 The Florida Swing of the PGA Tour season kicking off this weekend with the Honda Classic at PGA National which is a very, very difficult course based on traditional scores here in an interesting field at the event for this week and a lot of different tweaks, a lot of different names you'll hear throughout this podcast for today versus what we typically talk about based on the way this course sets up. I'm going to break down what that means for PGA DFS, roster construction, and our favorite plays for this week. Welcome on into the Heat Check Fantasy podcast powered by Number Fire. That's right here on the FanDuel Podcast Network and NumberFire.com. My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for NumberFire.com. Joined here as always by Brandon Gedula. He is the managing editor of NumberFire.com. Brandon, we are off to PGA National for this week. How are you doing today? Yeah, I'm good. I was going to say one of the reasons that we're going to be talking about some guys we don't typically talk about is just because guys we typically talk about aren't in the field this week. They all played last week, traveling across the country to open up this Florida swing this week. So, you know, lots to take in that isn't just data based. And so that goes a little bit against what we're looking for generally. So we're going to have a little bit more narrative-esque takes some guys who maybe do well and specifically in Florida in the past. I mean, I like this event because of the scoring. I say a lot, but give me a winning score that's like 10 under and I'm in. But, you know, that's just me. Yeah. And the other reason why it's different than usual is that it's also in the spots where we do use data, we're emphasizing different data than we typically may based on the way this course is broken down in the past. Talk about that in the course breakdown and much more to get you set for some PGA DFS for this weekend in just one second. But first there is still time to qualify for the World Fantasy Basketball Championship scheduled to take place on March 13th in New Orleans, which means you can still qualify for that as well to get in on the action. Enter your best nine player NBA lineup into a WFBBC qualifier and finish in first place. Each finalist VIP package includes a trip for two to New Orleans, two luxury box game tickets, the Hornex Pelicans game on March 11th, VIP entry into a special fan event, and so much more. The live final will be here before you know it's at fanduel.com slash WFBBC today and compete for your chance to party by the bayou. Eligibility restrictions apply. Go to fanduel.com or download the fanduel app for more details. Let's dive in now to the Honda Classic. It is at PGA national and the champion, the champion course. It is 7125 yards in a par 70 so shorter than typical but may not mean what you think it means. There are 144 golfers in the field for this week in the top of 65 plus ties will make the cut after the first two rounds. So again, identifying cut makers will be key for this week given the percentage of golfers make the cut here. Brandon, when you look back at past events at PGA national, the champion course, what stands out to you in terms of differences between this course and what we see elsewhere? You can look at the winning scores in recent years to see what to expect from the top of the leaderboard. The past five winning scores here have been 12 under, 6 under, 9 under, 8 under, and 12 under. But that 12 under last year was by Matt Jones and the runner up Brandon Hagey was 7 under. So I'm kind of looking at like 8 under par mark being the winning score. But also the past five cut lines have been over par, which is you never want your guys flirting with the cut line to be over par. That's almost always devastation. But this week it's not going to be quite the same provided the course plays similar to how it has in the past, which and we've had this course on the rotation since 2007. Now, one thing though, speaking of that, that winning score last year, they played this event in March last year, March 18 was when that kicked off. So about a full month later, they did some stuff to the greens to try to make it a little bit more consistent. So let's say and roll out last year. But if you really are someone who just looks at how guys have fared at a particular course, just keep that in mind. Because it's something that we factor in a little bit, but not to a point that looking at one event is going to change who we're picking this week. So just wanted to throw that out there. But honestly, we have really difficult par threes, which can always be interesting because if you have a par three that everyone's just shooting darts at that's really boring to me. Not that anybody cares, but like if they're difficult, that's fine. Like, you know, sometimes it's okay, like you gotta make a bogey on a par three. That's fun for me to watch watching these guys play a par three like I might play a par three. That's kind of fun. But gaining strokes with approach is actually pretty difficult according to data golf's dashboard of just all core stats and showing where things are difficult where things are easy to gain and overall, like not a whole lot of stats jump out to me like off the page. We can downplay driving this week, driving accuracy specifically, but I'm also just kind of not looking at driver at all. I'm looking more at approach around the green putting we have Bermuda greens this week. If I didn't mention that already and basically being able to get up and down like avoiding bogey for a change as opposed to needing to make birdies and play aggressively and, you know, finish 25 under to have a chance to win. So for me this week, it's going to be a little bit of a different key stats list, which is going to play a part in some guys that we wouldn't normally recommend. But my key stats this week, stroking approach, stroking around the green, stroking putting and bogey avoidance. And I think that the way I interpreted this because I've had a lot of similar conclusions looking into what I look at here is that we're not tossing out ball striking. But what I would say is that it's de-emphasized relative to where it usually is. Would you agree with phrasing it that way? With driving? No, ball striking in general. I wouldn't say all ball striking, but because I'm de-emphasizing driving, I think by default, like, yes. But I'm not looking at this as like, give me the guys who are the best wedge players and potters and kind of overlook approach play. Because again, we got difficult part three. So if you can score well on those part threes, I at least want access to that. So I'm looking more fairway through green. But I guess, again, by default, a little bit lower on ball striking than we typically are. And I think that the way I'm looking at this is I am more accepting of golfers who are not going to excel in the ball striking categories, but I don't want them to be actually bad. But I think that what I like is the golfers who grade well on like a holistic perspective who may not be standouts in the ball striking categories and are thus penalized less by not being standouts here than they typically would be. So not like actively targeting like guys who are just like feasting in the short game, but being more receptive to guys who win that way than I typically would be. So like, you know, thinking of like a Denny McCarthy, Mackenzie Hughes, those kinds of guys where they are good golfers overall and their issues may be less of a detriment this week than they usually are. I think that's kind of the way I'm approaching it here at least. Yeah, there are a lot of names in the mid range. I'm not necessarily getting off of good iron players, good ball strikers in general, among the studs. That's not really what I'm, what I'm doing. But as far as like the mid range guys go, usually what separates one mid range play from the other is one guys were to go with the short game doesn't have the ball striking and vice versa. And we're usually looking more at ball striking courses where you need to get in position for birdies. This isn't quite the case. You just got to get it near the green. You're not going to hit every green, based on how difficult these are got to get up and down a lot. So that's going to put me more, like you said, on the Denny McCarthy's, he's always like a litmus test. It's like a Denny McCarthy test probably for us. Yeah, the McCarthy. It's just called the McCarthy. I think that that's the way we can run about that. And you mentioned that in the studs, you don't want to de-emphasize ball striking there because we don't have to. We can be picky there. And if we are not going to be picky, that could lead us to Sung J.M. We are going to be picky if we can get to Sung J.M. Because Sung J.M. is someone who stands out in literally every department, which is great because he is the highest salary golfer on Fandle for this week. He is a former winner at this event. Let's slide into the past history discussion. Guy has done well at PGA National in the past and effectively I think kicked things off with the guy who in my eyes, the headliner for this week in Sung J.M. What are you seeing with him recently here at PGA National? Yeah, so with Sung J.M. at a salary of 12,000 on Fandle, he's the highest salary golfer. He's also the favorite to win on Fandle Sportsbook 13-1, opened up at 14-1 when I first saw that. So we've actually seen him get back down. It's hard to get back down too much at the top of the field, but we saw that with Sung J. So I think it's fair to say he's going to be a popular play. Again, all the research I've done shows that if you're the highest salary golfer in the betting favorite, which is there's a lot of overlap there usually. You're the most popular play on Fandle. The difference though this week is like, look, we love Sung J.M. on this podcast, but he's not John Rom and he's not Patrick Cantland. That's kind of what we've been having a lot of these past few weeks. And yes, they didn't really have great weeks last week. I get that, but it's always different whenever the highest salary golfer in a field is a true sort of can't miss superstar and someone like Sung J.M. would typically be in the upper 10,000 range in a more solid field. So that being said, that kind of out of the way, Sung J's played here three times. He's finished 51st, then he won and then was eighth last year, giving him two straight top tens, including that when his T8 last year came with poor iron play. He putted really well. So I don't actually know what that means. I mean, I know what that means, but it's, so you went 51st win eighth aided by just putting. So maybe the course fit this week is a little bit overstated. However, I'm still there on Sung J. I don't want to kind of nitpick him for just having a putting heavy T8 last year. I was 33rd at the Genesis. I'm giving him a third straight made cut after finishing T6 and T11 at the farmers in the MX respectively. We talk about this all the time, but Sung J is great on Bermuda. His best results typically come on Bermuda tracks. So this is a good shift in his favor from what he's been playing. He's been playing well again. I'm not trying to nitpick the course history. I at least want to throw that out there. Have some a little bit more detail than just saying, yeah, win in T8 the past two years. He's got this place, you know, figured out, but how are you handling Sung J this week? And what is it? Just frankly, a weak field. Yeah, I think if I'm like hand ranking or like hand tiering guys out, I feel like it's Sung J. Burger while Louie and then maybe Fleetwood Fleetwood is kind of like teetering tier one. But like that top tier isn't very big. And I feel like Sung J, if I'm ranking them out, is the top guy for me in that tier. I think they're like, I think Louie and Burger are up there for a reason. I think that they deserve to be up there. But like, I don't know, not a lot of like great alternatives. So I think that it depends on, not on my read on Sung J's popularity, because I know that he'll be popular. My read on Burger's popularity and West Hayes' popularity. If we get a read that like they won't be that popular, then that's a situation where I'll pivot to them because like, I think they great out really well. And they're guys I'd want to be high on here. But like, if it's, if it's pretty even between those guys, then I'll just go Sung J, because I do think that he is the top guy here. But I'm okay kind of letting what the public wants to do dictate where I go, which is always like the worst answer and the most boring answer. But I think that here, given that, like you said, it's not like a massive mass separation. I think that that is kind of necessary. And I do think that Burger and West Hayes are there at least. Yeah, the two things with Burger and Louie are potential injuries. Burger withdrew from Pebble Beach, but did miss the return to miss the cut at the waste management. Louie withdrew at the RSM in November. Hadn't seen him till the waste management as well, but he was T14 there. So I think it's probably safe to say that they're not super big injury risks with that. I would like Daniel Burger, but I still having a hard time getting on Daniel Burger who went from a withdraw to a missed cut compared to Louie who had a lot of time off returned was T14. Also Louie long term, pretty phenomenal form, even if you account for recency. So I'm going to rank Louie. So, okay, so if I was building a head to head against you, I think Sung Jae is the best process-based play. But the pivot for me is Louie over Burger, but I have no issues with Burger, aside from the fact that he might not be 100% healthy. Yeah, I think that that's fair. I would Louie like I think the seeing him play in Phoenix or Scottsdale, sorry. I know it's a Phoenix open it's in Scottsdale. That kind of for me kind of just like wipes the slate clean in terms of injury. I don't know if it should be like it does, I guess for me. So that's where I'm at with him. That's why I'm high on him and Burger. It's kind of a, if he's here, he seems to be healthy kind of thing. So, you know, and he sounded, he seemed to downplay the injury, but that was, you know, reading from reading to watching to like what he says, et cetera, et cetera. So that's why I'm okay trusting in the larger sample on him. Burger's got two top fives at Honda. Like that's, it's, I don't think some days like a runaway top play. Yeah. Right. Like I think that usually we get again for past weeks, because Cantley has been playing like every, every event. So we've always had Patrick Cantley to contend with. Right. But I mean, you have Burger played at Florida State from, from Florida. I think that that angle is there. I don't think that any three of these guys will be prohibitively popular. Yeah. So it's going to come down to just sort of ranking them. I think I currently rank them like sung J by a tinge, Louis Burger, but I can't go wrong with those three. And I do think it drops off after these three. Okay. I just want that was going to ask next is if you thought that was the top tier. Yeah. I think so. After that, who is it? Neiman in salary. Neiman's above. So, okay. Well, I don't want to stick on just the top four because sung juice, 12,000 walking Neiman coming off of his wins, 11, nine, Burger, 11, eight and Louis, we stays in 11, six and I should probably throw in Brooks Kepke 11, five also the Florida narrative. Brooks scares me this week, but I'm probably not going to get there myself. Yeah. That's kind of where it is every week with Brooks and a non major. So I get that for sure. The one guy tossed out there is like sniffing that tier is Tommy Fleetwood. So let's talk about him because we have not seen Tommy Fleetwood in a DFS player pool since the Zozo back over the fall. So kind of out of sight, out of mind, if you're just following the PGA tour, but the history of PGA national for Fleetwood is noteworthy. He has played here just twice. So it's hard to have know where they form, but that's what happens when you have two top fives. He finished third in 2020, fourth in 2018. Fleetwood gained 13.5 strokes, T degree and one of those and nine in the other. So this was not fueled by putting for Fleetwood. Fleetwood, although he's been off the PGA tour for a while, he's not been like chilling on his couch. He was eighth at the Saudi international, 12th at the Dubai Desert Classic recently. Fleetwood's 11 for the Bermuda splits are not great, but he has shown that's not a huge obstacle at this course previously. So how do you feel about Fleetwood this week at 11 for? I think he'll probably be more popular than he should be. I'm solely due to the fact that he's played so well here and people seem to love Tommy and I get it. Like I like Tommy too, but not as much as everyone else. I think he sort of has this perception of being like a really good ball striker and it's not really what the stats typically say. So maybe that is actually why he plays really well here because it's not specifically about that ball striking like his iron plays good, his driving is good. They're not bad, but he's actually a really good wedge player. You know, if you look at the stats, so I've got nothing against Fleetwood. There are going to be a few other names that I say that about and actually as I go down this salary tier. So right after Brooks and I just named those, those top five, we have Tommy Fleetwood 11 for Shane, Shane Lowry 11 three on Billy Horschel 11 one. And I think you're talking about Horschel somewhat soon. Yeah, in form I am. Okay. So like it's honestly a pretty intriguing top like eight or however many names that is. And I'm not talking about him for him. I don't know what. Oh, I've had him as a player pick. I might change that though because you were reading out some popularity numbers and I might need to change that. I'm not talking about Horschel here. You can. So like I could make the case for that's that that's eight guys. Fleetwood Lowry Horschel after the five that we just mentioned. I could make a case for all of them. And if I think that I'm going to get some of those options at a third of the popularity. That to me is enough of a justification this week. I should have made that case last week with Rahman Cantlay versus the other like major ask field. However. Those guys had been playing. That much better than the other names. I mean, basically what happened last week was exactly what I would be playing for this week, which is that Sung Jay's just fine. Neiman's just fine burgers, maybe just fine. So this is a kind of a non-committal answer, but I think that's the right way to play it this week. And sometimes that's the case. And sometimes you have to say. Look, golf is highly volatile. The cut odds for these guys are pretty low this week. So I'm kind of. I'm good with any of the top eight, honestly. Yeah. I think that that's pretty much where I'm at as well. So let's move down to the lower ranges here. And we prefaced the show by saying, hey, we're talking about guys we don't typically discuss because ball striking may not be as paramount this week as usually is. So here's Lucas Glover at $9,300. A typical stereotypical heat check favorite, 9,300. But it's for a good reason because Glover, despite the fact that that short game matters here, is somehow done well. So talk to me about Lucas Glover overcoming the odds at PGA national. Yeah, we got to talk about your boy. And we might have a pushback on that one. That's actually. Okay. We might have like the highest ratio of like Lucas Glover conversation on this show compared to any other golf show, like for a big like from baseline. That's probably the case. But if you were in on Glover at Honda, it's probably been pretty good for you recently. T-19 last year, cut before that. But T-4, T-17, T-21 at PGA national over the past five years. And the recent results are pretty solid. All things considered. T-35 at the tournament of champions. Fifth at Sony with elite iron play. 33rd at the American Express. Cut at pebble. But then 37th at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. You know, you might want a little bit more than that. But the salary is 9,300. So that opens up a lot this week. It's going to be a range where you're probably in no matter what your lineup construction is, because you're probably not building three superstars because we don't really have that in three like mega values. So 9,300 is going to go a long way in any type of lineup you're building. Now Glover is not a particularly good Bermuda putter, but he's been picking up strokes game T-degree in here. He's had spike weeks with the putting of 3.2 strokes putting in three of the past five events here. So maybe he just has a feel for the greens and can get hot. And honestly, as we see with calling more a cow, when the putting's there, it's a game changer, right? For these guys who are really good T-degree. So I'd rather see some risk with the putting with consistently good T-degree with a chance of having a good putting out week, output in a week. So I think Glover makes a lot of sense at 93. What are your thoughts on your guy this week? I think for the first time in the history of our show, which has been going for like four or five years, whatever, I'm going to say I'm lower on Glover than you because it's not just the putting risk. It's that risk combined with the around the green play. And when you give me two red flags in like two somewhat key categories this week, that's a concern for a course that plays as tough as this one. So I think that like I care more about around the green play and tougher courses in general. Then you added the fact that I'm, you know, not as into ball strikeers this week as usual. That leads me to be a bit wary of Glover given that those are his key strengths, the key reasons I would be on him. So it's not a great range. I'm not saying like, oh, I'm going to rank these, this, this guy above Lucas Glover. But like I also don't view him as a priority. We talked about Denny McCarthy before. Would you do a McCarthy versus Lucas Glover head to head bet? I would not. Wow. Are you on Denny this week? Is that why? I like Denny. I like McKenzie Hughes. I like Ian Poulter. I like I looked at Ian Poulter, the boy I pushed back on when you try to assign him to me. So yeah, I think that I think Poulter works too, but yeah. Okay. I try. I think they're, I think they're better, better overall fits. No, I mean, look, again, we talk about guys with course form. And it doesn't necessarily mean we love them in a week. So that is again, I have nothing against Glover, but I prefer some guys who fit this event a little bit better this week. And one guy who may fit it better. And one guy who I think we like, despite the fact that he has good course history, somehow being viewed as a negative is McKenzie Hughes. So let's talk about McKenzie Hughes, someone I like. I don't want to speak for you, but let's talk about him here. He is similar to what I was talking about at the beginning where he may benefit from a course where, you know, approach play matters a little bit less. This is shown up in his previous trip to PGA National. Hughes back in 2020 finished runner up behind Sung Jam. He did that despite losing 3.3 strokes off the tee. He gained 4.4 in approach, 6.4 around the green and 4.7 putting bananas. Last year, Hughes lost 1.2 strokes ball striking overall, but finished 36. He gained 3.2 around the green in that one. If you look at Hughes' best showings overall around the green, his entire career, two of the eight highest strokes gain numbers have come in his measured rounds here at the Honda. Hughes missed the cut at the Genesis and the Farmers, but between there he finished 16th at Pebble Beach thanks to his really good short game once again. So Hughes is $9,600. He has had some good weeks here in the past, despite his flaws. Does he fit what you're looking for in this event? He sure does. He's got, so my strokes gain numbers account for field strength and recency over the past year. It's a good sample. It's not just like a small sort of sample, but it accounts for more recent rounds, adjusts for field strength. So with that, within this field, Mackenzie Hughes is in the 92nd percentile in combined short games. That's around the green and putting. And even if you factor in approach play, for what I just call fairway through green, he's in the 92nd percentile as well over the past year. So I think he really does fit. He's a good, he can make birdies, but he also is pretty good at avoiding bogies. He's just honestly a pretty good golfer. And I think that whenever we get a chance for someone like Mackenzie Hughes, who should play above baseline, he's not going to be salaried necessarily for that because he went cut, 16th cut, second, as you mentioned, like the up and down, or the second was back in November. So that, you know, but I think we can take advantage of that. And I think, I think there's like just an archetype that I'm kind of keying in on in that mid 9,000 range. Mackenzie Hughes is definitely part of it. Yeah. I was talking before about how there were some golfers who I wanted to target who perform well, despite not being sandups in the ball striking categories. And like that was a Mackenzie Hughes sub tweet, basically. Also, I think Billy Horschel kind of fits in that range where it's like really good overall golfers who may not be penalized as much. So Mackenzie Hughes, Denny McCarthy, Billy Horschel, like if you're going for like an archetype stack, I think that those could be guys, overall golfers who don't have great ball striking make it bumped up this week. I think that that thought process lines up well. There's one I'll be in on this week with Mackenzie Hughes specifically for sure at $9600. Let's slide into the current forum discussion here and talk about some guys who have been golfing or have had no worthy form recently. And you're starting off with a past winner at PGA national in Keith Mitchell at 10-4. So plopping him down here, Mitchell getting some serious buzz this week. Brandon is said buzz justified. I think it is. $10,400 is a really good salary, again, for any type of lineup you're trying to build this week. And I was thinking that Mitchell would sort of go against the grain from this, because again, we don't have, I don't want to say like superstars or I think we do have studs, but not superstars. Maybe that's the right way to put it. But again, like eight names at the top, I think you could justify playing. That could leave if people are rostering two of those names. Keith Mitchell a little bit overlooked, but I don't want to let that happen unless I'm really just playing the game three angle and assume that Keith Mitchell is wildly popular, like trailing only Sung Jae in popularity. But I mean, he enters this week with four top 12 finishes and his past five starts. The lone finish worse than 12 wasn't missed cut at the farmers, but in total, Mitchell has made seven of eight cuts in 2022. And that's relevant that he's trending because he's a former winner here in 2019. However, I wouldn't say that he's got like great form at PGN National because he missed two cuts in the 53rd, the other time that he played this event. But the game is there right now. I thought that Mitchell, and again, I'm not, I didn't think he was going to be just off the radar, but I was thinking he'd be a nice way to get away from the big names, the names at the top. I think he's going to be pretty popular. So where are you landing with Mitchell from just a process based standpoint? And then we can talk about the popularity if we want. Yeah, I think that like from a process based perspective, I get why he's being talked up because the form is really good. He does have that past wins. If you're looking to just like finishes both recently at the event, grades out well there. Also like the off the tee play does still matter. And he's obviously going to be a standout there, leads a field and starts getting off the tee distance does still matter here too, because I think you mentioned this in your court, your stats where like it doesn't really matter if you like this effectively outside of some of the shorter part three. So like that helps too. I would just worry about him if he is going to be popular because he doesn't, he's not as well rounded as kind of like what I'm looking for in that range. So in a vacuum from a process based perspective, like for our head to head, I wouldn't be opposed to Keith Mitchell. I think that he's actually kind of interested in this because like he kind of offsets Sung Jae salary at 12,000. You go down to 10 four for your second guy. That gets you pretty balanced lineup. And I do like that for tournaments. He's going to track to be popular. I'd be okay pivoting off of them then just because like it's not a super well rounded game. And when it's when there are whole, when they're red flags, I'm more receptive to pivoting off them in tournaments because there are more paths to failure there in that situation. Yeah. So I think that Mitchell's just a good sort of like baseline play for head to heads. I'm going to lock them in for our head to head contest this week. And I feel pretty good about that. It's just a matter of how risk averse you want to be in tournaments. Yeah, I think that that makes sense. And like risk. I'm okay with risk in the right situation. So it's not due to risk that I'd fade him in because of risk combined of popularity. Cause I just want guys on the upside and Mitchell very much has that. But if it's coming at the risk or the expense of a high roster rate, that's where it changes the situation for sure. Let's talk about Cameron Young coming off a second at the Genesis, which continues a really good run that he's had dating back to the swing season. Young runner up at the Sanderson's Sanderson farms back in October. Since then he's been cut 29th cut 40th, 20th, 26th, and then runner up again this week. That finish last week was fueled by 4.7 strokes and approach and 5.7 off the T. That's part of the issue. He's spiking based off of like absurd off the T play, which is de-emphasized a bit this week. Again, not totally out, but de-emphasized a bit around the green. Young has lost at least a stroke in for his past five events, four of his five events in January. The putting has been really nice so far. So there are things to like, I'm curious if it might be a situation where we like log Young in our brain and come back to him at a spot where we are, you know, stereotypically emphasizing Paul striking as we typically do here on the show. So that's kind of where I'm at right now. Where are you at in Cameron Young in the 10,000 range? I think he'll be more popular. I think that having his salary so close to Mitchell's, they might cannibalize each other a little bit. I mean, Young obviously was all over the broadcast this weekend. And for a while, like the, I mean, the story was walking name and beating everyone by like four or five for most of the weekend. But like the subplot there was like, if not, I was thinking like the, like the astronaut me or the meme and like the court, I don't know what the, I don't know what the context is, but it's like people behind each other with like guns. The guy shooting the guy in space. Well, there's that one, but like there's one like, it looks like it's in like a church or a courtroom or something, but You said an astronaut. Well, that was, they're two different ones. I think the second one is better. But anyway, it's like scaling, but it was like the, the meme caption would have been like Cameron Young beating Riviera's field by two, but then you scale back and it's like walking name and beating Cam Young by like three. Like the storyline could very well could have been that like Cameron Young blew everyone away. If it wasn't for a meme and playing that much better. That was going to sign you up for a course on memes. We're going to, we're going to arrange with the astronaut. I mean, like trying to guard a conspiracy theory kind of thing. Like Russell, hey, like Russell Westbrook said, I don't know what memes is. Bryce Harper's like, I don't want to be made into a meme. So like, at least he's got that. At least he pronounced it correctly. Yeah. Okay. So point being, I think that I'm out on Cam Young because of just, just popularity. I mean, he's putted pretty well the past two weeks for the better finishes. I know that the ball striking is there. Like the iron play. I don't know if the off the team numbers will matter nearly as much, but that dude just wails on it. So I think I'm out on young for this week. Hope he's a little bit more popular than he should be. Maybe like the, the energy spent again, like for demons in this field too. Like he's guys got to go cross country play, you know, a different, just a, like a pretty different setup. I guess it's still difficult, but like, I think I'm just kind of out on, on those two guys specifically. Not that, not that I'm saying like, let's fade walking demon because he's overrated, but coming off of like that type of result, trying to fend off, calling more Cal and all those guys, probably just not down in on either of them. We'd never slander walking even never that that wouldn't happen. We would never do that. So I agree that you were like, it's situation where I'm okay being lower on him. Young, I think again, it's kind of like a noting in my mind that I want to buy back in at a spot where I care less about around the green play. That does seem to be a pretty big negative for him. So we're caring about around a green, around the green play. Let's talk about Brendan Todd who checks in at $9,000. Todd is again, not the typical guy we target, but he's in the McCarthy mold. He passes the McCarthy test. What are you seeing with him here at $9,000? So the recent form isn't actually going to jump off the page. Despite talking about him in the recent form section, but if you want value golfers with like flawless current form, you're kind of out of luck this week because the field's not particularly good. Just isn't. And if anyone has recent form of anything to note, they're going to be salaried a little bit higher than $9,000, which is where Brendan Todd is. So with that caveat, I think he's got good, justifiable current form. In 2022, he's finished 48th at the Sony Open. He missed the cut at the American Express with 16th at Pebble Beach and then 26th at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. So two straight top 26 finishes, not top 25s, but I think we can probably make the concession there. But that's still a pretty good, you know, hyper recent return for someone whose salary is 9,000 and fairway through green. I've taught ranked 16th in the field over the past year with my adjustments. It's also an S tier Bermuda putter. I don't know memes, but I know some gaming lingo for sure. But none of this has actually led to good form at Honda despite the idea that he should play well here. So any interest in Todd this week while we're looking for the McCarthy mold. It's like looking for that, but also like his, he's in a salary range surrounded by a lot of dudes I don't want to use. So like, I think that it's like survival for Brendan Todd and like he survives whereas a lot of dudes don't. So like by process of elimination, I, I'm going to like him. It was I like actively seeking him out when I started to do like research this week. No. Am I receptive to him because of a lot of the stuff we've discussed and because of a lot of guys in his range. Yes. So I think that when you look at, when you actually consider the guys around him, that's probably a pretty good play. I, I'm probably going to sound less enthusiastic because like it's not the kind of guy I typically want to go to. But like given there's nobody down there I really want to go to outside of like a couple of guys we'll talk about later on in player picks. And the fact that like Todd does fit what I'm looking for. I mean, I'm in. Even if I'm not like sounding enthusiastic, I probably will be enthusiastic. You know, like my enthusiasm to player roster rate ratio would probably kind of jacked here. We're like, I'll use him more than you would think based on how enthusiastic I sound about him just because like there's no one else. Yeah. That's a, I mean, I don't want to say that's the case for all golfers this week, but it's not that far off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I think we like McCarthy fine. I like McKenzie Hughes fine. I like Ian Polter fine. They're not like, are you enthusiastic to use any of them? Probably not. I'm not champion at the bit to play those guys. So, you know, you know phrases as well because people say chomping a lot. I said chomping a lot until you correct me. So, you know phrases and you know gaining terms if you don't know your main days quite yet. Let's have a Brian Harmon. It is a $10,100 and the ball striking not what it was, you know, like the past couple years, but the short game is still solid. And the form seems to be trending back up for Harmon right now. He started the 2022 season with a 48th to Sony Open. After that, he was third at the American Express. He gained 4.6 strokes and approach there across the two, the, the measured rounds of that event at the Waste Management. We saw Harmon gain 8.4 strokes T Finish 14th there Harman ranks 14th in strokes game around the green. He is 11th in Bermuda putting so we have We have Keith Mitchell were above meted for Harman is 10-1 is Harman a guy you'll be considering this week when you're in that range or no I think that I have enough names around there that I'm probably not gonna get to Harman I think I can be a little bit more nitpicky with if I can go up to Christian Bazaiden Hote 10-5 he's a got a good short game Keith Mitchell obviously Jonathan Vegas despite not fitting here at all. I think is intriguing. Yeah, I'm just because of What he can do T-degree? Which can't can separate him it can matter And he's just a really good golfer Relative to that salary right now. So I think I'd be there. I'm into a Pereira 9900 as well. So I think there's enough names above Harman for me not to get there But not really someone I would I would talk you out of either. Well, I think that with Harman He's like kind of similar to what you get from Mackenzie. He's Danny McCarty except at a higher salary So if I were gonna like go after he has a little bit more upside in his ball in his approach play I guess I guess like You're kind of getting the same thing for a lower salary, so I'd probably rather just go to them Then go to him. So I think we're on the same page there where Not as into Harman. Now the one thing that could change that would be if I were to go with a hyper balanced approach Let's dive into the bookmaker odds here and have a discussion about roster construction For this week is because things are pretty flat over at Fandall Sportsbook Sung JM is a favorite He's 13 to one Daniel Berger and walking Neiman are 16 to one got three golfers of 20 to one including Brooks Kepke Louis West Hayes and Tommy Fleetwood Billy Horschel is 21 to one Shane Lowry 22 to one Then there is another dip down To the defending champ Matt Jones at 29 to one Alexander Noran Matt Jones Matt Jones is that we're going I know that mean Alexander know it Noran is 31 to one and Keith Mitchell wrap of the top group at 33 to one so I think the key takeaway from these odds is not like anyone standing out But it's more that bookmakers are expecting Parity and uncertainty and there's no real standout here based on the odds How does that influence your approach to roster construction for this week? So you can either like take a stand and say because if you look back at past winners here, it's sort of either been like bigger names who would have been 30 to one or shorter Or some guys who have been like 70 80 and longer Kind of overlooking the mid-tier which goes against sort of what we're saying but I Do you think that we've had some sort of bigger names because you're never gonna get Like a field where everyone just starts at 35 to one or anything And I'm not saying none of these golfers deserve to be 13 or 16 to one But based on my model like a Sunjay a walking name and they're overvalued So maybe they shouldn't quite be as short as they are So I think it's not quite the same situation as we've had in years past in Honda fields, but that's just how I'm reading it So I do think that I'll get a little bit more balanced almost to the point that I would consider Not necessarily starting my lineup with either Sunjay Berger or Louie But I also I'm not gonna start up with Keith Mitchell at 10 for and say I'm just playing six golfers between 95 and 10 I don't think I'd go that route because I think at the very least Shane Lauer isn't very intriguing Billy Horschel is intriguing again. I think Fleetwood's a little bit too chalky but Realistically probably one of those top eight and then a little bit more balance from there Unless I really fall in love with some values or tinker around and see What the low 9,000 upper eights really can do for a lineup Yeah, I think that the reason we have this discussion is because What are you saying when you jam in two super high salary guys? You are saying I think these two golfers will be the Can't miss golfers of the week. I don't know if there are any can't miss golfers this week So I can go with like some J.M. I can go Danny Berger I can go a Louis West Asian but Jamming in two of those guys to me says that these guys are definitively tears above the rest of the pack because the Downsides you're taking on with salary on them. I don't think that's necessarily true. So to me. I do think it's situation where I want to Maybe start with one of them and then dip down. That's why Keith Mitchell is pretty attractive. That's why like I Was thinking pretty hard about him earlier on is because getting down to 10 for for that second golfer I'm not really that opposed to that playing things this week. I think the Alexander Noren at 10-7 is also Interesting from that perspective is eight and how it is 10-5. I think that all of those guys are viable So I think that to me my default build for this week will be one of those top guys and then Dipping down to Horschel at 11-1 or lower for my second golfer and even Horschel's kind of stretching it a little bit But I think that he himself grades that well enough to make that work for me personally So that's kind of where I'm after this week is I think the balance is key because they're just fewer campus guys in this field Yeah, and what this one sort of comes down to is waiting the mid 9,000 range So the Ian polter Danny McCarthy Mackenzie Hughes versus similar types of players at lower salaries like a Charles Howell Brendan Todd Zach Johnson those types I Have a pretty substantial gap between the mid 9,000 and the upper eight like and nine So I think that that's enough for me To weight up someone that Keith Mitchell even if I have one fewer of the top eight Because I do think that at a certain point I can convince myself that like Brendan Todd's in the same like tear as Like a Mackenzie Hughes, but it's really not the case So I think I want to make sure that I'm not selling myself too short with the win upside For this week. I agree through there. Okay. You talked about Horschel Let's talk about guys whose odds have shifted since things opened yesterday Let's talk about the most noteworthy shifts in terms of the betting odds What have you seen Horschel being one of those guys was shortened in this time? Yes, I mentioned this already, but Sung Jae in from 14 to 13, which isn't a massive move But it is I think relevant because he was already the favorite and that shortened even a little bit more So people clearly betting on Sung Jae this week Billy Horschel though was 27. He's not 21 Your boy Brian Harman from 45 to 37. So maybe another another reason for me not necessarily to get to Harman for this week Our collective guy Aaron wise 50 to 46 Don't think it's an Aaron wise week Eventually he's gonna win and we're not gonna be there and I make the Tom Hoagie thing all over again It's gonna be the Neiman thing all over again Scotty Schaeffler all over again I just wanted to run. I wanted different archetype. Of course to go to Aaron wise. Yeah kind of a rough be there for Rough week for a lot of my dead outright tickets on guys who ended up winning as it wasn't there Which I mean, I'm sure it's the case for everyone But yeah, that's always did you bet the corn fairy tour like so some of your referencing young honon Did you bet the corn fairy tour last week? I'm not not last week I just didn't get around to it. I was a little bit more focused like you're not like Oh, I was betting that event and I didn't bet on Ben on to get back that that would be less negative on him long-term That would have hurt worse. Yeah Minor consolation. Yeah CT Pawn it was 70. He's not 55 k. H. Lee Actually lengthen from 65 to 70 Sam Ryder ace 190 and then Adams Fenson 150 to 100 CT Pawn is not really someone who like popped for me But he's in that same tier from a side perspective as Mackenzie Hughes. He's right there with Ian polter Pawn is Pretty good ball striker, but also good around the green. The issue is the putting Does he do anything to really draw you in? Not enough, especially if his win odds are getting bet down. Yeah, I'm probably just not quite there myself Okay, so which lower salary golfers about to stand out to you Um, so if you're someone who like just sort of pulls up win odds and salaries and in compares It's not the worst week. If you're looking for value plays at 9,000 or below. We have Martin Kimer at 65 to 1 Brennan steel Aaron Aaron Ray Aaron Rye I was He's right. I know it just it it bothers. You just see it. You see with your eyes. You're like, oh, man Yeah 70 It's They make it they don't make it as easy as they should uh for pronunciation on the pga tour Some guys have the pronunciation guides, but if they don't Sorry to find Uh, brennan Todd charles howl lucas herbert sepp straca all 80 to 1 zack johnson camilo vegegas former winner here sam rider Pardrague herrington 90 to 1 and then dylan fratelli chad ramie hudson swafford henrik stenson davis riley and adams fenson all 100 to 1 Does vegas do anything for you because I looked into him when I was writing my player picks. I couldn't like Fully talk myself into it, but I also can't fully talk myself into anybody. So I thought he was at least interesting. Uh, what about for you? So he's uh, 43rd in salary 33rd in my combo model. So there's a little bit of leverage there Probably not there myself, but What what his strengths really are are like irons and wedges. It falls off In the t-box and on the greens I don't think that he's the worst player at 88 But I think you know there are better plays as well in that in that range And we'll talk about some of those better plays and a bit but first let's talk about some weather for this weekend Wind speeds will be around eight miles per hour for the early wave on thursday Before getting up to 13 miles per hour and staying there for the afternoon So higher winds in the afternoon Friday a bit reversed where wind speeds may actually decrease a bit throughout the day. So There does seem to be An advantage for those teeing off early thursday I think like the aggregate wind split will be like five to six miles per hour, which is actually kind of high It's not a situation where like you want to stack t times But I think that like factoring in if a golfer is teeing off earlier thursday is okay for this week I don't typically get there, but I think for this week. It's fine bumping up slightly those Teeing off earlier on thursday wind is a bit lower over the weekend So I don't think we need to look look at wind splits But more so maybe bumping up those teeing off earlier in the day on thursday Now let's dive in to our player picks here for the honda classic based on the salaries at fan duel dot com Brandon who are you turning in the upper range on fan duel for this week? I'm gonna go with louis. Um, I think I'm gonna settle there I'm feeling pretty good. I like song jay as a process player, but I think louis we season is uh And I don't think this but my model has uh him as the best long-term golfer in this field We saw the t-14 at the phoenix open that Has me assuming that he's feeling good. Also his quotes were basically like I didn't do anything Between november and playing there like and he's just the kind of guy who doesn't really Like that's kind of him. So it feels like he's in his own doing his own thing So we should ostensibly believe that he's healthy and good to go Positive bermuda putter leads the field and strokes game fairway through green in in my model I think he's the best play Outside of some different process play and I'll just take that leverage too that I get on him For tournaments. Yeah, uh for cash games. I do want to go sung jm. So he's my top player pick here I'm fine pivoting in tournaments, especially if it's louis like if louis ones have gone overlooked cool I'll happily pivot there. I think louis is on par with sung jay for this week, but it's mainly just like Sung jay checks the boxes I want he ranks seventh around the green 18th in bermuda putting according to fantasy national But he's also fifth and stretching off the t in 15th and approach so you can get the all-roundedness at the top and you're not going to find that for Many guys after the top three or so Sung jay has been top 11 in five out of nine events since the new season started. He Has done it via gaining strokes Basically every different way So it should be a volatile event, but I love what he offers up top So thank you for cash games for me It starts with sung jay and then dipping down quite a bit for my second guy But I do think for cash games. I go sung jay over louis for tournaments I most likely based on the betting odds based on salaries I'll most likely be higher on louis for tournaments After considering those things let's move down to the other guys here in the high side range Who do you like there besides these top top couple? I like Keith Mitchell. Um, if I go with a Mitchell louis start for my other four golfers I'm at 95 even. I like that a lot It's going to get me a lot of those names that we're talking about who fit from an archetype standpoint Mitchell kind of already laid out the case for him But former winner here just with not great form and the other results, but golfing well We know he can gain strokes off the tee, which again isn't a key stat However, it's not a bad thing to gain strokes off the tee. It's not it never works that way It's good to be good at everything It's good to be good around the green even if it's not a key stat So I don't want to overthink it and say hey, he's too good of a driver to succeed here It's kind of silly. I mean he's golfing really well with the seven of amy cuts this season Have nothing really against Mitchell aside from potentially Just being worried about the popularity. Yeah, I think the Mitchell to me at 10 four makes a lot of sense Be fully fine going there. I initially Billy Horschel is my second player pick But I think the more I think about salary. I'm okay jumping down a bit more. So I like Horschel And we'll be there. But I also want to talk about Alexander Noran at 10 seven Noran is a guy who is not a lead with the ball striking, but he's also not bad He's also been a bit better recently in that department because he's gained At least somewhat on approach and four straight events all events. He's been to since january 1st Miss the cut at the annex but like was good and is measured around there Uh, but the farmers 1.2 an approach 1.3 at the phoenix open, uh, and then 3.5 at the genesis So this past week really good in that department and noran is very good with a short game He is a 15th around the green the past 60 rounds 18th in for me to putting the past 100 rounds so he's got Okay ball striking really good short game He's 10 7 I think I like noran this week And i'm kind of okay taking the savings down from horschel or pivoting off of mitchell with noran But what are your thoughts now Alexander noran for this week? Yeah, I don't I don't mind him by any means he's got The right type of game if you take driver out of the equation I have been the 96 96 percentile fairway through green Not a whole lot of opportunities game, which is a fantasy national calm staff It's basically your birdie chances despite that. He does make birdies because he's got a really good short game Um, but really good, uh bogey avoidance numbers 88th percentile. So he fits. I think christian bazadenhote fits You don't want to throw out all of your win equity Um, whenever you're building around golfers in the 10 000 range, however I have louis most likely to win here at 5.6 percent burgers 5.2 sungies 4.0 Um, these guys aren't that far behind and if you can get multiple golfers in this range I think that's appealing. So i'm not gonna talk yet of noran But I I do want to make it clear that I think she and lauri is a great tournament pivot because he's been golfing really well overseas And I don't think people will quite notice that as much as they should and he was golfing well Over the summer too. So I think that that is noteworthy for sure. Let's move down to the mid-range Who is standing out to you in like the nine-ish thousand range on fan duel? Ian polter You know if we're downplaying that driving it fits it. It's good for polter In a field that's weak That also just sort of bumps up polter because he's a good golfer But he's not what he used to be or anything and that's that's fine But uh, you know, he's got some mixed results both recently and at pga national So it's not a can't miss play, but if you're really looking for the right fit If the assumption is that this course plays like it historically has He's gonna fit 97th percentile In stroking fairway through a green for me Yeah, I think that polter is probably number two for me in this range behind the kenzie hues. Mackenzie hues is my Top guy here. He's shown upside even in events where like we care a lot about ball striking We don't care quite at least I don't care quite as much as uh for this week because they typically would Hughes I know I'm trying not to like no, I like I like the up and down inflection that you went back to the high pitched after you clarified and like your normal Yeah, I don't want to like, you know, you got to keep it keep it straight, you know You gotta keep the vocal variety in there. So you don't get too bored. Um, is there uh, listen to the podcast here I actually uh, I get feedback a lot that I should uh inflect a little bit less I'm sure you do See if we had two like psychos on the podcast, it wouldn't work out very well We need that that balance that sweet and sour thought like, you know, we gotta keep it keep a mix there for sure Uh, but hues top os the zozo at the rsm since the start of the swing season 16th at pebble beach. Obviously some mist cuts in there too. I'm not trying to like ignore those But again should be better fit for this course 7th and data golf's true strokes gained over the past six months Should be an event that penalizes him less for his shortcomings. So I like the kenzie hues and it seems like you do as well Yeah, uh, he's my second here But I would probably if I was looking at uh, 9600 left for my final golfer. I'd go I'd go hues over polter So I would make that clear. Okay. Um Did miss the cut at the genesis last week But this is very different. Uh, just in terms of field quality and mckenzie hues like You can look at keys. That's all you want. But at a certain point some golfers are just really good Even if they don't gain strokes the way that you typically want them to um, he's just a he's a good golfer for Like the expectations of what mckenzie hues should sort of be So I like that a lot of the same again just we talked about the archetype of the short game mattering I'm really good bermuda splits really good short game For top 25s and 8 starts this season as well Yeah, we we've talked about this in the past but like When you're talking about course archetypes you're making tweaks. You are not throwing everything out and When we're looking at overall good play Hues grades out well That's that's kind of the thing here in like the tweaks actually this week may benefit him So I think that those two things lining up are good for him and also good for danie mccarthy My second mid-range play mccarthy that the guy gets bumped up at a spot where short game matters more 16th in the field around the green Leads the field in bermuda putting or the past 100 rounds according to fantasy national mccarthy Use that short game to finish third in this event last year Demons to cut each previous year. So, you know, there's that too But mccarthy's four mentoring this year is actually much better than it was last year when he finished third He has been top 20 in six out of 11 events since the start of the swing season with a pair of top 10s I like that a lot for nine four. I would also say Hypothetically from building a lineup that I was building while you were talking before because I do What you're saying about mccarthy hues again shocker that listen. Yeah hypothetically if I had Just 92 left and didn't want to renegotiate to get it mccarthy. I am very okay with kyounghoon lee Being the final guy in my lineup at 9200 dollars Not quite the same archetype we've been targeting, but I think he's a good overall golfer. So kh lee another guy I'd be okay with in this mid-range at 9200 dollars I think he's a rarity though because the low 9000 range kind of sucks He's kind of like the one exception. I would say at least for me personally Yeah, and um Just very easy to root for kh lee. So i'm good with that very on board Let's move down to the value range here. Who are you targeting in the 8 000 range? This should tell you everything you need to know about Uh, the field and the setup, but charles howl the third 8900 and he's by far the best plan to sub 9 000 range 86 percent high on t-degree Over the past year for me more of a bogey of wooder than a birdie maker And that's what i'm looking for this week Some of the best form honestly at pga national but hasn't played here a lot recently So I think maybe he'll go a little bit overlooked in that regard And howl is probably going to be The lowest I go in a lot of lineups I don't want to be living too too much in the 8 000 range with a ton Of golfers per lineup Yeah, I actually charles howl the third is my top value play as well and He's one of the few guys where you can get like a good aspect of ball striking While not sacrificing short game down here because he's actually pretty good off the tee Howl ranks I think sixth in stroking off the tee Yes, six and stroking off the tee the past 50 rounds Ninth around the green 24th and Bermuda putting so like Actually kind of good off the tee which I never think of charles howl the third has been for some reason But he just is um, but he's got good short game to approach play is not great for sure, but He's not typically a massive negative in that department at least And he's been a bit less rough recently So I think he offers enough here to be a really good play $8,900 So charles howl the third the top value play for both of us. Who else is standing out to you down here? Zach johnson 88 I could go as low as steward sink at 83, but his form's kind of falling off, but zj actually leads In stroking fairway through green for me among those below 9 000. So That's a bit of a bump for him. I was t8 here last year It's got two straight made cuts with the t14 in there. Good Bermuda putter great Bermuda putter. I should say So if I'm really making that That argument if I'm if I really change my tune and say I'm going to play howl zj and Todd so that I can try to get three of the you know top 12 guys Zj is part of that but outside of that I think I prefer howl enough that I wouldn't actually get to zj and like a in a base level lineup For sure. Yeah, I think that Zach johnson also a guy I looked into for this. I looked into a lot of guys but I think that johnson does work too. So I'm okay with him 88 One other approach I might take for this week in order to avoid The very bad low 9 000 range is taking one golfer is a little bit lower salary than the 8 000 range In order to get back up into the high 9 000 rock and that guy to me is patrick rogers He has missed three straight cuts Generally been pretty bad ever since the fourth at the burruta back in october. So There's that but He's $8,300 could help me get to zj without being you know hyper without being crazy balanced without uh, You're getting crazy in balance. I should say Rogers even when you include those bad events 18th off the t 34 surround The green twelfth and bermuda putting the approach is not great But the past two weeks he has gained there in two rounds before making the cuts So At least he's not missing the cut because it is his approach play. He could keep missing cuts But at least there's a path to a good showing here. So I actually think rogers is okay And I think this approach of like dipping down for one like Bigger value and then going elsewhere the other guys is is intriguing for me at least What about you wait about some patrick rogers or that that that roster construction in general? so um My helper on numberfire.com which is a website Um, I have heard of it actually Uh, I have others to consider in this range. Uh, patrick rogers is one of them 83 and also stewards in because I alluded to both they're both 83 I think that that fits but it's not a week where i'm gonna play both of them or look in the 7 000 range Just don't feel like I need to do that this week But I I like the idea of just the one however, I personally don't anticipate getting there because There's enough to worry about with rogers that I would rather cap my head to head At 89 Charles how there's plenty to worry about don't you worry? I think that is very accurate for sure But I think that that's another approach for this week if I want to get to harshal And not live in that low 9 000 I do I think that rogers may be the best route for doing so Okay, let's finish up here with our win picks for this week based on the current outright odds over at fan dual sports book I know one of mine. It's gonna be louis at 20 to 1 Was your were you gonna take him? Yeah, you can take him too. That's fine. I know we we doubled up on camp lake a weeks ago How'd that work? I think louis the best bet though in the field relative dodge right now Yeah, my model doesn't have a whole lot of value on a lot of these guys, but uh, louis louis the one Okay, well, I'm taking him so you can take him too if you want, but I'm gonna have I have to because there's not a whole lot else After that it's much more. I'll say it's much more of a top 10 week for me than it is outrides It might not be a top 10 week You there though um Okay, do you have a preference on your second person or no? Um, I'd probably jump down to Uh, Mackenzie Hughes at 50 Okay I thought about that too. I think that's where the value is Uh-huh I should play it safer for the context of what we're doing here But I will uh I'll stick with Mackenzie Hughes at 50 to 1. Okay. So you Mackenzie Hughes and louis west asin I have louis west asin and I figured if I let into it. I might say something and decide It didn't work. Oh I looked at Hughes too. I'm not gonna take him. But like I looked at him. So I know who you're gonna. I know who you're gonna settle on I don't I do I'm unhinged. I'm unpredictable. I'm gonna write this one in Okay, okay. Okay. I'm curious what you think I'm gonna go with I actually don't know who you think I'm gonna go with Because shame his power isn't in the field. So I'm confused what like My uh, my go-to is here. Uh I looked at denny mccarthy. He's 55. I don't want that. I think that's a little too short I'm actually going shame lauri at 22 to 1 Okay What did you have? No, we're in at 31 Oh, that's fair It's a fair assumption on your part. I'm not going there though. I think that I think lauri Because he gets me good around the green and approach play And like not restrictive odds. So I think that that actually is pretty fun. So I'm going to go with lauri and west hasen you have West hasen and Hughes as our win picks for this week That is all that we have here for this Honda classic pga dfs podcast brandon Any final thoughts for you for the good people before they go off to fill out their linos?
