excited for this weekend because it's a deviation from what we've had It's been strong feel that for strong feel the past couple of weeks and now It's a little bit interesting which can lead to some differentiations in roster construction and decisions to be made or daily Fantasy so interesting a game theory slide here for sure So I'm pretty excited. How are you doing? I'm doing great and I watched a lot of last week's tournament Dustin Johnson had one hell of a Saturday and finishing it off with Sunday to cap off the victory It was a good tournament. It was a fun tournament But as you said this week's a little bit different yet We're going to go exactly where we started last week with Bryson de Chambeau as with somebody that we kept feeling He's gonna get over the hub. He's gonna get over the hub. He's going to win this thing But he's constantly been in the mix. He's helped us out in our lineups We don't expect this weekend to be any different. Yeah, when you look at this field Greg They're kind of two golfers who stand and look like they are a tier above the entire field Those guys are Bryson de Chambeau and Webb Simpson I think to me the decision is do you want to go one? Do you want to go the other or do you want to go both? Personally, I'm probably gonna go both as often as I can but I think if I choose between the two I would go with Bryson de Chambeau number one because I don't think the gap in salary between him and the field is high enough It is like 10,000 or it is $1,000 But it potentially could be even higher dating back even before the COVID-19 layout before we got swole Bryson out there De Chambeau six straight finishes of eighth or eighth or better He's gained at least 2.8 strokes off the tee in all six those events gained at least 2.3 on approach in five of those six So just stupid stupid ball striking out of Bryson de Chambeau and this time the putter has been hot too Which could be hint at some regression coming but Bryson also ranks ninth in putting on Poa and Bencrest over the past 100 rounds According to fantasy national so we can expect the good putting to continue even if he may not be as good as he has been recently For cash games, I'm gonna start things off here with de Chambeau and kind of built in there for tournaments I know Bryson will be popular But I want to try to be overweight on him relative to the field and again pairing you with Webb Simpson Pretty often just because I think that they are kind of a tier above the rest So to me Bryson's number one, but I want to get him in there with Webb as often as I can We know how Bryson has been we know about that strength off the tee in the putter Well, it's been good enough as well clearly ahead of the field along with Webb Simpson Bryson's the guy But you probably want to go with both guys which means Webb and Bryson should build P in your lineup But if you gotta choose one Jim's gonna look Bryson de Chambeau The next higher-priced golfer that Jim wanted to bring up today isn't Webb Simpson But again, he's in that other tier with Bryson. He's Victor Holland was priced at ten thousand nine hundred dollars this week on Fandall Victor Holland. He's been a bit inconsistent. Why do you like in this week at the rocket mortgage? Yeah, I think it's just good relative to the field. I think that's always encouraging in this tier is pretty good, too It's not as good. It's not the same level as de Chambeau and Simpson But you have options here Patrick Reed, Tiro Hatton, Sung J. M I like all those guys But I think that Holland is interesting because the ball striking is just so good Holland has gained at least three point five strokes and approach in each event since the end of the COVID-19 layoff Andy has gained at least one point five off the tee in all three of those events as well When you do stuff like that you gain so many strokes off the tee and on your approach game It gives you a little bit of wiggle room to not be as good around the green and on the green Which is definitely where Holland does struggle Holland six in the field and good drives gained over the past 50 rounds per fantasy National he is second in approach and he didn't finish thirteenth year last year So he does have course knowledge and you know, they've only been here once not a lot of guys have that in this field So it's a weekend field. I am good buying into someone with elite ball striking Holland Is that a ten thousand nine hundred dollars? But I'm also intrigued by Sung J. M at ten eight getting into him after a couple of down events I think that of this good group. I think I'd rank I think I'd rank Holland and Sung J. M the highest but both very worried the inclusions if you decide to go Where they more balanced approach again that ball striking term comes up here with Victor Hoblin Which gives us some ability at least around the green for Victor hoblin to struggle which we've seen happy Sung J. M as you mentioned he hasn't been great over the past few events We look at the type of players that are playing over and participating here this weekend It's not what we have seen over the past couple of weeks Which makes Victor hoblin and so J. M. How do you read to find options here in this price range? And now we get to the middle tier and that's funny because I believe we talked about Lucas Glover last week But he might have been in the cheaper tier last week But Lucas Glover because of that field he jumps up in price this week is priced at ninety eight hundred dollars How come you're going back to Lucas Glover here despite the increase in price tag? Yeah, I think to me it's because the increased salary for Lucas Glover is justified because he added another event With a really good ball strike and we talked about last week why we wanted to buy into Lucas Glover was because his approach numbers Had been really good since the end of the COVID-19 layoff He actually got even better last week at the Traverse He gained seven point three strokes on approach in that event alone That is the most for a Lucas Glover in a single event since 2017, which means he's gonna come back to earth You don't expect a an outlier performance two weeks in a row But he did he is 32nd in good drives gained over the past 50 rounds according to fantasy national He is in the top 30 in approach as well And he's not gonna be a good putter anywhere, but he's at least less bad on poa and bentgrass Then he is number unit So it should be a good week or better week than usual for Lucas Glover from a putting perspective He is ninety hundred dollars another good to hear guys like Adam had winner around here. Doc Redmond It's $10,000. I think you'd buy into those guys Rory Sabatini as well But if I had to pick just one golfer from this tier, it would be Lucas Glover again I want to buy into guys who have Who have skills they can duplicate in a week basis that means looking into good ball strikers Lucas Glover has always been that But he's especially been that the past three events and I would not be shocked if that continues once again this weekend at $9,800 it's all about being able to replicate that form and what Lucas Glover does well is ball striking He has been able to do it over and over again He gave out the stats via fantasy national and if the putter is good enough We talked a lot about that last week. Well Lucas Glover will pay dividends even in this increased price tag at $9,800 he's earned it so Jim's willing to pay it Up next in the middle tier another one a guy that we talked about a lot It's Harold Varner the third is $9,300 again a guy that I'm much used to paying a lot less money for But here this week in these field at $9,300 You're paying up for a guy that you know and the guy you can rely on and hopefully a guy that can replicate what he does Well also we've talked a lot about different tiers that I like For this week Greg. This is not one of them They basically it's just Harold Varner in this tier who I think is intriguing There's essentially no one between $9,600 and about $8,700 who I think is super intriguing Outside of Harold Varner the third at $9,300. He is kind of this unicorn in this tier who really does stand out He's another guy who's been really good with his approach play the past three events in two of those events Varner has gained at least five point seven strokes an approach He did miss a cut in the other one But even that one where he played just two rounds he gained point eight strokes an approach there So he's been good on the second and third shots the entire time since the end of this layoff Those outings have pushed Varner up to sixth in the field and approach over the past 50 rounds according to fantasy National and he's also 16th in good drafts game So again ball striking matters and Varner has been very good in those various categories like lover Varner Better on Poa and Ben grass and he is a Bermuda So I think that he it might at least might be competent as a putter this weekend And if he does that and continues to just do what he's been doing on his second and third shots I think he'll pay off pretty easily at $9,300. Varner has looked really really good recently $9,300 not as big of a salary increase as you might expect And I'm very willing to pay that and it's here That's really devoid of a lot of golfers who jump off the page to me not exactly It's here that you want to live in according to Jim the one unicorn in this section It's Harold Varner the third whose approach has been so so good Throughout these seasons especially after that COVID-19 layoff as Jim mentioned Harold Varner the third a guy you have to get in there Just based on the price tag Now let's go under $9,000 and let's talk about some golfers that well if it wasn't for this kind of field Probably wouldn't go with we start with Sebastian Munoz at $8,600 Why is Munoz on the radar here? It is not because of his finishes recently Greg because Munoz has missed two of the past three cuts since the end of the COVID-19 layoff so things not necessarily going swimmingly there But it does look like Munoz has the components of putting together a really good event this weekend Namely Munoz's approach is still a plus even in the two events where he missed the cut He still gained strokes on his approach He's up to 23rd in the field in approach over the past 50 rounds per fantasy national the short game Not a strong suit, but he hasn't been as bad there as he has been He hasn't been as bad over the larger sample as he has been since the end of the COVID-19 layout So I'm expecting him to be better there than he has been recently Which should lead to a made cut you would assume for this weekend Munoz 83rd over the past 50 rounds around the green He is 47th and putting on Ben grass and power over the past 50 rounds So not a plus but not as big of a negative not a glaring the hole like we see with some other guys in this deal Munoz $8,600 he missed the cut here last year that obviously is not a good thing But it does mean that he has experience at this course and I will certainly take that given that most people have not played here before So I think that Munoz definitely like you said maybe not someone we go to in a bigger field But he's $8,600. He has good ball striking. I think that that's enough for me to buy in at $8,600 for Sebastian Munoz This is what Jim is doing. He's just grasping at straws at this point Sebastian Munoz. He's missed two of his last three cuts missed the cut last year But hey, at least he played this course, right? This is what we're looking at a guy that has not played well as of late I have a little bit of experience and when you need somebody cheap under $9,000 with a group of golfers that is not Exactly star studded you do what you can Sebastian Munoz is what we can do One last golfer that's even cheaper than Munoz is Cheson Hadley at $8,300 I heard the explanation of Munoz. I'm really excited about this one too, Jim Yeah, for Cheson Hadley if you're looking for a winner probably not going to be him He's 171 to win a Fandall sportsbook. Usually we're sticking with guys who are like 100 to win or shorter That ain't Cheson Hadley, but Cheson Hadley I think again, we're looking for good ball strikers and it's here where you're not going to find a whole lot of those and Hadley does do that pretty well He ranks 12th and good drives gained over the past 50 rounds per fantasy national 15th and approach 12th and 15th in those numbers That's going to lead to a lot of birdie opportunities for Cheson Hadley That's kind of all you could ask for in the salary range Hadley Played two events in June. He's gained a combined 6.7 strokes in approach in those two events He has gained a 3.6 off the tee in those events He's just lost almost all those strokes around the green. So basically what you're hoping is that Cheson Hadley Doesn't dunk it, you know, wherever it may be once he gets around the green You're hoping he sticks it on approach because it's probably not going to go well if he is around the green But when the ball striking is that good like we said to Victor Hovland You're giving yourself some leeway in the other department. That's what I want out of Cheson Hadley So I'm willing to roll the dice on his around the tee play around the green play and see what happens $8,300 pretty good salary for a guy who grades out so well off the tee and with his approach and We'll kind of see what happens after after those first and second shots Our goal on those first and second shots get on the green make our lives easier Please Cheson Hadley make it worth our while It's not going to be something that's going to win I think you just make the cut and hang around and um, well not screw up too badly It'll help our fan new line-ups even if we're not going to bet on them over the fan. It was sportsbook Jim we appreciate the time. Good luck this weekend. Yeah, we'll see how this goes Greg fingers crossed We'll see what happens But should be a fun one regardless and a lot of interesting names to consider despite the weekend feel All about the ball striking ability this week at the rocket mortgage You heard it here repeatedly ball striking ball striking ball striking a little punting as well But you saw this. I am Greg. So we'll be back tomorrow with Tom Vecchio talking a little NFL right here on the fan delirium
