- 0:00Speaker 1: Storm's going clear. We left.
- 0:31Speaker 2: We are live touching on a round to showdown a
- 0:35Speaker 2: little bit of round one talk. As we get into
- 0:38Speaker 2: the weekend at Hilton Head. I know there's still golfers
- 0:41Speaker 2: on the golf course. They probably have like two hours
- 0:43Speaker 2: left out there. Some of the final guys are taking
- 0:44Speaker 2: the turn onto the back nine. But we got a
- 0:47Speaker 2: ton of dat, We got a ton of information to
- 0:48Speaker 2: talk round one, see who did what and what to
- 0:51Speaker 2: look for in round two. So we had a couple
- 0:54Speaker 2: of guys shoot rounds of sixty four, sixty five or better.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Ludvig get going low first round leader right now, I
- 1:00Speaker 2: do think that's gonna hold up. Harry E and Victor
- 1:02Speaker 2: shot seven, Michael Brandon, Gary Woodland shot six under, and
- 1:05Speaker 2: then there's a few other guys on the golf course
- 1:07Speaker 2: still at five under. Andrew Novak's a five under right now,
- 1:10Speaker 2: dB finished drive under, Ryan Fox, Rickey Fowler got to
- 1:13Speaker 2: six as well. So I wanted to touch on and see
- 1:15Speaker 2: how those guys did it and see if we can
- 1:17Speaker 2: find anything in their stat lines to see what they
- 1:21Speaker 2: did going into round two. So Ludvig, it was comedy approach.
- 1:26Speaker 2: It was just striping the ball from Teter Green. He
- 1:29Speaker 2: didn't even he didn't even hit a ton of fairways.
- 1:31Speaker 2: He just hit it in the right spot and got
- 1:32Speaker 2: so hot on approach. This Harris English. Harris English stat
- 1:36Speaker 2: line is not something I'm really gonna write home about.
- 1:38Speaker 2: It was all putter. I think he's first in the
- 1:41Speaker 2: field and putting so far, and not something like, yeah,
- 1:44Speaker 2: he's first in the field and putting. But also what
- 1:46Speaker 2: I do say about putting sometimes is we get on
- 1:49Speaker 2: here and we talk like, oh X guy puts so well,
- 1:52Speaker 2: fadom in round two, oh X guy put horribly. He's
- 1:55Speaker 2: got a put well in round in round two. That's
- 1:58Speaker 2: not always the case. We see guy guys luck sacked
- 2:00Speaker 2: for multiple days in a row and you're like, damn,
- 2:02Speaker 2: this guy is always gonna blow up. Then he just doesn't.
- 2:05Speaker 2: So Harris English, I don't think he's just gonna explode.
- 2:07Speaker 2: But he's not gonna shoot another sixty four tomorrow. Maybe
- 2:11Speaker 2: he'll he'll be a low owed, showdown target if you
- 2:13Speaker 2: want to go back to him. But Victor Holin, he
- 2:16Speaker 2: was another solid, all green, solid putter. Didn't do anything
- 2:19Speaker 2: in terms of too much pop approach. Michael Brennan pop
- 2:22Speaker 2: approach really solid keeping that form from Augusta going Gary
- 2:25Speaker 2: Wooden was all green, gained an all four category. Was
- 2:28Speaker 2: really nice to see. Fox had an unsustainable, unsustainable stat line.
- 2:34Speaker 2: He really was really around the green base. And then
- 2:35Speaker 2: Ricky just finished up really solid on approach, fifth in
- 2:38Speaker 2: the field so far on approach, and then Novak is
- 2:41Speaker 2: five under. He's fourth in the field and approach right
- 2:43Speaker 2: now training the right direction. So the almighty, the almighty
- 2:47Speaker 2: outlier right now is approach play. It's separating. It's gonna
- 2:50Speaker 2: separate going forward. It's what we thought was going to
- 2:52Speaker 2: separate over the first few days of handicapping this golf tournament.
- 2:57Speaker 2: So it's no surprise to see the approach guys coming
- 2:59Speaker 2: to for tuition in round one of the RBC Heritage. Look,
- 3:03Speaker 2: let's look at a current wave split. See how the
- 3:06Speaker 2: golfers are playing so far. It shouldn't be much so
- 3:09Speaker 2: right now the PM guys are getting lower, but they
- 3:13Speaker 2: haven't played that final final few holes. We can see
- 3:15Speaker 2: seventeen eighteen get a little bit hard, but nonetheless, like
- 3:20Speaker 2: I don't think this is gonna be too far or different.
- 3:22Speaker 2: I think this is going to be very close, but tomorrow,
- 3:25Speaker 2: we might get an advantage. Looking at the weather for tomorrow,
- 3:29Speaker 2: Friday morning looks a lot calmer than Friday afternoon. We
- 3:32Speaker 2: saw those tea times going out earlier. They're going out
- 3:34Speaker 2: in two, So I think if you can get a
- 3:37Speaker 2: sep what time they going out tomorrow, because they went
- 3:40Speaker 2: out like seven thirty this morning, right, let's see what
- 3:43Speaker 2: time they go out tomorrow. Round two, they're at seven
- 3:46Speaker 2: oh five today, they go out tomorrow seven oh five.
- 3:49Speaker 2: So if you can get a tea time from seven
- 3:53Speaker 2: o'clock to ten o'clock, and you don't have to play
- 3:56Speaker 2: in these stronger wins and stronger gus Like we're getting
- 4:01Speaker 2: twenty mile an hour gusted at four o'clock. We're getting
- 4:04Speaker 2: sixty miles an minin an hour gusts at eight o'clock.
- 4:06Speaker 2: I know it's only six miles an hour, but those
- 4:08Speaker 2: gusts when they get into the twenties are a big difference,
- 4:10Speaker 2: especially when you get down by the water. So I
- 4:12Speaker 2: really do think an am split is gonna come to
- 4:15Speaker 2: fruition tomorrow. And I think we're early enough in the
- 4:20Speaker 2: in the in the week in the contest that people
- 4:23Speaker 2: are gonna be like all right, the PM played well tomorrow,
- 4:26Speaker 2: we don't have to stack it. But if we can
- 4:27Speaker 2: get ahead of a stack once the stacks, once this
- 4:30Speaker 2: wave splits happened, then we chase them. But it's hard
- 4:34Speaker 2: for people to get ahead of them, at least that's
- 4:36Speaker 2: what I've seen in my opinion, So I think we
- 4:37Speaker 2: can potentially get ahead of a am PM stack tomorrow.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Looking at contest selection for tomorrow, I really like this
- 4:45Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty dollars four max entry. Although it's ten
- 4:48Speaker 2: k up top and tenth place only gets eight hundred.
- 4:51Speaker 2: I love the way that you can get I think
- 4:54Speaker 2: two point fifty is a fair amount for a single
- 4:57Speaker 2: lineup for like most of the people's structure. I know
- 5:01Speaker 2: it might be a little bit on the higher end,
- 5:02Speaker 2: but I think if you can get one lineup, if
- 5:04Speaker 2: you realize slate maybe two, there will be overlay for sure.
- 5:08Speaker 2: And by overlay, I mean not everybody will max enter this.
- 5:12Speaker 2: So if you put two lineups in there, you'll probably
- 5:15Speaker 2: be about field average in terms of a percentage of
- 5:18Speaker 2: guys that you have in your playerpool versus the pools
- 5:20Speaker 2: player pool. But with that being said, if you max
- 5:23Speaker 2: enter it, you're gonna have massive overlay and have a
- 5:25Speaker 2: much more percent chance to cash cash. And there's only
- 5:28Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy seven people. Ten thousand is not
- 5:32Speaker 2: crazy to win. It really isn't. If you have four
- 5:36Speaker 2: lineups in here, there's only one hundred and seventy seven people,
- 5:39Speaker 2: So for divided by one hundred seventy seven is sorry,
- 5:45Speaker 2: I always do this wrong. One seventy seven divided by
- 5:47Speaker 2: four is forty four. So everyone max enters this lineup,
- 5:51Speaker 2: you only have to beat four people. Not everybody will
- 5:53Speaker 2: max under this, and if they did, you can beat
- 5:56Speaker 2: forty four people. So I really think this contest is
- 5:59Speaker 2: really solid. Whenever they do these two fifty dollars four
- 6:02Speaker 2: maxes or those sixty dollars eight max I ll absolutely love.
- 6:07Speaker 2: So that is my contest of choice for tomorrow. The
- 6:11Speaker 2: code is already on the table. You can get all
- 6:13Speaker 2: of these projections, all of these sims. Oh that's a
- 6:16Speaker 2: slate plan. Everything in here for free, and as well
- 6:19Speaker 2: as the slate plan. So if you take what I'm gonna,
- 6:23Speaker 2: I keep looking the wrong thing, the showdown slate plan.
- 6:25Speaker 2: If you take some of this core it's not up yet,
- 6:28Speaker 2: it will be up after the round. If you take
- 6:30Speaker 2: some of this core, some of these tier rankings, and
- 6:32Speaker 2: you pair it with these projections right here, these Showdown projections,
- 6:37Speaker 2: which will be up in a few hours. This is
- 6:40Speaker 2: Round one obviously, and then you pair it with some
- 6:43Speaker 2: of the Showdown stone Like I said, like I always say,
- 6:47Speaker 2: not everything is always going to be one hundred percent perfect.
- 6:49Speaker 2: But if you take three names from each you can
- 6:51Speaker 2: easily land on the nuts easily. So if you use
- 6:55Speaker 2: that code, Boots, it is all going to be free.
- 6:59Speaker 2: The next thing I want to talk talk about is
- 7:00Speaker 2: some stats, some guys and see who we're doing what.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Who can we fade for tomorrow, who could potentially play
- 7:06Speaker 2: for tomorrow. Just get a nice little rundown on golfers
- 7:09Speaker 2: who are either doing things well, doing things where they
- 7:12Speaker 2: have to improve, or golfers who I think are gonna
- 7:16Speaker 2: fall back tomorrow. So like Harris English, although I said
- 7:19Speaker 2: he might not erupt tomorrow, I don't love that he
- 7:21Speaker 2: only gained point six off the tee only is about
- 7:24Speaker 2: zero one approach and gain five strokes in the short game.
- 7:28Speaker 2: That is obviously not sustainable. But like Harris English is
- 7:31Speaker 2: a good enough golfer to adjust. I just don't see
- 7:33Speaker 2: a full on, like plus three round coming from him.
- 7:36Speaker 2: I think he'll shoot like one or two on to tomorrow.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Down here, this is kind of a perfect profile we're
- 7:41Speaker 2: looking for from Ricky Fowler. He's doing everything good, but
- 7:44Speaker 2: the approach play is really good, so he has room
- 7:48Speaker 2: to grow on the putt and green with the around
- 7:50Speaker 2: the green game. It's a little bit of driving. He
- 7:52Speaker 2: had a horrible drive in fifteen somebody Park, So Ricky
- 7:55Speaker 2: Fowler is a perfect profile in my opinion for tomorrow.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Down the board a little bit right here, Bud Cauley.
- 8:02Speaker 2: He's gaining strokes off the tea, gaining a little bit
- 8:05Speaker 2: on approach, and just losing a little bit on the greens.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I don't expect Bud caully to gain two and a
- 8:08Speaker 2: half strokes on approach, but Bud Cawley has the profile
- 8:11Speaker 2: to pair this this this green, green, green with a
- 8:16Speaker 2: pop on the putting greens. Bud Cauley in the six
- 8:18Speaker 2: k range, I think is a nice call there. Who
- 8:21Speaker 2: does this right here? Only through ten holes? But Mat
- 8:24Speaker 2: fitz Patrick is putting together a stat line that makes
- 8:27Speaker 2: a ton of sense for tomorrow, and he's going out
- 8:29Speaker 2: in the morning so I do like Mat fitz Patrick
- 8:31Speaker 2: and hot take. He likes Harbor Towns, so Matt fitz
- 8:34Speaker 2: Patrick is another good play. This is a Livig Sunday
- 8:37Speaker 2: crumble profile. Let's look at Lovevig's profile right now. I
- 8:41Speaker 2: don't know how much of a crumble it is. I'm
- 8:43Speaker 2: higher on Ludwig in terms of like figuring it out
- 8:47Speaker 2: that I think most people I know he has a
- 8:49Speaker 2: caddy problem. I think the caddy problem is real. But
- 8:52Speaker 2: he's been doing this so so so solidly. If he's
- 8:56Speaker 2: gaining three strokes on approach, he's not gonna gain three
- 8:58Speaker 2: strokes on approach pro round. But if he's gaining one
- 9:01Speaker 2: to three strokes that approach for round, and is this anemic?
- 9:05Speaker 2: I mean not an emick on the putt and green.
- 9:06Speaker 2: He can play okay and win this golf. For a minute,
- 9:10Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm not gonna be out there saying
- 9:12Speaker 2: Livig is just gonna crumble because everyone's thinking that. So
- 9:16Speaker 2: let's find some more guys down the leaderboard. Let's look
- 9:17Speaker 2: for two more guys and then we'll get to the
- 9:19Speaker 2: one golfer that I am on. So who's this right here?
- 9:24Speaker 2: Shot two over today alex Norin. Alex Norn lost a
- 9:29Speaker 2: few strokes on off the tea. I wonder how accurate
- 9:32Speaker 2: he's driving it. If alex Norn is driving it accurately,
- 9:35Speaker 2: I think he could be a sneaky, really solid play tomorrow,
- 9:37Speaker 2: even though he's in the afternoon. So alex Norn he
- 9:41Speaker 2: hit driving Actually he hits seven out of fourteen fairways.
- 9:45Speaker 2: That's not bad. You know who else hit seven out
- 9:47Speaker 2: of fourteen fairways love Vig and he beat alex Norn
- 9:50Speaker 2: by ten strokes gain Sweden. I think alex Noran is
- 9:53Speaker 2: kind of a nice play for tomorrow because he is
- 9:57Speaker 2: where where are we? Because he is let me get
- 10:01Speaker 2: that back to Norman profile. He's about minus one on
- 10:03Speaker 2: the greens. That's okay. That can turn the around. The
- 10:05Speaker 2: green play was bad, but he's gaining on approach. The
- 10:08Speaker 2: approach is what we were looking for. So he is
- 10:10Speaker 2: gaining on approach. And he hit seven fairways today. I
- 10:12Speaker 2: think that will turn in the right direction for alex Norn.
- 10:16Speaker 2: And then one more golfer down here is kind of
- 10:19Speaker 2: a mess. But you're gonna have to play somebody down here. Maybe,
- 10:23Speaker 2: I mean Oxhay's expensive and he's only through fourteen holes,
- 10:28Speaker 2: a profile that doesn't seem crazy. I don't want to
- 10:32Speaker 2: chase Rio because like everyone loved Rio going in and
- 10:36Speaker 2: like I'm down with a minus point five minus one putter,
- 10:39Speaker 2: I don't want to chase three and a half strokes
- 10:41Speaker 2: plotting lost on the green. So this is kind of
- 10:43Speaker 2: bleaked down here, guys, it really is bleaked down here.
- 10:45Speaker 2: But I'll try to find one person that could potentially
- 10:48Speaker 2: make sense. Austin Smotherman. He was about minus one everywhere,
- 10:52Speaker 2: a zero one approach. We know he's been really solid
- 10:54Speaker 2: on approach. Let's see if he was sitting any fairways.
- 10:57Speaker 2: If Smotherman showed any signs of fairway, then I am
- 11:01Speaker 2: more in and out. He hit ten out fourteen feries,
- 11:05Speaker 2: So yeah, Austin's by the man is a golfer that
- 11:06Speaker 2: also makes sense. But the moment of truth, the reason
- 11:10Speaker 2: that we all came here is the one golfer that
- 11:14Speaker 2: I am on, and the one golfer that I am
- 11:17Speaker 2: on goes by the name of Corey Connors. He is
- 11:20Speaker 2: two under today so far through fourteen holes and has
- 11:24Speaker 2: made five birdies. Make that, yeah, five birdies with a triple.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Corey Connors is losing strokes and approach so far, but
- 11:33Speaker 2: that is due to a water ball. If you go
- 11:35Speaker 2: to the stone and go to the true approach delta,
- 11:38Speaker 2: Corey Connors should be in the green there. Combine that
- 11:40Speaker 2: with a chip in the water on number four. This
- 11:44Speaker 2: is not that bad. He's striping off the tee. This approach,
- 11:48Speaker 2: like I said, is not that bad and he's gaining
- 11:49Speaker 2: strokes putting. That is an amazing profile for Corey Connors
- 11:53Speaker 2: and he will be going out in the morning. So
- 11:56Speaker 2: that is a perfect, perfect profile that we are looking
- 12:00Speaker 2: for Corey Connors. So yeah, that's the golfer that I'm
- 12:05Speaker 2: on those That is a slate breakdown and as always,
- 12:10Speaker 2: the song of the day, the song of the day
- 12:12Speaker 2: is going to be choke Hold by sleep Token, good band.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Good songs kind of came in my head. So that's it.
- 12:20Speaker 2: I'll be back tomorrow night. You don't where to find
- 12:23Speaker 2: me any questions. You also know where to find me.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Peace out, let's ship it
