- 0:48Speaker 1: What's going on, good fans, it's your boy g sleep
- 0:50Speaker 1: with our DFS live stream for this week's Truest Championship.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Gotta go over any of your questions down there and chat,
- 0:56Speaker 1: look at the weather report out there before rounds one
- 0:58Speaker 1: and two, give you guys I das some of the
- 1:00Speaker 1: strategy ownership heading into block as well, and then we'll
- 1:03Speaker 1: look at some of the contests available, some lineup construction
- 1:06Speaker 1: over there on DraftKings as well, and put it all
- 1:08Speaker 1: together for you before you enter your lineups. So hopefully
- 1:11Speaker 1: you're having a fantastic week. Wednesday is one of my
- 1:13Speaker 1: favorite days of the weekends. Anytime we have a new
- 1:16Speaker 1: golf course like this, it's like the day before Christmas
- 1:19Speaker 1: for me, because we end up getting very interesting slates
- 1:21Speaker 1: when we haven't seen a golf course before, some prevailing
- 1:24Speaker 1: narratives that you might be able to go out there
- 1:25Speaker 1: and leverage against out there for DFS as well, so
- 1:28Speaker 1: we'll talk about different ways that you could approach this slate.
- 1:31Speaker 2: They go out there and make it a good one.
- 1:32Speaker 1: But anything else you're curious about, just go ahead and
- 1:35Speaker 1: let me know down in the chat. But we already
- 1:37Speaker 1: got Jay down there, go collect as well also beg Littleneck.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Hopefully you guys are having a swell day. C Floyd
- 1:43Speaker 1: as well. Brand says long hitter Luke. It wasn't quite
- 1:47Speaker 1: the long hitter Luke out there on the golf course today,
- 1:49Speaker 1: but we had some fun out there on the links.
- 1:51Speaker 1: We got Rick rolled down there, go collect with his
- 1:53Speaker 1: pounded Luke down there and let's have ourselves a week. Absolutely,
- 1:56Speaker 1: and just like Mike said, there go ahead smash like
- 1:59Speaker 1: bund if you got a han't already either, But let's
- 2:01Speaker 1: start it off with a talk about the golf course.
- 2:03Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna be the kind of tell that
- 2:05Speaker 1: tells you that I know exactly what's gonna happen this week,
- 2:08Speaker 1: but let's talk about what you do on weeks like
- 2:10Speaker 1: this on the PGA Tour. When we have a brand
- 2:12Speaker 1: new golf course, there's gonna be a lot of content
- 2:14Speaker 1: out there that tries to give people an idea of
- 2:17Speaker 1: how the golf course is going to play. And while
- 2:18Speaker 1: sometimes it might be exactly spot on, you know, going
- 2:21Speaker 1: after that content might be a really good idea, there
- 2:24Speaker 1: have also been plenty of times in the past where
- 2:26Speaker 1: it hasn't gone according to the industry standard. Maybe it
- 2:29Speaker 1: conditions weren't quite up to par, maybe it was softer
- 2:32Speaker 1: than people were expecting, or maybe the golf course just
- 2:34Speaker 1: played into a different type of skill set for one
- 2:37Speaker 1: reason or another. There could be a thousand different reasons
- 2:39Speaker 1: why that can go out there and happen that. I
- 2:41Speaker 1: can tell you somebody that's been doing this for four
- 2:43Speaker 1: or five years over here on YouTube, that I've.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Gone things wrong plenty of times out there on tour.
- 2:48Speaker 1: And you know, if I've gone things wrong, I can
- 2:50Speaker 1: guarantee you that other content creators have as well in
- 2:52Speaker 1: the process.
- 2:53Speaker 2: And I've seen it before myself.
- 2:55Speaker 1: You saw it even just a few weeks ago without
- 2:57Speaker 1: people thought that, what was it a couple of weeks
- 2:59Speaker 1: ago long on golf course CJ Byron Nelson was going
- 3:01Speaker 1: to play out there just last week. A lot of
- 3:03Speaker 1: people were looking for putting first sort of players, and
- 3:06Speaker 1: if you take a look at that leaderboard, it was
- 3:07Speaker 1: a lot more bomber heavy than you would have thought.
- 3:09Speaker 1: So on a week like this, to get to the
- 3:12Speaker 1: chase here, I like to go out there and fade
- 3:14Speaker 1: that prevailing narrative. A lot of times there'll be you know,
- 3:17Speaker 1: certain quote unquote key stats that people are throwing out
- 3:20Speaker 1: that end up being blowny by the end of the week,
- 3:22Speaker 1: and a few things that I've noticed out there in
- 3:24Speaker 1: the industry. Not saying that these are going to be wrong,
- 3:26Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let you know where other people are going,
- 3:29Speaker 1: so maybe you can consider going another direction is I've
- 3:32Speaker 1: seen a lot of people talking about wedge play this week.
- 3:34Speaker 1: It is a short par seventy, so again, I don't
- 3:37Speaker 1: know if that's really incorrect over there, but a lot
- 3:38Speaker 1: of people are gonna be focusing on those players. And
- 3:41Speaker 1: I heard bomber narrative from a few people as well,
- 3:43Speaker 1: and well, I agree that there are some bunkers that
- 3:45Speaker 1: you can carry on this golf course. It is also
- 3:48Speaker 1: a softer week. They've gone some rain over here in Philly,
- 3:51Speaker 1: so it's probably gonna be playing a little bit longer
- 3:53Speaker 1: than usual out there over the first few rounds.
- 3:55Speaker 2: It's a short par.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Seventy, so you know, while you might have some of
- 3:59Speaker 1: these narratives that people are throwing out there, I don't
- 4:01Speaker 1: know if it's a big enough push or a big
- 4:03Speaker 1: enough edge out there at this golf course that your
- 4:05Speaker 1: player pool should like only be bombers. There should only
- 4:08Speaker 1: be guys that are really good on bent grass or
- 4:10Speaker 1: only really good wedge players. Like I've heard some people
- 4:13Speaker 1: saying form heading in could be a really good way
- 4:16Speaker 1: to evaluate your pull. So rather than focusing on this
- 4:19Speaker 1: key sat or another right, trying to guess how the
- 4:21Speaker 1: golf course is going to play, why not just play
- 4:23Speaker 1: guys that are playing.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Well heading into this event? Right?
- 4:25Speaker 1: Why not simplify it as much as humanly possible and
- 4:28Speaker 1: take the guys with good form. Now, you can't just
- 4:31Speaker 1: take good form players in all six spots, because that's
- 4:33Speaker 1: probably six chockey players you're using in a lineup. But
- 4:36Speaker 1: that kind of idea could be how you simplify it
- 4:38Speaker 1: out there in your process this week. Maybe you see
- 4:41Speaker 1: a lot of people going to bombers and you say,
- 4:42Speaker 1: you know what, maybe if plays to an accuracy week,
- 4:46Speaker 1: maybe it's more about being positional off the tee. I
- 4:48Speaker 1: actually see a way, and based on what I see
- 4:50Speaker 1: with this golf course, that it is an accuracy first
- 4:53Speaker 1: golf course.
- 4:53Speaker 2: In fact, that's what I'm playing out there for my
- 4:55Speaker 2: player poll this week.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Right, that's the narrative that I'm choosing to go down
- 4:59Speaker 1: because I don't think a a lot of other people
- 5:00Speaker 1: are going to be choosing to do so. So whether
- 5:03Speaker 1: whatever that narrative is for you, and maybe it is
- 5:05Speaker 1: going after bombers, I don't want to completely dismiss that
- 5:08Speaker 1: it is probably going to be the most popular narrative
- 5:11Speaker 1: that people are going with. But whatever the case, maybe
- 5:13Speaker 1: pick your lane on a week like this and run
- 5:16Speaker 1: with it. Because nobody knows for certain how this golf
- 5:19Speaker 1: course is going to play. Some people probably know better
- 5:21Speaker 1: than others because of personal experience on the golf course.
- 5:25Speaker 1: So if you're going to lean towards something, I don't
- 5:26Speaker 1: have any problems with leaning into those sort of narratives,
- 5:29Speaker 1: but have an idea of what you're looking for out
- 5:32Speaker 1: there in players, A week like this grants us an
- 5:34Speaker 1: opportunity that we don't see very often a lot of
- 5:36Speaker 1: times after we've seen the golf course one or two
- 5:38Speaker 1: times out there on tour, I don't want to see
- 5:40Speaker 1: that we quote unquote figured them all out or anything
- 5:42Speaker 1: like that. But the sportsbooks, your models, you're even your
- 5:46Speaker 1: pricing over there on DraftKings starts to account for course fit.
- 5:49Speaker 1: At some point it's you know, you see it at
- 5:51Speaker 1: a lot of this positional courses. You know, Pete Die
- 5:53Speaker 1: Special Seabuu Kim is always priced up a little bit.
- 5:56Speaker 1: This If you want to be early out there to
- 5:58Speaker 1: a narrative, it's the perfect to do so, especially if
- 6:01Speaker 1: you don't agree with the popular sentiment out there, because
- 6:03Speaker 1: it could be a little bit lower onn So this
- 6:06Speaker 1: week my take is a lot different than what other
- 6:08Speaker 1: people in the industry seem to think for this course,
- 6:10Speaker 1: so it's really easy for me to lean.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Into that sort of game theory.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Maybe you're somebody that isn't you know, a probe when
- 6:16Speaker 1: it comes to playing vjdfs. You just want to go
- 6:18Speaker 1: out there and find a way to get different out
- 6:20Speaker 1: there this week.
- 6:21Speaker 2: You could pick anything.
- 6:22Speaker 1: I think the form way would be a really good
- 6:24Speaker 1: way to go out there and do so. If you
- 6:25Speaker 1: want to look for some accuracy. Guys like I am,
- 6:27Speaker 1: I don't think that that's a terrible idea. If you
- 6:29Speaker 1: just want to look at second shot only it is
- 6:31Speaker 1: going to be a wet golf course with dartboards for
- 6:34Speaker 1: greens out there. That could be a narrative that you
- 6:36Speaker 1: go after. If you want to use the bomber Nay
- 6:37Speaker 1: of hell, you could make that when you go out
- 6:39Speaker 1: there and you build lineups around. I think building it sets,
- 6:42Speaker 1: as my guy Tyler Tambalini says all the time over
- 6:45Speaker 1: handship and nation, is a really really good idea on
- 6:48Speaker 1: a slate like this. So I just wanted to start
- 6:50Speaker 1: there because, in my opinion, these kinds of weeks when
- 6:52Speaker 1: we have a completely new setup are some of the
- 6:55Speaker 1: biggest edges that we have in pgadfs because not only
- 6:58Speaker 1: can you play the game theory and go out there
- 7:00Speaker 1: your lineups, forcing and leverage out there into your builds,
- 7:03Speaker 1: you can play the game theory angle against the skill
- 7:05Speaker 1: set that everyone thinks is.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Going to get the job done, and you know if
- 7:08Speaker 2: it ends up being more of a short course specialist.
- 7:11Speaker 1: And by the way, it doesn't even just have to
- 7:12Speaker 1: be the off the tea play that gets there. Here's
- 7:15Speaker 1: my take on the golf course, by the way, because
- 7:16Speaker 1: I've kind of mentioned it a little bit, I'll just
- 7:18Speaker 1: go ahead and get it out there right off the bat.
- 7:20Speaker 1: I think that off the tee play is like a
- 7:22Speaker 1: wash this week. I think being a bomber is always
- 7:24Speaker 1: going to be great, but with how soft the course
- 7:26Speaker 1: is and with the chance for being lipped clean in
- 7:28Speaker 1: place the first few rounds. I want guys that can
- 7:31Speaker 1: hit fairways as well, because they're gonna be able to
- 7:33Speaker 1: give themselves a perfect line out there into greens, and
- 7:35Speaker 1: because of how receptive they are, they're gonna be able
- 7:37Speaker 1: to spin pretty much everything from a seven iron and
- 7:41Speaker 1: shorter out there, from like seven iron to your wedges.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Some of your longer clubs are probably gonna one hop
- 7:45Speaker 1: and stop out there on the greens if and that's
- 7:48Speaker 1: a huge iff over here if you're hitting from the fairway.
- 7:51Speaker 1: So my take on the golf course is that off
- 7:53Speaker 1: the tee, I think being a bomber would be helpful.
- 7:55Speaker 1: But I also think that being accurate is also going
- 7:58Speaker 1: to be helpful around here. So I hate to say
- 8:00Speaker 1: that I don't care how people are playing off the tee. Obviously,
- 8:03Speaker 1: Nick Dunlop losing like three strokes per round off the
- 8:06Speaker 1: t matters.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Now.
- 8:07Speaker 1: What I am saying, though, is that if you're somebody
- 8:09Speaker 1: that gains like a half a stroke off the team,
- 8:10Speaker 1: it's with your accuracy. And you're also somebody that gains
- 8:13Speaker 1: a half a stroke off the team, you do it
- 8:14Speaker 1: with your power. I don't really have a lean towards
- 8:17Speaker 1: one player or the other. Where I do go out there,
- 8:20Speaker 1: and I'm going after my player poll this week is
- 8:22Speaker 1: with the second shot from one hundred and seventy five
- 8:24Speaker 1: yards and in almost every approach shot but the exception
- 8:26Speaker 1: of four out there per round is going to be
- 8:29Speaker 1: from at most one hundred and seventy five yards. There
- 8:31Speaker 1: are some two difficult par threes, there are two maybe
- 8:34Speaker 1: even three par fours. We're gonna have over one hundred
- 8:37Speaker 1: and seventy five yards and in. But outside of those
- 8:39Speaker 1: four maybe five holes around the golf course, the other
- 8:42Speaker 1: thirteen are going to be extremely scorable. So I know
- 8:45Speaker 1: people were mentioning quote unquote wedges that kind of thing.
- 8:47Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a lot of eight and
- 8:49Speaker 1: nine irons out there from the players this week as well,
- 8:51Speaker 1: So I wouldn't just say wedges out there for those
- 8:53Speaker 1: sort of players. And I've also looking for some bent
- 8:56Speaker 1: grass putting as well. We know that it's bent grass.
- 8:58Speaker 1: You know that they're pretty quick as well from what
- 9:00Speaker 1: players have said out there. So if you want to
- 9:02Speaker 1: look at some fast bent graft scats as I have
- 9:05Speaker 1: out there in my analysis, then that can be the
- 9:07Speaker 1: narrative that you go with. But whatever the case may be,
- 9:10Speaker 1: whatever sort of lean that you're gonna go with for
- 9:13Speaker 1: the speak, have a reason for it. And I guess
- 9:15Speaker 1: the one thing I will say about some of those
- 9:17Speaker 1: longer players is don't be surprised if out there in
- 9:20Speaker 1: GVPS that they're a little bit higher on than you
- 9:22Speaker 1: might expect. So like your min bus, you're Keith Mitchell's
- 9:25Speaker 1: the guys that hit it a long way off the tee.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I'm not talking about double the ownership on those sort
- 9:30Speaker 1: of players, but let's say that they're projected. Let's say
- 9:32Speaker 1: a Keith Mitchell, for example, I think I have round
- 9:35Speaker 1: like let me actually just bring it up so we
- 9:36Speaker 1: don't have to even guess out there with Keith Mitchell,
- 9:39Speaker 1: but I think I have him around like nine percent ownership.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Let me give you guys an exact number here, a
- 9:45Speaker 1: little bit over nine percent ownership out there in my projections.
- 9:48Speaker 1: If I'm right about the Bombers being the most predominant narrative,
- 9:51Speaker 1: that he might be like eleven twelve percent owned when
- 9:54Speaker 1: we wake up over there tomorrow morning. So again, not
- 9:56Speaker 1: talking about like double the ownership out there on some
- 9:59Speaker 1: of those narratives, but there's a chance that you see
- 10:01Speaker 1: some steam out there on those longer players. So that's
- 10:04Speaker 1: what I've got out there from the golf course perspective.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I know, maybe a little bit more time that we
- 10:08Speaker 1: spend unusual out there from that perspective, but it's an
- 10:11Speaker 1: unusual week out there for the PGA Tour in terms
- 10:14Speaker 1: of your weather. We're not going to have a massive
- 10:15Speaker 1: edge out there for the first few days, just because
- 10:18Speaker 1: tea times are about two hour spread. So your first
- 10:21Speaker 1: tea time is at around eleven oh nine Eastern times
- 10:24Speaker 1: so and the last tea time over here is going
- 10:26Speaker 1: to be at one ten pm, so only two hours
- 10:29Speaker 1: from the first to the last tea time, which doesn't
- 10:31Speaker 1: give you much of a spread at all to go
- 10:33Speaker 1: and find any sort of a weather edge. Maybe for showdown,
- 10:36Speaker 1: because you can be very specific over there. In Showdown,
- 10:39Speaker 1: you might be able to find a slight edge out
- 10:41Speaker 1: there for maybe the last two to four rounds, But
- 10:43Speaker 1: out here on Thursday, I don't see a big edge
- 10:45Speaker 1: when it comes to the showdown perspective. Wins are pretty
- 10:48Speaker 1: flat the entire day. They're starting around noon. The temperatures
- 10:51Speaker 1: are also going to be pretty consistent, and if you
- 10:53Speaker 1: wanted to be super nitpicky, like, sure, it could be
- 10:56Speaker 1: a little firmer and faster out there for the last
- 10:58Speaker 1: hour or so, but it's only a two hour spread
- 11:01Speaker 1: out there from And that's the most extreme example that
- 11:04Speaker 1: you can find in the field.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Right.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Most tea times and groups are only going to be
- 11:08Speaker 1: spread off by like a half an hour to an
- 11:10Speaker 1: hour at the very.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Most in most cases.
- 11:12Speaker 1: So weather for showdown not going to be a big
- 11:14Speaker 1: factor tomorrow. I think they're going to shoot the grass
- 11:17Speaker 1: off this golf course. They can see a lot of
- 11:19Speaker 1: low scores out there with the receptive greens, not a
- 11:22Speaker 1: whole lot of rough out there from what I've heard.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Pin locations going to be a big factor here because
- 11:26Speaker 1: this golf course does have a lot of slope to it,
- 11:29Speaker 1: But the first round of the golf course, they're not
- 11:31Speaker 1: going to go overboard when it comes to that kind
- 11:32Speaker 1: of stuff. They're not going to use the Sunday pin
- 11:35Speaker 1: locations out there on a Thursday when it's the first
- 11:38Speaker 1: time that these guys have seen this kind of a track.
- 11:40Speaker 1: So Thursday I think is a washout. I don't see
- 11:42Speaker 1: any sort of an edge over that two hour window.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And then if we go over here to the NEAM model.
- 11:47Speaker 1: On Friday, it looks like it's going to be rainy
- 11:49Speaker 1: early in the day, but just like they're doing over
- 11:52Speaker 1: there for Thursday, they're not starting until eleven, so the
- 11:55Speaker 1: rain is supposed to kind of stop by then. Maybe
- 11:57Speaker 1: they have some cleanup to do on the golf course
- 11:59Speaker 1: where they have to move backlock like an hour and
- 12:02Speaker 1: a half, that kind of thing. They should still be
- 12:04Speaker 1: able to finish if that's the case, And the temperatures
- 12:06Speaker 1: look pretty flat. It's a little bit cooler though what
- 12:09Speaker 1: you had over there for Thursday, so topping out at
- 12:11Speaker 1: about sixty degrees as opposed to the seventy five that
- 12:14Speaker 1: you have for tomorrow.
- 12:15Speaker 2: So I think.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Conditions in general are going to be a little bit
- 12:17Speaker 1: harder because not only do you have those cooler temperatures,
- 12:20Speaker 1: but also a little bit more wind than what you
- 12:22Speaker 1: had there for Thursday. And we'll look at a few
- 12:24Speaker 1: of the other models for Friday, just because it's a
- 12:26Speaker 1: little bit further out, maybe not as consistent or as
- 12:30Speaker 1: reliable a forecast when it's that far out. You can
- 12:33Speaker 1: see this GFS model, which is fully loaded in for Friday,
- 12:36Speaker 1: is calling for rain early in the day, and then
- 12:38Speaker 1: as the day goes on, pretty much right about when
- 12:40Speaker 1: they're going to start, it tapers off and then the
- 12:42Speaker 1: winds start to kick up. So maybe you want some
- 12:45Speaker 1: later starters on Friday, just based on this GFS forecast
- 12:48Speaker 1: that we're looking at. But that's only one of like
- 12:50Speaker 1: the four or five models here. In fact, if you
- 12:52Speaker 1: go over here to the ECM model over here on Friday,
- 12:55Speaker 1: it's calling for the exact opposite. It's calling for the
- 12:57Speaker 1: storms to come in a little bit later on in
- 12:59Speaker 1: the day, which would actually favor some of the earlier
- 13:02Speaker 1: starters over there on a Friday's round. So I'm not
- 13:05Speaker 1: playing the weather at all out there in my lineups.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Last week, I told you I put ten percent out
- 13:10Speaker 1: there in either direction out there for my lineups. This
- 13:13Speaker 1: week it's zero percent. And I'm playing three hundred lineups
- 13:16Speaker 1: out there for this kind of week, so a little
- 13:18Speaker 1: bit more volume than what I'm used to out there
- 13:21Speaker 1: for any given week. Because with that course stuff that
- 13:24Speaker 1: I was talking about before, where I think that a
- 13:26Speaker 1: lot of people are convinced that they know what's going
- 13:29Speaker 1: to happen for this golf course that I want to
- 13:32Speaker 1: leverage against that right, if everyone is just so sold
- 13:35Speaker 1: that they know it's going to play this exact way,
- 13:37Speaker 1: then I'll go out there and zig while everyone else
- 13:40Speaker 1: is going out there and zagging, and see if I
- 13:42Speaker 1: can go out there and get some low owned plays.
- 13:44Speaker 1: So that's what I'm doing out there. From the weather perspective,
- 13:47Speaker 1: really not much out there in my exposure. We'll be
- 13:49Speaker 1: tracking the weather out there tomorrow to see if perhaps
- 13:52Speaker 1: there's something that we can learn from out there for
- 13:54Speaker 1: rounds two through four, but as of right now, nothing
- 13:57Speaker 1: that I see out there personally, and rounds three and
- 14:00Speaker 1: we might not have the same threesome format, but because
- 14:02Speaker 1: they already have the round to tea times made, it's
- 14:05Speaker 1: gonna be the same thing out there for Friday. So
- 14:07Speaker 1: when we get to the round two shoedown stream out
- 14:09Speaker 1: there tomorrow nights, Unfortunately, we're probably not gonna be looking
- 14:12Speaker 1: at much of a weather edge.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Now.
- 14:14Speaker 1: That rain could change things up a little bit, but
- 14:16Speaker 1: I'm not counting on it as of break.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Now, let me bring up my projection.
- 14:19Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do next, just talk through some
- 14:21Speaker 1: of the ownership and game theory, and of course any
- 14:23Speaker 1: of the player pulled deep dives that you want. So
- 14:26Speaker 1: this is a spreadsheet where we can go through some
- 14:28Speaker 1: of the ownership.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Towards the top, We're.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Gonna go through a few players that I'm using just
- 14:32Speaker 1: to give you some perspective and what I'm looking for
- 14:34Speaker 1: in players. And you know this isn't a show. We're
- 14:36Speaker 1: gonna get a whole bunch of picks in plays. It's
- 14:39Speaker 1: gonna be a lot more process based over here on
- 14:41Speaker 1: this channel, which is what you're always gonna get over
- 14:43Speaker 1: there with the ship at Nation, but also something that
- 14:45Speaker 1: I preach over there in the content that I do
- 14:48Speaker 1: on my YouTube channel gs loop DFS.
- 14:50Speaker 2: But we are going to go through a few plays
- 14:52Speaker 2: down towards.
- 14:52Speaker 1: The bottom just to show you what I'm thinking when
- 14:55Speaker 1: I'm getting too plays. You don't necessarily have to go
- 14:57Speaker 1: out there and use them yourself. If you agree with me,
- 14:59Speaker 1: then by all means, go out there play them in
- 15:01Speaker 1: lineup to go out there and get that leverage. But
- 15:03Speaker 1: it's more so the thought process that I want you
- 15:06Speaker 1: to take from the segment. But any sort of deep
- 15:08Speaker 1: dives that you want, go ahead and let me know
- 15:09Speaker 1: down to chat. I've got all the shots gained metrics
- 15:12Speaker 1: to go out there and look at we can look
- 15:13Speaker 1: at last twenty four rounds, so the last month or
- 15:15Speaker 1: so out there on tour, how these guys have been playing.
- 15:18Speaker 1: We take a look at the last twelve measured rounds. E.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Then history is pretty useless, so we'll probably skip that
- 15:23Speaker 1: tab just because it was at a different golf course.
- 15:26Speaker 1: But we can look at some recent form over here
- 15:28Speaker 1: as well. So any of that, go ahead and let
- 15:30Speaker 1: me know, but catch up on chat see what's.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Going on, or we leave off course. Looks rad?
- 15:40Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I've never played PCC, but from everything you've
- 15:44Speaker 1: told me, seems like it's gonna be an absolute blast.
- 15:46Speaker 1: So have some fun out there. Man, you're not a
- 15:48Speaker 1: fan of the new cut. I tend to like it,
- 15:50Speaker 1: but hey, everyone likes different things, right. Can't blame you
- 15:54Speaker 1: for that, Michael says, and a few minutes late, but
- 15:56Speaker 1: you made it better have to have you late than never.
- 15:59Speaker 1: No cut is I would rather have a cut, but
- 16:02Speaker 1: it doesn't make that much of difference for me. Primo says,
- 16:04Speaker 1: what's up, bro, what's going on yourself?
- 16:06Speaker 2: I'm doing well.
- 16:06Speaker 1: I played some golf today, played with a few buddies
- 16:09Speaker 1: over their twelve holes.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Before I had to get out of there.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I didn't play particularly well, but it was driving it well,
- 16:14Speaker 1: so I at least had that going for me. We're
- 16:16Speaker 1: in Philly, so a cheese steak could make some sense.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Yet a little cheese steak, HOGI, I see what you're
- 16:21Speaker 1: doing right there?
- 16:22Speaker 2: What's going on? Ross? Welcome on? In a no cut?
- 16:24Speaker 2: Does that change the lineup? Build? See? Let's talk about it. So.
- 16:27Speaker 1: I know some people don't seem to like the no
- 16:29Speaker 1: cut stuff, which I get it right. There's drama involved
- 16:32Speaker 1: with the cut. It's an extra sweat over there on Friday.
- 16:34Speaker 2: I'm all for it as well.
- 16:35Speaker 1: But it does change the strategy just a little bit
- 16:37Speaker 1: because you don't have the missed cut equity. You can
- 16:40Speaker 1: still have guys finishing in like fortieth this week, but
- 16:42Speaker 1: if they make twenty twenty five birdies, that could be
- 16:44Speaker 1: enough to get there in dfs and not necessarily like
- 16:47Speaker 1: the five to twenty five dollars GVP. You're probably not
- 16:49Speaker 1: gonna take down like one hundred k two hundred k
- 16:51Speaker 1: contest with somebody that's finishing in fortieth. But if you're
- 16:54Speaker 1: entering a single injury against a couple hundred other people
- 16:57Speaker 1: and you've got three of the top five something like that,
- 16:59Speaker 1: then one guy who's like in fortieth that kind of thing,
- 17:02Speaker 1: you can still take down the GPP if that guy's
- 17:04Speaker 1: going out there and making a lot of birdies. So
- 17:06Speaker 1: what I normally do to change my process, Mike, is
- 17:09Speaker 1: I weigh birdie or better percentage a little bit more,
- 17:11Speaker 1: just because we know that they have four rounds and
- 17:14Speaker 1: on DraftKings we mentioned it a lot out there. For
- 17:16Speaker 1: the showdown perspective, that's all about how many birdies you make,
- 17:19Speaker 1: those streaks bogey free round extra points that you can
- 17:22Speaker 1: add on top of that. If you're going out there
- 17:23Speaker 1: and making a whole bunch of pars, maybe making like
- 17:26Speaker 1: three birdies one bogie out there per round, it might
- 17:28Speaker 1: look okay from your placement, but you're not going to
- 17:31Speaker 1: do very well with your DraftKings lineup. But those sort
- 17:33Speaker 1: of guys out there, so I am looking for the
- 17:35Speaker 1: more aggressive players in this sort of format because we
- 17:38Speaker 1: have those four guaranteed rounds, I will take a lot
- 17:40Speaker 1: more risk on those sort of guys. And I'm down low, Mike.
- 17:43Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna have a few examples of those kind
- 17:45Speaker 1: of players for you that are high upside high birdie makers,
- 17:49Speaker 1: good part five scores as well. To go out there
- 17:51Speaker 1: and get you those DraftKings points. You live here, he said,
- 17:53Speaker 1: get to Angelou's in South Philly next year for aronomic.
- 17:57Speaker 1: I may be up there for the PGA Championships. See
- 18:00Speaker 1: it then, and we'll have to hit up Angelou's when
- 18:02Speaker 1: I do. So it's going on ross, he says. You
- 18:03Speaker 1: know this stream is about the Truest, But before you end,
- 18:06Speaker 1: curious if I played anything for Myrtle Beach.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:09Speaker 1: So, I'm always willing to go over some Myrtle Beach
- 18:11Speaker 1: stuff too. Still PGA DFS, different event, but the same
- 18:14Speaker 1: kind of thing. This week, I haven't done a whole
- 18:16Speaker 1: bunch of DFS, man, but I did put some outrights
- 18:18Speaker 1: out there.
- 18:19Speaker 2: I'm not like.
- 18:20Speaker 1: An expert on the golf course when it comes to
- 18:22Speaker 1: the Dunes club that they're playing this week, but it's
- 18:25Speaker 1: kind of long, like it's a sneaky long part seventy one.
- 18:27Speaker 1: It's like seventy five hundred yards. So unlike the event
- 18:32Speaker 1: that we're talking about here, the Truest, where I'm not
- 18:34Speaker 1: so sold out there on that Bomber narrative. I would
- 18:37Speaker 1: want to play some longer players over there for the
- 18:39Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach Classics. So, and you said any insight like
- 18:43Speaker 1: in general there maybe some bombers.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Then I'll show you the weather real quick too. Ross.
- 18:48Speaker 2: You can always take a quick.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Little one minute decide to show you the weather for
- 18:51Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach, because it is something I was looking at.
- 18:53Speaker 1: They're not playing at TPC of Myrtle Beach, by the way,
- 18:55Speaker 1: but it is relatively close to where they're playing this
- 18:58Speaker 1: actual event. Each triple R for tomorrow looks like the
- 19:01Speaker 1: AM guys could be getting a little bit of an advantage.
- 19:04Speaker 1: And then over there on Friday, I believe it might
- 19:07Speaker 1: even flip. Yeah, they've got some rain there in the morning.
- 19:10Speaker 1: It does look a little bit windier in the afternoon,
- 19:12Speaker 1: but it's gonna be warmer and they're not gonna be
- 19:15Speaker 1: playing through any sort of storm.
- 19:16Speaker 2: So hmmm.
- 19:18Speaker 1: I haven't played in any DFS lineups, but like maybe
- 19:21Speaker 1: going after some AM guys and if you're playing Showdown
- 19:23Speaker 1: for that, for sure play the AM guys tomorrow. That's
- 19:26Speaker 1: a I entered some prop stuff over there from Myrtle Beach,
- 19:29Speaker 1: some overs on birdies out there for the AM players,
- 19:32Speaker 1: so I would definitely be using them in showdown.
- 19:34Speaker 2: If I was playing that.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Yeah, let me know if you need anything else. By
- 19:36Speaker 1: the Bay Rossa, I know I didn't give you a
- 19:39Speaker 1: whole bunch there, but I tried to give you some
- 19:40Speaker 1: of the spark notes for myrtle there. Who is my
- 19:42Speaker 1: favorite accuracy player, So Russell Henley would have been one
- 19:46Speaker 1: of them. But you know, just guys that ranked all
- 19:48Speaker 1: an accuracy percentage. It's not even so much.
- 19:50Speaker 2: That that I like.
- 19:51Speaker 1: And we'll get back to that because I was mentioning
- 19:54Speaker 1: that a little bit earlier. It's not like I really
- 19:57Speaker 1: care about off the tea that much. Off the tea
- 19:59Speaker 1: is not what's gonna win and lose you around a
- 20:01Speaker 1: Philly cricket club. It's the second shot in the putting
- 20:03Speaker 1: in my opinion. So accuracy guys that I'm using would
- 20:06Speaker 1: be a Russell Henley. But it's not even so much
- 20:09Speaker 1: that the accuracy is why I'm getting onto a Henley.
- 20:11Speaker 1: It's that he's been nutted with the irons. It's that
- 20:13Speaker 1: he's been really good putting over the last few months.
- 20:16Speaker 1: It's that he's won or even nearly one at golf
- 20:19Speaker 1: courses that I think you're going to play pretty similar
- 20:21Speaker 1: to what we have this week. I think that if
- 20:24Speaker 1: if you're looking at like the bomber versus accuracy thing,
- 20:26Speaker 1: that you might be looking at the wrong thing. In
- 20:28Speaker 1: my opinion, those other categories are what you want to
- 20:31Speaker 1: focus on. But yeah, Russell Henley would be an example
- 20:33Speaker 1: of that sort of player, justin Rose. He's somebody that
- 20:36Speaker 1: I bet this week over there at sixty six to one.
- 20:39Speaker 1: He'd be an accuracy guy that I'm getting over the
- 20:41Speaker 1: field on. But again, it's it's not that driver that's
- 20:44Speaker 1: really getting me onto those sort of players. It's the
- 20:46Speaker 1: other stuff that they do that is far more important.
- 20:48Speaker 1: In my opinion, Am I playing McInroy or fading? Not
- 20:52Speaker 1: going to say anything definitive with my player pool here?
- 20:54Speaker 1: There is obviously my patron page where you can see
- 20:57Speaker 1: exactly what I'm doing for my player pool. But he's
- 21:00Speaker 1: thirty five percent owned. So we're gonna talk about the
- 21:02Speaker 1: game theory here. In a second, I'll give you some
- 21:04Speaker 1: of the pros and cons to doing it either way,
- 21:06Speaker 1: because I don't think it's as simple as saying that
- 21:08Speaker 1: he's highly owned. He's somebody you should go out there
- 21:10Speaker 1: and fade. I think it's a lot more nuanced than that.
- 21:13Speaker 1: So I'll give you guys an idea in a second.
- 21:14Speaker 1: And then he said, thoughts on can't lay. Dude hasn't
- 21:16Speaker 1: won in a while, but he's trending somewhat. Yeah, you
- 21:19Speaker 1: can see him on there. He is a core play
- 21:20Speaker 1: for me, so kind of like Russell Henley. I love
- 21:22Speaker 1: him this week. I think he's trending the right way.
- 21:25Speaker 1: He's got really good Ben Grass putting numbers. That's part
- 21:27Speaker 1: of the reason I really like him. Then if you
- 21:29Speaker 1: take a look at the approach stats from one hundred
- 21:31Speaker 1: and seventy five yards and in, he's top twenty five
- 21:33Speaker 1: in every proximity bucket this year. So I like the
- 21:36Speaker 1: way that he's trending. As you said, I like the
- 21:38Speaker 1: agronomy numbers. I like that birdy percentage for Patrick Cantlay.
- 21:42Speaker 1: He's been making a lot of birdies here in twenty
- 21:44Speaker 1: twenty five. All of that plus the twenty to one
- 21:46Speaker 1: number to win I thought was pretty favorable considering the
- 21:49Speaker 1: kind of course fit that he has here. Yeah, give
- 21:51Speaker 1: me some Patrick Cantlay. But let's talk about this ownership
- 21:54Speaker 1: up top. So any other player chep fives that you
- 21:56Speaker 1: guys want feel free to go ahead and let me know.
- 21:58Speaker 1: We can go through some stats, which by the way,
- 21:59Speaker 1: with can't Lay, just to show you why I like
- 22:02Speaker 1: him so much, gaining a stroke per round on approach,
- 22:05Speaker 1: that is exactly what we want to see. And this
- 22:07Speaker 1: short game, which is usually a strength of his, has
- 22:09Speaker 1: actually been just under a stroke lost per round over
- 22:13Speaker 1: those last twelve measured rounds. So yeah, give me some
- 22:15Speaker 1: regression with Patrick Cantlay. Now this ownership up top, let's
- 22:19Speaker 1: talk about Rory McRory because he's really in a tier
- 22:22Speaker 1: of his own when it comes to the ownership, and
- 22:23Speaker 1: you could see in my projections on my Patreon page,
- 22:26Speaker 1: I've got him at about thirty five percent, So I've
- 22:29Speaker 1: got just over a third of lamps getting to Rory McClory.
- 22:32Speaker 1: And the easy argument for wanting to go out there
- 22:35Speaker 1: and fade him would be if you fade a thirty
- 22:37Speaker 1: five percent on player and he doesn't get into the
- 22:39Speaker 1: top ten, well, then you're looking at just sixty five
- 22:42Speaker 1: percent of the field that you're playing against for the
- 22:44Speaker 1: rest of your lineups. Now, the other side of it
- 22:46Speaker 1: is that Rory mcbray just won the Masters, He's won
- 22:49Speaker 1: multiple events this year, he's been like, by far, the
- 22:51Speaker 1: best player that we've had on the PGA tour out
- 22:53Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty five, and that he's only twelve grands.
- 22:57Speaker 1: And you might say you're crazy for saying only twelve thousand,
- 23:00Speaker 1: but you would argue with the kind of form that
- 23:02Speaker 1: he's had that he's pretty much on the same level
- 23:04Speaker 1: as a Scottie right now. That Scotty, I mean, we've
- 23:07Speaker 1: seen him at thirteen thousand, even fourteen thousand dollars out
- 23:10Speaker 1: there for a Sunday showdown slate before that. Rory should
- 23:13Speaker 1: be a lot more expensive than this twelve thousand dollars.
- 23:15Speaker 1: So the argument for playing Rory would be that he's
- 23:18Speaker 1: too cheap. I definitely agree with that out there in
- 23:21Speaker 1: a week like this, and that even if you use
- 23:23Speaker 1: Rory McElroy and you're taking a thirty five percent owned player,
- 23:27Speaker 1: that's not a death sentence. You still have five of
- 23:29Speaker 1: their players to go out there and get that leverage
- 23:31Speaker 1: that you need. And because you're taking a more expensive
- 23:34Speaker 1: player and you're forcing in some salary towards the top,
- 23:37Speaker 1: it is going to force you down to that six
- 23:39Speaker 1: k range and the ownership is going to be blacked
- 23:42Speaker 1: out here over here for some of these six K
- 23:43Speaker 1: range players. But you can see like a Cam Davis
- 23:46Speaker 1: is two percent owns, guys like a Grazman who we're
- 23:48Speaker 1: going to talk up later about four percent owns. And
- 23:50Speaker 1: I'm going to give you guys an idea of why
- 23:52Speaker 1: I'm looking for those higher upside players down low. If
- 23:55Speaker 1: you're using a Rory, then maybe taking another spend up
- 23:58Speaker 1: here ninety five hundred and above out there for your
- 24:00Speaker 1: second man in maybe just nine randon above out there
- 24:04Speaker 1: for your second man in. With a Rory mcabray lineup,
- 24:06Speaker 1: you're gonna have to play some guys that are sub
- 24:08Speaker 1: five percent owns by default because they're down there in
- 24:11Speaker 1: that six k range. So I actually think that's a
- 24:13Speaker 1: positive out there with Rory mcbray. I mentioned last week
- 24:16Speaker 1: with Scotty that sure it was gonna be super super
- 24:19Speaker 1: high owned out there in GPPs, but because of what
- 24:22Speaker 1: it forces you on too in the six k range,
- 24:25Speaker 1: that I actually thought you can make lineups with lower
- 24:27Speaker 1: ownership and lower product ownership out there with Scotty than
- 24:30Speaker 1: what you could do with lineups without him. And I
- 24:33Speaker 1: can tell you last week as somebody that played Scotty
- 24:35Speaker 1: in sixty five percent of my lineups.
- 24:37Speaker 2: That that was one hundred percent true. I had thirty
- 24:40Speaker 2: eight of my one hundred and fifty lineups as six
- 24:41Speaker 2: of six, so about five x the field when it
- 24:44Speaker 2: came to my six of six rate, and about half
- 24:46Speaker 2: of them were Scotty Scheffler lineups where my second man
- 24:49Speaker 2: in was like maybe eight grand, like maybe like eighty
- 24:51Speaker 2: two eighty three hundred dollars at the very most, and
- 24:54Speaker 2: then a bunch of six K, six K slap dicks
- 24:57Speaker 2: And guess what happened. Those slap dicks played really well
- 25:00Speaker 2: last week. Now, is that gonna happen every single time?
- 25:02Speaker 2: Absolutely not. But just because you're playing a Rory McRoy
- 25:06Speaker 2: and he's thirty five percent notes does not mean that
- 25:08Speaker 2: your lineup construction has to be a chocky lineup construction,
- 25:10Speaker 2: because I can guarantee you that if you are creative
- 25:13Speaker 2: about how you go out there and put together that lineup,
- 25:16Speaker 2: that you can find a way to get a loaned
- 25:18Speaker 2: combination out there with Rory McRoy at You want to
- 25:21Speaker 2: be very intentional with your six K seven K players
- 25:23Speaker 2: when you're playing that sort of lineup, because you can't
- 25:25Speaker 2: just use anyone down low, there are going to be
- 25:28Speaker 2: chockey guys down there in that six k range that
- 25:30Speaker 2: for example, Tom Hogy, who I saw a few people
- 25:34Speaker 2: in chat already kind of point out, and Eric Cole
- 25:36Speaker 2: here as well, are close to ten percent ownership out
- 25:39Speaker 2: there in GPPs. So maybe they're not the kind of
- 25:41Speaker 2: guys you want to play in that sort of lineup
- 25:44Speaker 2: where you're trying to.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Actively leverage towards the bottom end of the board. But
- 25:48Speaker 1: those are the pros and cons for a rory, right
- 25:49Speaker 1: you fade them. It's thirty five percent leverage. That is
- 25:52Speaker 1: a ton rate there. Unfortunately, the other side of it,
- 25:55Speaker 1: the pros to it are also just as strong. So
- 25:59Speaker 1: you know, I know that somebody asked right what I
- 26:01Speaker 1: was actually doing on it, But you guys got to remember,
- 26:03Speaker 1: I do have a website that I run for myself,
- 26:05Speaker 1: so it wouldn't be entirely fair for me to go
- 26:07Speaker 1: out there and completely spill the beans on every single
- 26:10Speaker 1: play that I'm either getting to or not getting to
- 26:12Speaker 1: for any given slate. But I hopefully I give you
- 26:15Speaker 1: guys a little game plan, then give you guys, you know,
- 26:17Speaker 1: some of the pros and cons to make that decision
- 26:19Speaker 1: for yourself, because I don't think that there's necessarily a
- 26:21Speaker 1: right or wrong answer there, Like as you could see,
- 26:24Speaker 1: I outlined some of the reasons out there for either
- 26:27Speaker 1: side of that argument. Just to pick a lane and
- 26:29Speaker 1: run with it. The one thing I would say that
- 26:30Speaker 1: you shouldn't do out there with Rory this week is
- 26:33Speaker 1: play them in like forty percent of lineups, like going
- 26:35Speaker 1: out there and matching the field, unless you're a win
- 26:37Speaker 1: fifty max player who has enough lineups to go out
- 26:41Speaker 1: there and play with that sort of portfolio get leverage
- 26:43Speaker 1: on Rory. So play them in like fifty percent plus
- 26:46Speaker 1: of your lineups, or play them in none, go out
- 26:49Speaker 1: there and fully fade them. That would be my main
- 26:50Speaker 1: piece of advice. And if you're only entering like twenty
- 26:53Speaker 1: lineups or you know, five to ten lineups out there
- 26:56Speaker 1: in GVPS and you're gonna play Rory, consider walking them
- 26:59Speaker 1: out there into those five to ten lineups. If you're
- 27:02Speaker 1: going to try and really make it counts out there
- 27:04Speaker 1: with somebody that's thirty five percent owns the only way
- 27:06Speaker 1: to really get leverage against the field, but just ten lineups,
- 27:09Speaker 1: especially like if you're going against one fifty maxers like
- 27:12Speaker 1: myself out there in that sort of contest is if
- 27:14Speaker 1: you lock somebody like Rory into every single lineup that
- 27:17Speaker 1: you're using.
- 27:17Speaker 2: So that's what I'll say about Rory up top.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Obviously a very polarizing player, I would say this week,
- 27:23Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of arguments four and against them
- 27:25Speaker 1: out there in lineups, and you know you're gonna have
- 27:27Speaker 1: to make that decision for yourself, I would say, alrighty.
- 27:31Speaker 2: So let's talk about the rest of the ownership up here.
- 27:33Speaker 1: So outside of Rory, it is pretty flat for these
- 27:37Speaker 1: guys in the nine to ten k range. You have
- 27:39Speaker 1: guys like more Kaba shaff Ley, it closer to eighteen
- 27:42Speaker 1: nineteen percent. I've got GT at about seventeen and a
- 27:44Speaker 1: half percent, So no one here over that twenty percent mark.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Oh bear slightly lower ownership because this form maybe isn't
- 27:51Speaker 1: a shark some of those other guys around him, guys
- 27:54Speaker 1: like Kenley as well, right, maybe a little bit more
- 27:56Speaker 1: overlooked than some of the other guys around him. But
- 27:58Speaker 1: even can't lay who's your highestoned player out there in
- 28:01Speaker 1: this range? Is only about on twenty percent owns. So
- 28:05Speaker 1: if you have guys in this range that you like that,
- 28:07Speaker 1: you wanted to go out there and bed out right
- 28:09Speaker 1: your quote unquote guys on a week like this, don't
- 28:12Speaker 1: be afraid to go out there and use them in lineups.
- 28:14Speaker 1: They're not the thirty five percent ownership that you have
- 28:16Speaker 1: there with a Rory wherever becomes a little bit more
- 28:18Speaker 1: of a game theory decision whether you're going to go
- 28:20Speaker 1: out there and use them out there in your lineups.
- 28:22Speaker 2: When you're comparing a.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Twenty percenter to a fifteen percenter over there with Obert,
- 28:26Speaker 1: this means next to nothing to me. And I think
- 28:28Speaker 1: the best way to show this to you guys is
- 28:31Speaker 1: it's a thirty percent difference in ownership, about thirty three
- 28:34Speaker 1: percent difference in ownership out there from Obert. It can't
- 28:37Speaker 1: lay right plus thirty three percent a plus thirty three
- 28:40Speaker 1: percent difference out here on Let's say, like a five
- 28:43Speaker 1: percent owned player, is them going from five to six
- 28:46Speaker 1: and a half percent owned, right? And I think most
- 28:48Speaker 1: people when they're playing pgdfasts right, they're looking at like
- 28:50Speaker 1: a six or seven K range player if somebody was
- 28:53Speaker 1: five percent owned, if somebody was six and a half
- 28:55Speaker 1: percent owned around them, they wouldn't care about that at all.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Because you shouldn't care about that. It's only a one
- 29:00Speaker 1: and a half percent difference in terms of the raw
- 29:03Speaker 1: actual difference. That change fifteen percent to twenty percent is
- 29:07Speaker 1: the same on a relative basis, and I think a
- 29:09Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize that when it comes to
- 29:12Speaker 1: the up top, and I actually kind of understand the
- 29:15Speaker 1: argument against that too, is because you actually are playing
- 29:17Speaker 1: against all those lineups out there in the GPP, right,
- 29:20Speaker 1: It isn't on a relative basis that you necessarily have
- 29:22Speaker 1: to compare them. But guys that go bear can't lay
- 29:25Speaker 1: like if you like, can't lay go out there and
- 29:26Speaker 1: play them. You like in Obeer this week, you go
- 29:28Speaker 1: out there and play them too. Same thing with your Xanders,
- 29:30Speaker 1: your more commas. I think where you really want to
- 29:32Speaker 1: start considering this ownership even more is when you get
- 29:35Speaker 1: down into that eight K range is where I'm really
- 29:37Speaker 1: starting to think about that game theory, and then especially
- 29:40Speaker 1: in that six and that seven K range. So that's
- 29:43Speaker 1: mostly the case there in the nine K range ak range,
- 29:46Speaker 1: as I said, it starts to spread out a little
- 29:47Speaker 1: bit more. You've got guys like mmbou lee at closer
- 29:49Speaker 1: to eight percent ownership. Sun Jay McNeely also not getting
- 29:53Speaker 1: a whole bunch of steam, whereas you're Daniel Berger's or
- 29:56Speaker 1: Corey Connors at about sixteen percent ownership, even a Victor
- 29:59Speaker 1: how Into he's at the bottom end of that nine
- 30:02Speaker 1: k range, but getting a little bit of steam. For
- 30:04Speaker 1: that portion of the board outside of like three guys
- 30:06Speaker 1: over here, it's relatively low in too players and some
- 30:10Speaker 1: even sub ten percent onto players, which we don't always
- 30:12Speaker 1: find over there in that eight k range. So I'm
- 30:15Speaker 1: still using my Kegan Bradley's of the world that might
- 30:17Speaker 1: be getting a little bit more steam, but there are
- 30:20Speaker 1: some lowan gems in my opinion on this portion of
- 30:22Speaker 1: the board, they're definitely worthy of some consideration. And when
- 30:26Speaker 1: I'll give you guys that you don't have on here
- 30:28Speaker 1: as a yes right now would be a math ocnely.
- 30:30Speaker 1: I'm playing them at sub ten percent ownership. We've seen
- 30:33Speaker 1: them compete in events like the Genesis this year, another
- 30:36Speaker 1: signature field event of course, that I really didn't even
- 30:39Speaker 1: think fit fit is game like. I like them at
- 30:41Speaker 1: courses that aren't super off the tea heavy and if
- 30:44Speaker 1: my narrative this week is that it's about the iron
- 30:46Speaker 1: play from one to seventy five, and in he's better
- 30:49Speaker 1: the closer he is to the hole when it comes
- 30:51Speaker 1: to his irons. He's also a really good bent grass
- 30:53Speaker 1: potter you could see gaining close to about a half
- 30:55Speaker 1: a stroke round. Then yeah, I'm gonna use that kind
- 30:57Speaker 1: of guy as my lowan to pivots this week because
- 31:00Speaker 1: he fits that sneaky narrative that I'm going out there
- 31:02Speaker 1: and trying to play. So that's an example of using
- 31:05Speaker 1: that game theory on this portion of the board, above
- 31:08Speaker 1: this portion, above this AK range. Though I don't want
- 31:11Speaker 1: to say I'm ignoring ownership, because there are some game
- 31:14Speaker 1: theory pivots that and one really big notable game theory
- 31:17Speaker 1: pivot that I'm making on a week like this. The
- 31:20Speaker 1: eight K range is where I'm really starting to incorporate
- 31:22Speaker 1: that though. So on top of that, guys do not
- 31:25Speaker 1: play Jason Day this week. As you guys can see
- 31:26Speaker 1: here he did withdraw from the event, which I think
- 31:29Speaker 1: you might see a few slapticks that still go out
- 31:31Speaker 1: there and throw them into lineups. But Patrick Rodgers' replacement
- 31:35Speaker 1: down here at the bottom has not been given a
- 31:37Speaker 1: price quite yet, so we are only going to have
- 31:40Speaker 1: what is it seventy one players that actually have a
- 31:43Speaker 1: price tag this week, not going to make a massive
- 31:46Speaker 1: impact when it comes to your strategy or anything like that,
- 31:48Speaker 1: But do you remember out there for a round two
- 31:50Speaker 1: showdown that you're probably going to be able to play
- 31:52Speaker 1: Patrick Rodgers for that kind of format. So unfortunate that
- 31:55Speaker 1: they didn't go out there and squeak them into the
- 31:57Speaker 1: player poll last second, because if they did, he would
- 31:59Speaker 1: be royally under owned. Because I had been checking all
- 32:02Speaker 1: week to see if they'd go out there and add
- 32:04Speaker 1: them to the mix ins. They never did, so I'm
- 32:06Speaker 1: sure that if they had gone out there and done
- 32:08Speaker 1: it late and there were probably sites that wouldn't have
- 32:10Speaker 1: caught that, and you might have gotten like a sub
- 32:13Speaker 1: one percent of Patrick Rodger's over there this week, but
- 32:15Speaker 1: unfortunately did not get our wish over there. From that,
- 32:19Speaker 1: Outside of that, towards the top though you can see
- 32:21Speaker 1: the rest of the ownership numbers here, it's a you
- 32:24Speaker 1: can still play your guys, so like, for example, if
- 32:26Speaker 1: you like a Victor Hobland, you like a Jordan Speed
- 32:29Speaker 1: at eighteen point six percent, I'll tell you that between
- 32:32Speaker 1: Hobland and Speed that at least one of these two
- 32:35Speaker 1: players is out there in my player pool. So it's
- 32:37Speaker 1: not like I think it's an automatic fade at the
- 32:39Speaker 1: sort of numbers. It's just that there's maybe a little
- 32:42Speaker 1: bit more opportunity to get that different differentiation and get
- 32:45Speaker 1: that leverage to the field. Some of the guys that
- 32:47Speaker 1: are a little bit cheaper here down here in this
- 32:49Speaker 1: seven K range is where the ownership really really starts
- 32:52Speaker 1: to spread out. And I am gonna bring up my
- 32:54Speaker 1: ownership on another tab just so I can kind of
- 32:56Speaker 1: point out some of the chalk in this range. I'm
- 32:58Speaker 1: going to avoid giving specific numbers just because they do
- 33:02Speaker 1: have to keep some of that for my paying members.
- 33:05Speaker 1: But guy said Wyndham Clark are getting some steam. I've
- 33:08Speaker 1: got him over ten percent ownership out there in a
- 33:10Speaker 1: week like this. I've got justin Rose who you can
- 33:12Speaker 1: see the ownership there at about eleven percent out there
- 33:15Speaker 1: in a week like this. Keith Mitchell getting some steam.
- 33:17Speaker 1: I know we mentioned that one a little bit earlier
- 33:19Speaker 1: at Taylor Pendrith getting some steam out there in GPPs
- 33:22Speaker 1: as well. Those kind of guys are eight percent plus
- 33:25Speaker 1: owned out there in every single case, some of them
- 33:27Speaker 1: ten percent plus os out there in GPPs, you've got
- 33:31Speaker 1: players in this seven k range, like, for example, I'll
- 33:34Speaker 1: just appointment out here will z al Torres, who's five
- 33:37Speaker 1: percent if not sub five percent owned. Out there in
- 33:40Speaker 1: some of those GPPs, you've got Rasmus Hoygard, who I've
- 33:43Speaker 1: got it sub five percent owns and now he's exactly
- 33:46Speaker 1: seven grands, so he started to get down towards the
- 33:48Speaker 1: bottom end of that seven k range. But when you
- 33:50Speaker 1: have players that are four to six percent owned priced
- 33:54Speaker 1: around guys that are twelve to fifteen percent owns, unless
- 33:57Speaker 1: you really like that player that's going to be twelve
- 33:59Speaker 1: to fIF teen percent owns, you're almost always want to
- 34:02Speaker 1: be taking some of these ownership pivots. And it doesn't
- 34:04Speaker 1: have to be that you're going to the most extreme
- 34:06Speaker 1: pivots in this portion of the board, the guys that
- 34:08Speaker 1: are closer to that three to four percent ownership mark.
- 34:11Speaker 1: But even going to just some slightly lower owned to
- 34:13Speaker 1: players that still project out well is a really good
- 34:16Speaker 1: idea out there in contest. So just to get back
- 34:18Speaker 1: to the tab where we can all share this together here,
- 34:21Speaker 1: like you're going to see guys like Aux shap Patia,
- 34:23Speaker 1: for example, I've got it slightly lower ownership than some
- 34:26Speaker 1: of the other guys around him, and like, for example,
- 34:28Speaker 1: he's lower owned than are Taylor Pendrith here, and I've
- 34:31Speaker 1: got him at about the same projection is what you
- 34:33Speaker 1: have there with Pendrith. So you know, if I think
- 34:35Speaker 1: that Pendrifth might even get steamed up a little bit
- 34:37Speaker 1: because of that Bomber narrative going around, then there's a
- 34:40Speaker 1: chance that this ownership difference between Okhay and Pendrith is
- 34:43Speaker 1: even larger.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Than what I end up thinking.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Now, you don't want to be doing this like when
- 34:46Speaker 1: it's like a one percent difference out there between player
- 34:49Speaker 1: to player, like we mentioned before, you want it to
- 34:53Speaker 1: be a significant difference out there from option to option.
- 34:56Speaker 1: So maybe like a five percenter compared to somebody that's
- 34:58Speaker 1: closer to like ten percent. But those are the kind
- 35:01Speaker 1: of game theory pivots that you want to be making
- 35:03Speaker 1: when we have no idea what to expect from this
- 35:05Speaker 1: golf course. And I mean we talk about this every
- 35:07Speaker 1: single week out here on tour, even when we know
- 35:09Speaker 1: the golf course that's at hand. But in the game theory,
- 35:12Speaker 1: in getting leveraged versus the rest of the field is
- 35:16Speaker 1: even more so important to go out there and do
- 35:18Speaker 1: when nobody knows what to expect from the venue. So
- 35:21Speaker 1: that's why I look for a lot of my ownership
- 35:23Speaker 1: pivots on this portion of the board, and acce Batia
- 35:25Speaker 1: would be an example of that.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Sort of guy.
- 35:27Speaker 1: And it's not like he has the best form or
- 35:29Speaker 1: anything like that, but if you go to the last
- 35:31Speaker 1: twenty four measured rounds, he's gaining on approaching, he's gaining
- 35:34Speaker 1: with the putter, and when you zoom in on the
- 35:36Speaker 1: proximity buckets for a NAXA, he's gaining from one hundred
- 35:38Speaker 1: and seventy five yards and then in most of those
- 35:40Speaker 1: proximity buckets, I think one of the buckets from what
- 35:43Speaker 1: to seventy five and in he was a slightly worse
- 35:45Speaker 1: than average player for the rest of them top fifty
- 35:47Speaker 1: out there on the PGA Tour. And then the putter
- 35:49Speaker 1: has also been a bright spot lately. And if I
- 35:51Speaker 1: think this is going to be a little bit of
- 35:52Speaker 1: a putting contest, a little bit of a birdie fest
- 35:55Speaker 1: around this kind of venue, I want guys that are
- 35:57Speaker 1: hot with the irons and hot with the putter, and
- 35:59Speaker 1: sure the other two cagories could be a little bit better,
- 36:01Speaker 1: but that's why he's going to be a little bit
- 36:03Speaker 1: lower owned than the guys around him. He doesn't have
- 36:05Speaker 1: the best form compared to let's say a Ben Griffin
- 36:08Speaker 1: who has a win over his last few starts at Pendrith,
- 36:11Speaker 1: who the form is actually only just about a half
- 36:13Speaker 1: a stroke better per round. But that half a stroke
- 36:15Speaker 1: difference is going to lead to a pretty decent gap
- 36:18Speaker 1: when it comes to that ownership there. And see, so
- 36:21Speaker 1: if you guys didn't see my video from earlier this week,
- 36:23Speaker 1: I do like McIntyre still. McIntyre, by the way, is
- 36:26Speaker 1: a relatively low and pivot that you can take in
- 36:28Speaker 1: that eight k range. So I know he was towards
- 36:30Speaker 1: the bottom there, so maybe skipped my eyes there at first,
- 36:33Speaker 1: But yeah, Robert McIntyre pivot that we can throw out
- 36:36Speaker 1: there as well. Rose I wouldn't consider a pivot, but
- 36:38Speaker 1: I still really do like him around this kind of event.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Reason for that, And then we mentioned some of the
- 36:43Speaker 1: accuracy first sort of players he fits that Henley Mold
- 36:45Speaker 1: really good approach play lately, amazing bent grass putting stats
- 36:49Speaker 1: gaining point six strokes bent grass putting per rounds and
- 36:52Speaker 1: if you go to the last twelve measured rounds, you'll
- 36:54Speaker 1: see that iron play that I was hinting at. He's
- 36:56Speaker 1: gaining over point seventy five shot skied approach out there
- 36:59Speaker 1: per round and has been solid elsewhere, only losing out
- 37:02Speaker 1: there around the green. So give me some Justin Rose around.
- 37:06Speaker 1: But I think isn't a super off the TA heavy
- 37:08Speaker 1: golf course. What else do we have here? So Matti
- 37:10Speaker 1: fits another low ones guy they can take here in
- 37:13Speaker 1: that six k range. Another example of these low ones
- 37:16Speaker 1: players that I'm looking for. Matti fits I thought was
- 37:18Speaker 1: a good course fit. If you guys saw my breakdown
- 37:20Speaker 1: earlier this week on my channel, he's somebody that's kind
- 37:23Speaker 1: of rounding in the form.
- 37:24Speaker 2: And I used kind of because it's a stretch to
- 37:27Speaker 2: say that he's rounding in the form.
- 37:29Speaker 1: But he has played better his last three four events
- 37:31Speaker 1: than he has the last year. Last year it's been
- 37:33Speaker 1: like all missed cuts. He has a few top twenty
- 37:35Speaker 1: five's lately, so that's why I say he's kind of
- 37:37Speaker 1: coming in the forum, but really good bent grass putting
- 37:40Speaker 1: stats just like you had there with the Justin Rose,
- 37:42Speaker 1: And if you remember, that's one of the things I'm
- 37:44Speaker 1: looking for this week also iron play from one hundred
- 37:47Speaker 1: and seventy five yards and inn. And while he's struggled
- 37:50Speaker 1: with the long irons at some of these more difficult
- 37:52Speaker 1: venues signature events that you've had this year, Matty Fits
- 37:55Speaker 1: has missed cuts or finished in like dead last out
- 37:58Speaker 1: there in some of these no cut events. You know
- 38:00Speaker 1: where he's been okay this year. And I'll stress okay
- 38:02Speaker 1: because as I've been great for Mattic Fits, he's been
- 38:04Speaker 1: okay from one hundred and seventy five yards and end.
- 38:06Speaker 1: So these are the kind of lower uned guys that
- 38:08Speaker 1: I'm getting to this week that one fit my narrative,
- 38:11Speaker 1: and of course are going to be lower uned than
- 38:13Speaker 1: some of the other guys around them. I've also got
- 38:15Speaker 1: a Max Grazeman out there in some lineups, a little
- 38:17Speaker 1: bit of a different idea out here with Max.
- 38:20Speaker 2: This isn't a course fit play with Max Grazerman. This
- 38:22Speaker 2: is all about the upside in his burdier better percentage.
- 38:25Speaker 2: He's a long player off the tee.
- 38:27Speaker 1: So I guess if you're a bomber guy, you could
- 38:28Speaker 1: play Max Graseman and have even more faith in him
- 38:31Speaker 1: out there in your lineups. But he's a high birdy
- 38:33Speaker 1: guy because of how well he puts the ball, and
- 38:35Speaker 1: he's also a player that can take advantage of the
- 38:37Speaker 1: par fives and you can see it. I guess an
- 38:38Speaker 1: add a little bonus over here. He's the best vent
- 38:41Speaker 1: grass putter that we have in the field, gaining just
- 38:43Speaker 1: under a stroke per round over there on the vent
- 38:46Speaker 1: grass surface. So you know, if I'm running that out
- 38:49Speaker 1: there as my narrative for the week, I can get
- 38:50Speaker 1: them at sub five percent ownership. These are the kind
- 38:53Speaker 1: of pivots I'm taking down here in that six k range.
- 38:55Speaker 1: It compared to your eric closer Tom Hogies, who I
- 38:58Speaker 1: have it closer to six seven say ownership this week,
- 39:01Speaker 1: that's nearly half the ownership if you get to a Fits,
- 39:03Speaker 1: nearly half the ownership if you go down to a
- 39:05Speaker 1: Max Grazeman. And in my opinion, those are the kind
- 39:07Speaker 1: of ownership pivots that you should be thinking about on
- 39:10Speaker 1: this sort of week. And it doesn't have to be
- 39:12Speaker 1: Grazman or Matty Fits that you use. There are other
- 39:14Speaker 1: guys in this range. They're also low owned. For example,
- 39:17Speaker 1: like no one's gonna use Homa. Maybe that's for the
- 39:19Speaker 1: best because he sucks now. He you know, even lost
- 39:22Speaker 1: his caddie at this point. So maybe he's not the
- 39:24Speaker 1: best pivot to play down here.
- 39:26Speaker 2: But like in Adam Scott, maybe he's in a few
- 39:29Speaker 2: my bills this week. Maybe I'm hinting at that, maybe
- 39:32Speaker 2: a Lucas Glover could make some sense as a pivot.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Good ball striking stats, right, not the best potter. Now,
- 39:38Speaker 2: if you're like the if you're looking at the birdy of.
- 39:40Speaker 1: Better stuff in a putting contest, maybe you don't love
- 39:43Speaker 1: Lucas Glover here, But there are guys in this range
- 39:45Speaker 1: that are guys that aren't terrible players, Like you're going
- 39:48Speaker 1: from guys that are better plays. That's why they're chalk
- 39:51Speaker 1: out there in contest the guys that are slightly worst plays.
- 39:54Speaker 1: But it's like comparing shit to shit. Right, you're in
- 39:56Speaker 1: the six k range down here for a reason. You're
- 39:58Speaker 1: not finding the nine k ten K guys that go
- 40:01Speaker 1: bear at this portion of the board. If you have
- 40:03Speaker 1: half the ownership on guys that are even competent plays
- 40:07Speaker 1: down here in this portion of the board, you should
- 40:09Speaker 1: be highly considering making that pivot.
- 40:11Speaker 2: And then the last guy I'm going to throw out here.
- 40:13Speaker 1: Just to give you some perspective, is what I'm looking
- 40:15Speaker 1: for out there, and players, it'd be a Cam Davis,
- 40:17Speaker 1: who is another one of these high upside players. In fact,
- 40:20Speaker 1: just to give you an idea of how high upside
- 40:21Speaker 1: he is, he's the number three birdier, better percentage player
- 40:24Speaker 1: and all the PGA Tour. Number one is Roring, Number
- 40:27Speaker 1: two is Scottie Shuffler. Number three is Cameron Davis. So
- 40:30Speaker 1: if you're looking for somebody that can go out there
- 40:32Speaker 1: and outscore their placement, you're not going to find any
- 40:34Speaker 1: better player down here at this portion of the board.
- 40:37Speaker 1: He's also okayn vent Grass. He is a slight positive
- 40:39Speaker 1: out there putting on vent and last week he had
- 40:42Speaker 1: one of his better starts of the year out there
- 40:44Speaker 1: at an easier golf course. So it's not the best
- 40:47Speaker 1: course fit on paper. I mean, I didn't even say
- 40:49Speaker 1: the same thing with Brazerman other than the putting out
- 40:51Speaker 1: there with the vent Grass putting stats, but give me
- 40:53Speaker 1: these guys that make a whole bunch of birdies on
- 40:56Speaker 1: what should be a soft and gettable golf course. So
- 40:59Speaker 1: hopefully it gives you guys a little bit of perspective
- 41:00Speaker 1: into what I'm looking for out there and players. And again,
- 41:03Speaker 1: if you agree with these takes on guys, feel free
- 41:05Speaker 1: to go ahead and use them yourself. If you don't, though,
- 41:08Speaker 1: there are plenty of other pivots you can take at
- 41:10Speaker 1: this portion of the board that aren't going to be
- 41:12Speaker 1: as mega choky as some of the others. And I'm
- 41:14Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and look at my other sheet once
- 41:16Speaker 1: again and show you some of the.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Chop in this range.
- 41:21Speaker 1: So for example, down there in that six k range,
- 41:23Speaker 1: I've got EVR as your highest stoned guide that is
- 41:26Speaker 1: under sixty five hundred dollars. I've got Michael Thorbjornsen getting
- 41:30Speaker 1: a little bit more ownership then I would like. Down
- 41:33Speaker 1: there in this range, I've got Ryan Gerard I already
- 41:35Speaker 1: mentioned Hogi and Cole also getting a little bit of
- 41:38Speaker 1: steam there. Outside of those five maybe six players, the
- 41:42Speaker 1: rest of the six k range is like two three percenters.
- 41:45Speaker 1: Like especially the bottom end of the six k range,
- 41:48Speaker 1: you've got a whole bunch of players that you can
- 41:50Speaker 1: take a sub three percent if you're starting with a
- 41:52Speaker 1: rory lineup and you have to get different off that
- 41:55Speaker 1: thirty five percent, and especially if you use another spend
- 41:58Speaker 1: up to really force yourself down here in the six
- 42:01Speaker 1: k range, You're gonna have plenty of options to go
- 42:04Speaker 1: out there and make that happen. So that's what I'll
- 42:07Speaker 1: say about the bottom end of the board here. And yeah,
- 42:09Speaker 1: some ideas for players to go out there and consider
- 42:12Speaker 1: as well. Let me catch up on any player pool
- 42:14Speaker 1: questions that you've got, then going to hop over to
- 42:16Speaker 1: DraftKings for a last second look at some of the
- 42:18Speaker 1: DFS stuff. So the thoughts on Brian Campbell. So Campbell's
- 42:22Speaker 1: ownership is extremely low, he's also nearly min price, in
- 42:25Speaker 1: fact's exactly at that min price of six thousand dollars.
- 42:29Speaker 1: And if it is going to be a golf course
- 42:31Speaker 1: where you don't have to be a bomber off the tee,
- 42:33Speaker 1: then that would play directly into his skill set. So
- 42:36Speaker 1: if you are somebody that's playing that narrative this week,
- 42:38Speaker 1: I don't think it's the worst idea to play a
- 42:40Speaker 1: Brian Campbell. Full transparency, I don't think he's my favorite play.
- 42:43Speaker 1: I'm not using him out there in my lineups myself,
- 42:46Speaker 1: but he's especially like if if you're looking for guys
- 42:50Speaker 1: down here to fit that narrative, he's like him maybe
- 42:55Speaker 1: a Chris Kirk, maybe a Nick Taylor would be some
- 43:00Speaker 1: of your like more positional drivers down low. I'm more
- 43:03Speaker 1: on these like high upside guys, kind of like the
- 43:05Speaker 1: Cameron Davis as the Max Grazeman's of the world. When
- 43:07Speaker 1: I get to the player deep dives, could we look
- 43:09Speaker 1: up Fagala, Woodland and had Win. Absolutely, so let's start
- 43:12Speaker 1: with Thigala. So Figala's price tag is part of the
- 43:15Speaker 1: deep dive that we have to do here because there's
- 43:17Speaker 1: a reason why he's at sixty nine hundred dollars right now,
- 43:20Speaker 1: having his best season so far, missing a lot of cuts,
- 43:23Speaker 1: which isn't really what we're used to seeing from saw Hith. However,
- 43:26Speaker 1: if we go to the last twelve measured rounds, he's
- 43:29Speaker 1: not that far off, like he's gaining on approach. It's
- 43:32Speaker 1: the short game that's really been holding a saw Hith back.
- 43:34Speaker 1: So that price tag is real juicy at sixty nine
- 43:37Speaker 1: hundred dollars. I do think that he's gonna get clicked
- 43:39Speaker 1: this week just because of that.
- 43:41Speaker 2: So he's not.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Gonna be like sub five percent owned or anything like
- 43:44Speaker 1: that at that kind of number. But I like him
- 43:46Speaker 1: quite a bit, especially if you're a large held GPP.
- 43:49Speaker 1: And then he got what Woodland and Hadwin is the
- 43:51Speaker 1: other two? Let's see, so Woodland had to take a
- 43:54Speaker 1: week off. My main concern with Woodland would be the
- 43:56Speaker 1: health and why he had to withdraw. But before he
- 43:59Speaker 1: withdrew with the last event at the Byron Nelson, he
- 44:01Speaker 1: was one of my favorite plays for that week. And
- 44:03Speaker 1: it's because of this form. He's losing around the green.
- 44:06Speaker 1: The other three categories that we care about the most
- 44:08Speaker 1: this week lights out over here in that six k range.
- 44:11Speaker 1: So the Gary Woodland deep dive is that he's super cheap.
- 44:14Speaker 1: Stats look amazing. It's just that we have no idea
- 44:17Speaker 1: how the health is really holding up for him. And
- 44:19Speaker 1: then the last one was who had win It'd be
- 44:22Speaker 1: the last one to go through here, So Hadwin losing
- 44:26Speaker 1: on approach to losing about point six strokes per round,
- 44:30Speaker 1: neutral off the tee, gaining around the green, and then
- 44:32Speaker 1: losing with the putter.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Hmmm, he's like a four out of ten.
- 44:37Speaker 1: The other two are kind of like though mad has
- 44:39Speaker 1: been killing these elevated events too, that aren't majors of
- 44:41Speaker 1: the players.
- 44:42Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean Genesis, he popped off. He popped
- 44:44Speaker 2: at API.
- 44:46Speaker 1: If he does it again, I'll be glad because I
- 44:48Speaker 1: think he's going to be low owned as well. He said,
- 44:50Speaker 1: Gary withdrawed on us last week. Pittsburgh guy seems like
- 44:52Speaker 1: he could be a good fit for this course too. Yeah,
- 44:55Speaker 1: so I hope that he plays well, just because I'm
- 44:57Speaker 1: a huge fan of Gary Woodland.
- 44:59Speaker 2: But that injury stuff is kind of scaring me.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Man. I'm just I'm not exactly sure why he withdrew.
- 45:04Speaker 1: I'm not sure if we had an exact word on it.
- 45:06Speaker 2: I know it was health based. They said it was
- 45:08Speaker 2: some sort of an injury that Cosmo to withdraw, which
- 45:11Speaker 2: is why I have some concern.
- 45:12Speaker 1: He said, you ask draftings support earlier, said Rogers would
- 45:15Speaker 1: not be added, Dude, he would have been such a good.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Lowan to play.
- 45:18Speaker 1: And I can tell you now there will be showdown
- 45:20Speaker 1: sites out there that don't put him in their round
- 45:22Speaker 1: two stuff. Maybe we can find the edge that way
- 45:25Speaker 1: out there on a Lowan Patti Rodgers. And then he said,
- 45:27Speaker 1: thoughts on Harmon and female see a Brian Harmon. Man,
- 45:30Speaker 1: He's been playing some golf lately, So to give you
- 45:32Speaker 1: the shots gain to Brian Harmon, you could see they're
- 45:35Speaker 1: gaining in every category but off the tee, and it
- 45:37Speaker 1: is aggressive shots gained out there in all these different categories,
- 45:41Speaker 1: especially if you're a believer in the shorter course kind
- 45:44Speaker 1: of stuff, thinking that you don't have to be a
- 45:46Speaker 1: bomber to find success. Brian Harmon's the kind of player
- 45:49Speaker 1: that you're gonna see me on and I'll just say it,
- 45:51Speaker 1: I'm using them out there in some lineups this week
- 45:53Speaker 1: because he fits that narrative that I'm looking for. Then
- 45:55Speaker 1: the other one was female, right, female good ball striking
- 45:58Speaker 1: stats not so good out there but the short game.
- 46:01Speaker 1: But Tony Feinw is streaky when it comes to this
- 46:04Speaker 1: short game categories. Oftentimes I'll pop out of nowhere to
- 46:06Speaker 1: go out there and gain three four shots gained on
- 46:08Speaker 1: the greens, and when he does, he's oftentimes in contention
- 46:11Speaker 1: to go out.
- 46:12Speaker 2: There and win.
- 46:12Speaker 1: So yeah, Bryan Harmon's like a seven out of ten
- 46:16Speaker 1: this stat profile, especially because what you guys know, I
- 46:19Speaker 1: think about the golf course, I'm not against it at all.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Then yeah, Tony Fenw, I'm always a good ball striking guy,
- 46:25Speaker 1: always looking for those ball striking candidates. And then he said,
- 46:27Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of pissed about it.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, man.
- 46:30Speaker 1: You'd think the DraftKings' intern's going to go out there
- 46:31Speaker 1: and add a few guys to the player pool. But
- 46:34Speaker 1: I guess we're asking too much from them at this point.
- 46:36Speaker 1: They haven't set the bar too high when it comes
- 46:38Speaker 1: to their expectations. All right, let's talk about this contest selection.
- 46:43Speaker 1: So I don't have much to say about the contest
- 46:46Speaker 1: selection other than that's pretty typical for what we get
- 46:49Speaker 1: for these main slates, other than that this might overlay,
- 46:51Speaker 1: and if it does, it's going to be pretty sweet.
- 46:54Speaker 1: So this is the three dollars when fifty max something
- 46:56Speaker 1: that they've been experimenting on the last few weeks. It's
- 46:59Speaker 1: a really good payoffstructure. It's ten percent to first and
- 47:02Speaker 1: it's pretty flat afterwards as well. Out there, but the
- 47:04Speaker 1: rest of the top ten, and if it overlays you
- 47:07Speaker 1: it's see there's still like fifty something thousand injuries that
- 47:10Speaker 1: they've got to go out there and get into this.
- 47:12Speaker 1: So it's less than a halfway full, less than a
- 47:15Speaker 1: day out there before lock. This is a contest that
- 47:17Speaker 1: all of you should be going out there and max entering.
- 47:19Speaker 1: And I know now that I set that that's probably
- 47:21Speaker 1: going to jump up in entries over the next few hours.
- 47:24Speaker 2: But it's true.
- 47:24Speaker 1: It's a good payout structure, but overlays that'll be even
- 47:27Speaker 1: better out there for the community. But outside of that,
- 47:29Speaker 1: you can see I max entered that. I also max
- 47:32Speaker 1: entered the Big Drive the Green this week over there,
- 47:34Speaker 1: but the one fifty max. The rest of my exposure
- 47:36Speaker 1: on top of that is all single entries, So one
- 47:37Speaker 1: hundred dollars single entries, thirty three dollars, twelve dollars, five
- 47:40Speaker 1: dollars single entries, going out there and sprinkling some exposure.
- 47:44Speaker 1: And for a lot of you guys out there, like
- 47:45Speaker 1: your average PGADFS hobbyist, you should be looking at a
- 47:48Speaker 1: lot of those single entry contests because you're playing against
- 47:51Speaker 1: people that can't win fifty max against you a lot
- 47:54Speaker 1: flatter payout structures and what you have in some of
- 47:56Speaker 1: those GPPs, and like even this Drive the Green that
- 47:58Speaker 1: I'm playing in is super heavy. It's a fourth to
- 48:01Speaker 1: first place. That's why if you're gonna want fifty max
- 48:04Speaker 1: on a week like this, do it in the three
- 48:05Speaker 1: dollars one fifty max. Like that contest is absolutely nutted.
- 48:08Speaker 1: These kind of contests should be reserved for the pros
- 48:11Speaker 1: like myself that are playing these contests every single week
- 48:14Speaker 1: that can fully afford to go out there and win
- 48:16Speaker 1: fifty max that I have a long term mindset when
- 48:19Speaker 1: it comes to banking these things, because unless you're finishing
- 48:21Speaker 1: first place or getting you know, second prize over there
- 48:24Speaker 1: with twenty thousand dollars, long term, you're gonna be a
- 48:26Speaker 1: loser in these sort of contests, and not even just
- 48:28Speaker 1: a loser, you're going to be a big loser. And
- 48:31Speaker 1: these sort of contests because they have some of the
- 48:33Speaker 1: highest break of the GPPs that they have on the site,
- 48:36Speaker 1: and you have to beat a lot more people than
- 48:38Speaker 1: what you have in those other contests. Right, it's a
- 48:40Speaker 1: lot harder, and it's it's pretty intuitive, but I'll point
- 48:43Speaker 1: it out just in case it wasn't. It's a lot
- 48:45Speaker 1: harder to beat fifty thousand other people than it is
- 48:48Speaker 1: to beat like a couple hundred people in a single entry.
- 48:51Speaker 1: And sure you might have less chances to go out
- 48:53Speaker 1: there and take it down, but a lot of people
- 48:55Speaker 1: out there that are watching content like this aren't even
- 48:58Speaker 1: won fifty maxing a contest like this. For example, they'll
- 49:00Speaker 1: take twenty lineups in this contest one hundred dollars, put
- 49:03Speaker 1: it out here into the big five dollars GPP into
- 49:06Speaker 1: a lot of times, you're just burning that money on
- 49:08Speaker 1: fire because you're playing against one fifty maxers like myself.
- 49:11Speaker 1: You're playing against fifty thousand entries with just a small
- 49:14Speaker 1: portfolio of lineups. I would much rather people watching this
- 49:17Speaker 1: go out there and take that one hundred dollars, or
- 49:19Speaker 1: there's twenty lineups that you might put in the five
- 49:20Speaker 1: dollars and just give me one hundred dollars single entry,
- 49:23Speaker 1: or enter the thirty three dollars single entry, twelve dollars
- 49:26Speaker 1: single century, five dollars cingleunury, and that's fifty dollars right there,
- 49:29Speaker 1: And maybe you can find the secondaries for the thirty
- 49:32Speaker 1: three dollars twelve and five single entries, and you can
- 49:35Speaker 1: do one hundred dollars that way and go out there
- 49:37Speaker 1: and enter lineups, and that way you can still have
- 49:39Speaker 1: a bunch of lineups, or you can still have in
- 49:41Speaker 1: that case, six lineups out there with your one hundred
- 49:43Speaker 1: dollars if you double it up out there on those
- 49:45Speaker 1: smaller GPPs.
- 49:46Speaker 2: But that is a much. It's not even close. It's
- 49:48Speaker 2: like a ten times better strategy long term than going
- 49:51Speaker 2: out there and entering these big GPPs.
- 49:53Speaker 1: So if you have the bankroll for it, if you're
- 49:55Speaker 1: somebody that's willing to have the ups and downs that
- 49:58Speaker 1: are included with entering some of these big GPPs, then
- 50:01Speaker 1: go for I do. That's this is my thing. I
- 50:04Speaker 1: play pgadfs every single week. I've got some big weeks
- 50:07Speaker 1: that I have every single year, and I have a
- 50:09Speaker 1: lot of weeks where I lose money out there on
- 50:10Speaker 1: those sort of contests. I'm super transparent about that. I
- 50:13Speaker 1: used to do review shows every single week where I
- 50:15Speaker 1: showed exactly how much I was winning and losing every
- 50:18Speaker 1: single week. Those kind of contests, you kind of got
- 50:20Speaker 1: to know what you're signing up for before you go
- 50:21Speaker 1: out there and enter them. Itt Maybe you didn't know
- 50:23Speaker 1: that about entering them. Maybe you're new to the space,
- 50:25Speaker 1: or you hadn't really thought about the payout structures of
- 50:28Speaker 1: some of these different kind of contests. And by the way,
- 50:30Speaker 1: this same trap is even worse when it comes to
- 50:32Speaker 1: the top end payout. It's a little bit more than
- 50:34Speaker 1: a fourth that they're giving out there to first place,
- 50:37Speaker 1: and I mean, look how far it drops off after
- 50:39Speaker 1: third place. You're down to the second place of the
- 50:41Speaker 1: five dollars GPP and to max enter this for twenty
- 50:44Speaker 1: five dollars, right, it's nearly four thousand dollars that you're
- 50:46Speaker 1: going out there and entering. So unless you have that
- 50:49Speaker 1: sort of BANKRLL like I mean, if I wanted to
- 50:51Speaker 1: this week, I could go out there and max enter this.
- 50:53Speaker 2: Right, I've got twelve grand in my DraftKings account right now,
- 50:56Speaker 2: I'm not doing that.
- 50:57Speaker 1: I don't see a reason to go out there and
- 50:59Speaker 1: do so so with this kind of payout structure. Now,
- 51:02Speaker 1: if it was a million dollar contest and it was
- 51:05Speaker 1: one hundred thousand in the first place, and you know
- 51:07Speaker 1: second through tenth were reasonable when it comes to that
- 51:10Speaker 1: payout structure, then maybe I would go out there and
- 51:12Speaker 1: max enter that. But you're not gonna see that for
- 51:14Speaker 1: me on a week like this in terms of lineup construction.
- 51:16Speaker 2: This week, it is all about the lineup, all about ownership.
- 51:19Speaker 1: For me. I'm not playing weather at all, which is
- 51:21Speaker 1: the two hour spread on tea times. I might be
- 51:23Speaker 1: going out there and stacking skill sets and some of
- 51:25Speaker 1: my single entries like maybe taking a bomber lineup, maybe
- 51:28Speaker 1: taking a lineup with just accuracy guys, maybe taking a
- 51:31Speaker 1: lineup with just guys that are good bent grass putters.
- 51:33Speaker 1: But a majority of my lineups is just making sure
- 51:35Speaker 1: that I have enough leverage out there involved, So to
- 51:38Speaker 1: show you that we're gonna build a line up here
- 51:40Speaker 1: together that is, you know, let's assume it's out there
- 51:42Speaker 1: for the big twenty five dollars GPP, that we're just
- 51:44Speaker 1: going over there for the contest selection segment. Let's build
- 51:47Speaker 1: a lineup for that. So let's do one with Rory,
- 51:50Speaker 1: and then we're gonna do one without Rory afterwards. So
- 51:52Speaker 1: the one with Rory, the reason why I want to
- 51:54Speaker 1: do this is just to show you where if you
- 51:56Speaker 1: take him plus another spend up, it kind of forces
- 51:58Speaker 1: you towards.
- 51:59Speaker 2: The bottom end of the boards. So I'm gonna throw
- 52:01Speaker 2: in a Rory.
- 52:02Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna throw into Patrick Can'tley as my second
- 52:04Speaker 1: man in I'm not playing Rory this week. I guess
- 52:07Speaker 1: I'll just say it flat out. I'm fading them this week.
- 52:09Speaker 1: If it burns me, it burns me, so be it.
- 52:10Speaker 1: I'm not playing a thirty five percent once player that
- 52:13Speaker 1: I think is a loser and doesn't fit the golf course.
- 52:15Speaker 1: So if it's start with super Choky Rory as our
- 52:18Speaker 1: first man in, let's go with Can'tley as our second man.
- 52:20Speaker 1: In super Chalky, I get twenty percent as your second
- 52:23Speaker 1: man in here.
- 52:24Speaker 2: This isn't the end of the world if you want
- 52:26Speaker 2: to start with these two players.
- 52:27Speaker 1: I obviously am not gonna have this exact combination out
- 52:30Speaker 1: there into any sort of GPPs this week. But if
- 52:32Speaker 1: you did, you could still get all the different differentiation
- 52:35Speaker 1: that you need out there with your last four spots.
- 52:37Speaker 1: Because you can see over here now we're down to
- 52:40Speaker 1: just seventy one to twenty five remaining per player, So
- 52:42Speaker 1: you're gonna have to have like one more seven k
- 52:44Speaker 1: guy that you go out here and throw in here.
- 52:46Speaker 1: But maybe you avoid the Justin Roses that are like
- 52:48Speaker 1: twelve percent owns. Maybe you avoid some of the guys
- 52:51Speaker 1: that are closer to like eight to ten percent owns
- 52:53Speaker 1: as well, and you consider a pivot like a tony
- 52:55Speaker 1: feet now instead where you're getting slightly lower ownership and
- 52:58Speaker 1: you're getting somebody that is sub seven percent owns instead
- 53:01Speaker 1: of taking let's say a chalkier player like a Pendrith
- 53:04Speaker 1: or even Botsia.
- 53:05Speaker 2: I've got Boti at like seven percent.
- 53:07Speaker 1: Maybe that's where you force in a lower uns will
- 53:09Speaker 1: Zaltaurus to go out there and offset some of that ownership.
- 53:12Speaker 2: So it's not who you play, right.
- 53:14Speaker 1: You can use Rory even at thirty five percent, as
- 53:17Speaker 1: long as you're making these kind of ownership decisions further
- 53:19Speaker 1: down the board. So you know, Erasmus would be a
- 53:22Speaker 1: super low owned player. Now, what I don't like about
- 53:24Speaker 1: using Rory and then especially like can't lay as the
- 53:26Speaker 1: second man in if you're gonna use Rory is it does?
- 53:29Speaker 1: It does kind of force your hand down here. You're
- 53:31Speaker 1: not able to play some of the better plays in
- 53:33Speaker 1: the seven K range because of the kind of ownership
- 53:35Speaker 1: that they have behind them. But it's not impossible to
- 53:38Speaker 1: go out there and make that kind of lineup work.
- 53:40Speaker 1: So that would be a Rory McInroy lineup where you're
- 53:43Speaker 1: really getting most of your differentiation down towards the bottom
- 53:46Speaker 1: end of the board. The other aspect would be if
- 53:48Speaker 1: you went off of a Rory McRory, you are going
- 53:50Speaker 1: to be a little bit more balanced and some of
- 53:52Speaker 1: your leverage might come in the eight k range in
- 53:54Speaker 1: this sort of lineup. So let's start with A Xander
- 53:56Speaker 1: as our first man. In.
- 53:57Speaker 2: Second man in, we're going to use a Henley.
- 53:59Speaker 1: It's this is going to be partial leverage there, right, Like,
- 54:02Speaker 1: even he's a little bit lower owned than some of
- 54:04Speaker 1: the other guys around him, we're going to throw into
- 54:06Speaker 1: McNeely to this lineup. They're eighty three hundred dollars, also
- 54:09Speaker 1: a little bit lower owned than some of the other
- 54:11Speaker 1: players around them, and now we're at about like seventy.
- 54:13Speaker 2: Four hundred remaining.
- 54:14Speaker 1: So you know, if he really wanted to play ros,
- 54:16Speaker 1: you could still probably make it work in this kind
- 54:18Speaker 1: of lineup as long as your last two players here
- 54:21Speaker 1: or where you're getting that sort of leverage. So for
- 54:23Speaker 1: the sake of this, we're not going to take justin Rose, just.
- 54:26Speaker 2: Because if we did that, it was going to force
- 54:27Speaker 2: us onto the same sort of pivots that we had
- 54:29Speaker 2: in that other lineup. And I want to show you
- 54:31Speaker 2: where you can get different on a different portion of
- 54:33Speaker 2: the board. So let's go up here and find a
- 54:35Speaker 2: pivot in this top end of the seven K range.
- 54:38Speaker 2: There's not a lot of guys that I would consider
- 54:39Speaker 2: pivots on this portion of the board.
- 54:41Speaker 1: But remember Robert, Robert McIntyre that I was talking about before,
- 54:45Speaker 1: or he's like five percent owns and he's eight thousand dollars.
- 54:48Speaker 1: So a way to get different might be to spend
- 54:49Speaker 1: up a little bit right from a Justin Rose, get
- 54:51Speaker 1: to that sub five percent player, because not only are
- 54:54Speaker 1: we getting lower raw ownership going from a Rose to
- 54:57Speaker 1: a McIntyre, but it's also changing up our lineup construction
- 55:00Speaker 1: a little bit. It's making us go a little bit
- 55:01Speaker 1: further down the board. Our next man in here, Maybe
- 55:04Speaker 1: we go out there and we throw a bot to
- 55:05Speaker 1: you there, and then your last man in here.
- 55:07Speaker 2: As long as they aren't.
- 55:08Speaker 1: Over five to six percent owns, you're probably smooth sailing
- 55:12Speaker 1: with this kind of build in any contest that you're entering.
- 55:14Speaker 1: If this was a single entry, a smaller field GPP
- 55:17Speaker 1: as opposed to like that big five dollars twenty five
- 55:19Speaker 1: dollars GPP, then you would for sure be fine out
- 55:22Speaker 1: there and those sort of contests. So that's what I've
- 55:24Speaker 1: got out there from the lineup construction segment, going out
- 55:27Speaker 1: there and making sure that you have enough leverage so
- 55:29Speaker 1: that first off, you can move up in the GPPs
- 55:31Speaker 1: if you end up getting your place correct, but also
- 55:33Speaker 1: say that you're not duplicating yourself out there with any
- 55:36Speaker 1: other lineups. But that's all I've got out here for
- 55:38Speaker 1: the DFS live stream this week. Hopefully I feel a
- 55:40Speaker 1: little bit more prepared for all the contests, all the
- 55:42Speaker 1: sort of lineups that you're going out there and entering,
- 55:44Speaker 1: and I could see you guys out there towards.
- 55:46Speaker 2: The top of some of those GPPs. It should be
- 55:48Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
- 55:48Speaker 1: We've got a full field event of brand new golf
- 55:50Speaker 1: course to go out there and break down, and of
- 55:52Speaker 1: course for rounds two through four showdown.
- 55:53Speaker 2: We're doing the live streams over here on the ship

- 57:00Speaker 1: Best luck with everything that you guys are going with,
- 57:02Speaker 1: and we'll see if there's any last second questions though,
- 57:04Speaker 1: before we hop them out of here, he said, you
- 57:08Speaker 1: heard that mav is striping it same as Keegans and Hoblin.
- 57:12Speaker 1: I like to hear that in all three of them.
- 57:14Speaker 1: I like all three of those players, so good stuff, man,
- 57:17Speaker 1: he said, Can I rank Connors, Burger or Lowry for
- 57:19Speaker 1: a small single entry? So smaller single entry, I don't
- 57:23Speaker 1: think we have to obsess about the ownership with those
- 57:25Speaker 1: three players, and they're all in good form, especially Connors,
- 57:30Speaker 1: so he's in the best form of those three players.
- 57:32Speaker 1: Burger's in solid form himself there. If I had to
- 57:36Speaker 1: rank the three, especially taking the ownership out of it,
- 57:40Speaker 1: because it is in that small single entry and it's
- 57:42Speaker 1: not the biggest deal, I would go Burger, Connors than Lowry.
- 57:46Speaker 1: If I was in a GPP, I would go lower
- 57:49Speaker 1: Burger than Connors. Lowery would actually go to number one
- 57:52Speaker 1: in a GPP because he's the lowest zones out of
- 57:55Speaker 1: those three. But you're in a single entry, so don't
- 57:57Speaker 1: worry about it. And he said, thanks, Luke, let's climb
- 57:59Speaker 1: those leader words.
- 58:00Speaker 2: Amen to that.
- 58:01Speaker 1: It's going on Angelina. Of course France appreciate the kind
- 58:04Speaker 1: of words down there. And yeah, big loop gang man,
- 58:07Speaker 1: let's get after it this week. But that's all I got, guys.
- 58:09Speaker 1: The best luck out there with all the exposure that
- 58:11Speaker 1: you guys are getting to and I see you guys
- 58:13Speaker 1: for those live streams throughout the weekend.
