- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, all systems going clear the lift. We are live
- 0:36Speaker 1: and we are early.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I know there's still a ton of guys on the
- 0:38Speaker 2: golf course, but don't believe they're going to finish. Have
- 0:41Speaker 2: to hop on early today anyway. Going to talk through
- 0:44Speaker 2: round one of the lero check is open, talk a
- 0:46Speaker 2: little bit about round two, try to predict the future
- 0:50Speaker 2: in showdown like we always do. So I'm not gonna
- 0:53Speaker 2: waste any time. Let's cut to the chase. Let's see
- 0:55Speaker 2: who did what in the morning wave, how the PM
- 0:58Speaker 2: wave is starting out so far, and see if we
- 1:00Speaker 2: could find some golfers who fit the bill we are
- 1:03Speaker 2: looking for. So far, so round one of the tea
- 1:06Speaker 2: of the Lerootech's Open, we saw Tony Finow, Davis Thompson
- 1:10Speaker 2: shoot rounds of sixty six and then a few guys
- 1:12Speaker 2: shot shoot sixty seven. Sam Royder, Willie Z, Tommy Fleetwood,
- 1:16Speaker 2: and Maverick McNeil, Maverick Neely. All of them did it
- 1:19Speaker 2: in fairly different ways. The one constant of today was
- 1:25Speaker 2: fairways were not important. I saw some stuff online ahead
- 1:28Speaker 2: of the of the golf tournament that Ruff's really up
- 1:31Speaker 2: this year faraway is gonna be massively important, that's not
- 1:34Speaker 2: seemingly true. Like looking at this go down sort by
- 1:37Speaker 2: driving accuracy of the guys who shot the rounds of
- 1:39Speaker 2: the day, no one's minting fairways. Guys are doing it
- 1:42Speaker 2: with good short games and really nice to proch rounds.
- 1:45Speaker 2: So that's a little bit of foreshadowing of what we're
- 1:47Speaker 2: gonna look for in terms of stats for later. But
- 1:50Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting. The driving accuracy is something
- 1:54Speaker 2: that I thought was gonna be more important going into
- 1:56Speaker 2: the week. I probably talked about earlier in the week,
- 1:58Speaker 2: but I guess that that's the that's the Boots magic.
- 2:01Speaker 2: If I was out there, I probably would have been
- 2:03Speaker 2: able to realize that, guys, we could bomb it out here.
- 2:05Speaker 2: But we still got round two, three four showdown to
- 2:08Speaker 2: make some Hey, hopefully guys are still holding onto that
- 2:10Speaker 2: driving accuracy. Obviously we'll see how the rest of the
- 2:12Speaker 2: round plays out. But looking at this round one scoring,
- 2:15Speaker 2: Tony Fenw did it with a fairly well rounding, well
- 2:18Speaker 2: rounded approach, but it was a national short game display.
- 2:21Speaker 2: These these are gonna switch up stat wise, and because
- 2:24Speaker 2: there's still a ton of guys in the golf course,
- 2:25Speaker 2: but you can tell a good a good amount from
- 2:28Speaker 2: just an early wave. He was twelfth on approach forty sorry,
- 2:31Speaker 2: twelfth off the tea fortyeth on approach.
- 2:32Speaker 1: But look at the short game.
- 2:33Speaker 2: This is not really sustainable Tony feinw profile that I
- 2:37Speaker 2: like to see. I'm like this, I like to see
- 2:38Speaker 2: the short game flash from but it was kind of
- 2:40Speaker 2: a unique one round, one off profile from Tony feinw. Uh.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Davis Thompson and Rolls.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Al Torres were super well, super well rounded, but with
- 2:50Speaker 2: great approach.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Tommy was driver.
- 2:53Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Tommy was approach and putter, a nice little
- 2:56Speaker 2: combination from him.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Ryder hard approach, hard approach from.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Sam Ryder, and then Maverick Reneely was all putter, which
- 3:04Speaker 2: kind of checks out. I haven't really looked at David, Sorry,
- 3:06Speaker 2: Crystal Lamprick. It has to be driving distance, has to
- 3:09Speaker 2: be driving distance. Let's look driving distance, okay, third and
- 3:14Speaker 2: driving distance losing on approach driving distance.
- 3:16Speaker 1: In short, this is the driver putter profile.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Not really the TPC San Antonio profile we're looking for,
- 3:23Speaker 2: But I do think driving distance paired with good approach
- 3:28Speaker 2: play is going to come to fruition over the next
- 3:31Speaker 2: three days of golf at least looking soon. So let's
- 3:34Speaker 2: look at the weather for tomorrow, because we very well
- 3:37Speaker 2: might have a delay again tomorrow morning.
- 3:38Speaker 1: We got some lightning in the forecast nine to ten am.
- 3:41Speaker 2: If there's a ton of guys still on the golf
- 3:42Speaker 2: course by the time they call play tomorrow, there probably
- 3:45Speaker 2: won't be a showdown show. Just letting you guys know
- 3:48Speaker 2: that now, and then look at Saturday too. I mean,
- 3:50Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about that right now, but
- 3:52Speaker 2: uh oh boy, buckle up in San Antonio. I would
- 3:55Speaker 2: have gotten out of there if I had wanted to
- 3:56Speaker 2: get to Augusta. But I mean, that's just me. I'm
- 3:59Speaker 2: scared of weather. Nonetheless, we saw a very similar wind profile.
- 4:06Speaker 2: It's gonna be more drastic tomorrow, but very similar style
- 4:09Speaker 2: of golf that should come to ruistion tomorrow. I do
- 4:12Speaker 2: think this is going to lead to all this wind
- 4:16Speaker 2: driving distance plus a little bit more short game. I
- 4:18Speaker 2: was lower on short game, but with the weather, the
- 4:20Speaker 2: weather dictates so much in golf, and driving distance is
- 4:23Speaker 2: gonna be key. Get less club in hands, whether you
- 4:26Speaker 2: hit the green or not. Scoring is not gonna be
- 4:28Speaker 2: crazy easy tomorrow unless unless this this weather from the
- 4:32Speaker 2: morning really cools off like it did a little bit
- 4:34Speaker 2: in the early afternoon today and guys were able to
- 4:36Speaker 2: score on those soft greens. The greens are gonna be soft,
- 4:38Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go driving distance and kind of a
- 4:41Speaker 2: short game profile for tomorrow. So that's what I'm gonna
- 4:44Speaker 2: be looking at. Looking at the scoring so far, it's
- 4:48Speaker 2: already showing that the AM is gonna play easier, and
- 4:51Speaker 2: it's gonna play easier.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I don't know this.
- 4:53Speaker 2: This data is very Guys have just went out over
- 4:55Speaker 2: the last hour, so I don't want to really take
- 4:57Speaker 2: too much in that in that zero point nine to
- 4:59Speaker 2: seven strokes under part for the PM wave, but I
- 5:03Speaker 2: do expect the AM wave to play a little bit easier.
- 5:06Speaker 2: It's looking windy out there right now, so I think
- 5:09Speaker 2: it's gonna be more of that again tomorrow because look
- 5:11Speaker 2: at this wind it is.
- 5:13Speaker 1: It is fairly the same all day.
- 5:16Speaker 2: But if they're getting a delay, a little bit of
- 5:18Speaker 2: a delay, then they should they should be able to
- 5:21Speaker 2: go out in soft conditions, soft conditions here from eleven
- 5:26Speaker 2: to two PM, because I think right after it storms
- 5:29Speaker 2: it calms down for like two to three hours.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Now. With that being said, the PM if if there
- 5:35Speaker 1: is a delay.
- 5:35Speaker 2: The PM guys tomorrow are gonna have to finish Saturday morning,
- 5:38Speaker 2: and that doesn't, by any means look easier. So I
- 5:41Speaker 2: will be going with some AM guys tomorrow. Also, if
- 5:44Speaker 2: you go with the PM guy, he gets he has
- 5:47Speaker 2: to play on Saturday, he's outside the cut line. He's
- 5:50Speaker 2: just gonna withdraw. So I do not want that happening
- 5:52Speaker 2: to me. I'm gonna go heavy AM PM four tomorrow.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Looking at some of the contests for tomorrow, nothing but
- 6:00Speaker 2: this four k, five dollars single entry has a really
- 6:03Speaker 2: nice payout structure. Four k up four hundred up top
- 6:06Speaker 2: to four hundred for tenth place. I mean, that's what
- 6:10Speaker 2: I look for. And so how many people get paid
- 6:13Speaker 2: two twelve get paid out of nine to fifty one entrance?
- 6:15Speaker 2: That is a nice little a percentage in my opinion.
- 6:18Speaker 2: So this is a clean way to spend five dollars.
- 6:20Speaker 2: And as always the ten dollars eighteen max. Another oh,
- 6:23Speaker 2: ten dollars eighteen max eight k. So this might be
- 6:26Speaker 2: a little bit of a different payout.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. That's why we check things and we
- 6:33Speaker 1: don't just go what we usually like.
- 6:35Speaker 2: This isn't the worst, but it's a little bit of
- 6:39Speaker 2: a different one, a little different, little different. Five dollars
- 6:42Speaker 2: four k is where I'll be spending my my cheat
- 6:44Speaker 2: bucks where he's spending my cheap bucks. Let's look at
- 6:46Speaker 2: this fifty five dollars four entry two k up top
- 6:50Speaker 2: don't love it, but if you get four entries in this,
- 6:53Speaker 2: you only have to beat like what forty something people
- 6:56Speaker 2: if everyone max enters. I do like this for top
- 6:59Speaker 2: heavy content and not that many entrants, so I would
- 7:02Speaker 2: be spending my money in the the fifty five dollars
- 7:06Speaker 2: four entry and the five dollars four k caddie for
- 7:11Speaker 2: the single entry. Before we get to the players, before
- 7:14Speaker 2: we get to any stats, got to show you a
- 7:16Speaker 2: little bit of the site. The stone is going to
- 7:19Speaker 2: be huge tomorrow and this is the week long stone,
- 7:22Speaker 2: but the showdown Stone is going to be huge. Like
- 7:24Speaker 2: we are trendy s tredy, sweaty tryhards about this with
- 7:29Speaker 2: a little bit of a right up. There will be
- 7:30Speaker 2: a right up for this tomorrow and whether it's going
- 7:33Speaker 2: to be a massive, massive, massive part of what we
- 7:36Speaker 2: are looking for for.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Tomorrow's stone.
- 7:40Speaker 2: So obviously this stone will have all of the information,
- 7:43Speaker 2: all of the bounce back percentage, the true of prose delta,
- 7:46Speaker 2: the ceilings, the floors, stuff like that.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Get to the site five. Use code boots. I don't
- 7:52Speaker 1: have the thing up right now. Use code boots. You
- 7:53Speaker 1: can get ten percent off plus a free week.
- 7:56Speaker 2: And if you do it now, you're gonna get all
- 7:58Speaker 2: of the Master's content for free.
- 8:00Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put that up.
- 8:01Speaker 2: If you want the Master's content for free, use this
- 8:05Speaker 2: damn code at the top of the screen. You're gonna
- 8:07Speaker 2: get the stone, you're gonna get the slate plan, the
- 8:10Speaker 2: showdown slate plan, which will be up.
- 8:12Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put it up right after the show.
- 8:14Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait till the golfers are off the course,
- 8:15Speaker 2: at least close to off the course, so I can
- 8:17Speaker 2: get a nice little gauge of what I am looking for,
- 8:19Speaker 2: uh excuse me looking for for tomorrow.
- 8:23Speaker 1: So use code boots if you want this stuff for free.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Uh super super super good time to join because we
- 8:30Speaker 2: have the Masters on the horizon. Stat Wise, stat wise,
- 8:34Speaker 2: we are looking for driving distance and short game. So
- 8:39Speaker 2: obviously all of these golfers are not going to be
- 8:42Speaker 2: done with their stats because it's only four footy nine
- 8:45Speaker 2: pm Eastern time, guys are still on the golf course.
- 8:47Speaker 2: I'm gonna's why I'm gonna wait for this slate plan.
- 8:49Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait for the state plan. But I'm looking
- 8:52Speaker 2: for kind of guys who have not not going crazy.
- 8:55Speaker 1: I don't want you to.
- 8:55Speaker 2: I don't want you coming off of a two and
- 8:56Speaker 2: a half strokes gained putting round. I want you to
- 8:59Speaker 2: have okay putting decent short but show me some driving distance,
- 9:03Speaker 2: show me some you're able.
- 9:03Speaker 1: To gain off the tee. Where is this right here? No?
- 9:07Speaker 1: I don't like him. Who would we like? Who could
- 9:11Speaker 1: we like?
- 9:14Speaker 2: Zach Boshu was a guy that was in the week
- 9:17Speaker 2: long slate plan early. I don't love this minus eight,
- 9:21Speaker 2: but it's not minus one and a half, it's not
- 9:23Speaker 2: minus two. As long as this doesn't change to minus
- 9:26Speaker 2: one point five strokes around the green, I would be
- 9:27Speaker 2: willing to go back to Bowshoe tomorrow. He's got the
- 9:30Speaker 2: driver in the green, the approach is there, and the
- 9:33Speaker 2: putter is there. I want to look into his distance
- 9:36Speaker 2: a little bit more, but this is kind of a
- 9:38Speaker 2: profile I am looking for who will and like you
- 9:42Speaker 2: don't necessarily have to go to guys at the top.
- 9:44Speaker 1: There's a ton of people still on the golf course.
- 9:47Speaker 1: This is a little bit of a worriesome profile.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Guys are gonna be wanting to chase that ADDC because
- 9:50Speaker 2: he's had some pop rounds recently. But I don't want
- 9:53Speaker 2: to chase this horrendous short game. I need some short
- 9:55Speaker 2: game for tomorrow. Mike T I do worry about his
- 9:59Speaker 2: short game in most weeks, and that's showing here. So
- 10:02Speaker 2: right now, I'm not liking too many guys. This is
- 10:04Speaker 2: a profile that I like.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Rico Hoy. He's losing zero point.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Two off the tee stats you have to be complete,
- 10:10Speaker 2: but he's gaining strokes around the green. Whenever Rico Hoo
- 10:13Speaker 2: he's gaining strokes around the green, he tends to parlay
- 10:15Speaker 2: that a little bit. So I do like that profile
- 10:18Speaker 2: a little bit from Rico Hoey. I think it's a
- 10:22Speaker 2: I think I think it's should be in for a
- 10:24Speaker 2: good damn I like Rica Hoy a lot.
- 10:28Speaker 1: I haven't said that.
- 10:28Speaker 2: I'm like tripping over my words because Rico Hoy's impressing
- 10:33Speaker 2: me and he hasn't impressed me in like a long
- 10:35Speaker 2: damn time. Because he's the ball shreking has been bad,
- 10:37Speaker 2: but this is kind of a profile and weather situation
- 10:40Speaker 2: where I think.
- 10:40Speaker 1: It could it could fit. See who else now? Justin Lower?
- 10:46Speaker 2: Justin Lower, he's gaining a stroke one point eight strokes
- 10:49Speaker 2: around the green through five holes. That is obviously going
- 10:51Speaker 2: to change, but justin Lower, I like him in situations
- 10:54Speaker 2: where you need to drive the ball far and you
- 10:56Speaker 2: have to have a good short game, you have to
- 10:58Speaker 2: make birdies.
- 10:59Speaker 1: That's kind of what we're looking for.
- 11:00Speaker 2: I know that's not necessarily san Antonio, but the way
- 11:03Speaker 2: the weather is setting it up for tomorrow, that's the
- 11:05Speaker 2: profile that I kind of like from Justin Lower. So
- 11:07Speaker 2: he's a golfer that I could be yearing up to
- 11:10Speaker 2: send out tomorrow.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Let's find a few more guys. Jimmy Walker.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Jimmy Walker, we know he's long off the tee. Worry
- 11:17Speaker 2: about the approach play a little bit, but the short
- 11:18Speaker 2: game is there. It's around a zero in the short game,
- 11:20Speaker 2: which means is room and pop, and he's proving to
- 11:23Speaker 2: at least gain a little bit on the putting greens
- 11:25Speaker 2: through seven holes. Carl Phillips has only played three holes,
- 11:29Speaker 2: but I think he is a perfect profile. We know
- 11:31Speaker 2: Carl Phillips is very long off the tee. The short
- 11:33Speaker 2: game has hit or miss. Check back to see Carl
- 11:35Speaker 2: Phillips short game stats later on today because I definitely
- 11:40Speaker 2: like where he's heading right now. But obviously I don't
- 11:44Speaker 2: want to go into too many guys because they're not
- 11:46Speaker 2: yet complete.
- 11:48Speaker 1: So go to the slate plan.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Go to the site to get all of the information
- 11:53Speaker 2: because it will be up following the round. I wanted
- 11:55Speaker 2: to just get on early and talk about a few
- 11:57Speaker 2: things because I have some plans in the afternoon. But
- 12:01Speaker 2: I cannot leave you guys empty handed. There's one golfer
- 12:04Speaker 2: that I am going to be on, and as one
- 12:07Speaker 2: golfer that we're on Song of the Day, don't we
- 12:09Speaker 2: don't mess around. We're gonna get the content done. But
- 12:12Speaker 2: definitely use code Boots and get the slate plan for
- 12:16Speaker 2: free today because I think we're going to have an
- 12:18Speaker 2: edge for tomorrow showdown.
- 12:19Speaker 1: So one golfer that I am on for tomorrow that
- 12:23Speaker 1: is Lee Hodges.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Lee Hodges has only played seven holes so far. He's
- 12:27Speaker 2: going to go out early. At least he's gonna get
- 12:29Speaker 2: some golf in tomorrow, and he's long off the tea
- 12:32Speaker 2: he has gained distance off the tea the last year
- 12:35Speaker 2: and a half.
- 12:36Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the short game.
- 12:37Speaker 2: He's got a get a great short game, and the
- 12:39Speaker 2: putter is already in the green. Lee Hodges, I love
- 12:42Speaker 2: the profile. We know he can nuke around. I don't
- 12:44Speaker 2: necessarily think he can go crazy love this week. I
- 12:48Speaker 2: don't love what I'm seeing from Lee Hodges at all
- 12:50Speaker 2: this week, but for a one round situation, I do,
- 12:54Speaker 2: in fact like Lee Hodges. He's got what we're looking for.
- 12:57Speaker 2: So he's the one golfer that we on. The Song
- 13:01Speaker 2: of the Day for tomorrow is gonna be is Song
- 13:03Speaker 2: to day for today Midnight Masquerade by Dark Divine. As always,
- 13:08Speaker 2: any questions, you know where to find me. Most likely
- 13:10Speaker 2: we'll be back tomorrow, but if there's a ton of
- 13:12Speaker 2: guys still on the golf course, then we're not going
- 13:13Speaker 2: to do a show tomorrow. Check the site for the
- 13:15Speaker 2: late plan, use code boots, help me help you. I'll
- 13:18Speaker 2: be back out on site for Hilton Head and as always,
- 13:22Speaker 2: enjoy your weekend, enjoy your night, and ship it.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Peace out.
