Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: All systems go clear. Good afternoon, Happy Monday. Another week
- 0:36Speaker 1: of PGA Tour, DFS, PGA Tour content and everything in between.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Shimer Nation is not gonna take any weeks off outside
- 0:43Speaker 1: of the Zerich. We might take the Zurich off, but
- 0:46Speaker 1: hopefully you guys aren't feeling too much of a major hangover.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Let me know what you thought in the comments, like
- 0:52Speaker 1: your final overall take scale of one to ten, US Open, Shinnacock,
- 0:59Speaker 1: I'm giving it a strong eight point eight, a strong
- 1:02Speaker 1: a point eight. I thought it was drama till the end,
- 1:05Speaker 1: a lot of fun. We saw different days, different types
- 1:09Speaker 1: of scoring. We saw a low round or two, we
- 1:11Speaker 1: saw some carnage. You can't you can't beat it in
- 1:14Speaker 1: my opinion, Yeah, like is the occasional plus one winning
- 1:19Speaker 1: score twenty eighteen? Chcock cool? We weren't gonna get that.
- 1:23Speaker 1: We were not gonna get that. What was doing? He
- 1:25Speaker 1: score five under four under? I thought it was gonna
- 1:27Speaker 1: be four under before the week started, nailed the handicap,
- 1:30Speaker 1: So hopefully you guys cash and su regard. I didn't
- 1:32Speaker 1: have my best DFS or betting week, but it was
- 1:35Speaker 1: a great watch, so nonetheless I am happy ready to
- 1:38Speaker 1: talk Travelers Championship TPC River Highlands a golf course we
- 1:42Speaker 1: see year in, year out, a golf course we are very,
- 1:45Speaker 1: very very familiar with. So instead of going through the
- 1:48Speaker 1: full stread full thread, thirty two tweets, I think it
- 1:51Speaker 1: was very basic handicap. I just want to go through
- 1:55Speaker 1: the spike numbers, what the top five in the leader
- 1:59Speaker 1: board did not at the Travelers Championship, what they did
- 2:04Speaker 1: leading into the Travelers Championship, because I think lead in
- 2:07Speaker 1: form is more telling than just a one off what
- 2:10Speaker 1: you did in a given week, because you could do
- 2:13Speaker 1: anything in a given week. If you're doing something consistently
- 2:15Speaker 1: for weeks leading up, I think that's a better way
- 2:18Speaker 1: to predict golf courses. So let's bring the screen up
- 2:21Speaker 1: and talk some leading form, some spike stuff, some stuff
- 2:26Speaker 1: from TBC River Highlands. So last year's top ten finishers,
- 2:30Speaker 1: their last ten starts entering the Travelers Championship, accuracy versus
- 2:34Speaker 1: the field average, and approach play, plus their spikes in
- 2:38Speaker 1: those regards. Spike is defined as a five percent or
- 2:43Speaker 1: greater threshold in terms of accuracy or distance, or a
- 2:47Speaker 1: plus four strokes gained metric, So kicking Bradley winner last
- 2:51Speaker 1: year ten starts letting in. He was positive inaccuracy this
- 2:55Speaker 1: is driving accuracy by the way, five out of ten times,
- 2:59Speaker 1: and he spiked five times in that regards. Approach was
- 3:01Speaker 1: much more solid eight out of ten, four spikes. Tommy
- 3:05Speaker 1: seven positive, seven positive accuracy driving weeks leading in nine positive,
- 3:11Speaker 1: nine positive approach weeks leading in with some spikes there
- 3:15Speaker 1: Russ more positive driving, more positive approach nine in each category.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Absolute machine Harris English six out of ten positive accuracy
- 3:26Speaker 1: driving weeks, seven out of ten positive approach weeks leading in.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Jason Day not the strongest profile here, only three accuracy
- 3:36Speaker 1: not only three accuracy positives, one spike and seven out
- 3:40Speaker 1: of ten approach positive. So you could see the accuracy
- 3:44Speaker 1: and the approach leading in is very, very very correlative
- 3:49Speaker 1: to success. That's kind of what we're looking for. And
- 3:51Speaker 1: that's not rocket science, guys. That's what we see at
- 3:54Speaker 1: TPC River Highlands year in year out, hit fairways, hit greens,
- 3:59Speaker 1: make some punt. This is a TPC golf course, not
- 4:01Speaker 1: the most difficult handicap in the world. But let's take
- 4:04Speaker 1: a look at some of the winning scores, weather and
- 4:06Speaker 1: everything in between. So last few years we saw Keegan
- 4:09Speaker 1: win at fifteen and twenty three, Scotti at twenty two,
- 4:12Speaker 1: Xander at nineteen, Harris at thirteen, DJ at nineteen. We
- 4:17Speaker 1: haven't seen much rain leading leading into the week over
- 4:21Speaker 1: in Hertford, Connecticut, in Cromwell, Connecticut, to be exact, but
- 4:24Speaker 1: we're gonna get some rain on Tuesday morning. It's looking
- 4:28Speaker 1: like from midnight to ten am and a little bit
- 4:32Speaker 1: in the afternoon. Tomorrow afternoon, we're gonna get some rain.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Not the most amount of rain in the world. They
- 4:37Speaker 1: should be able to keep the golf course how they
- 4:39Speaker 1: wanted to. And then again on Friday morning. Friday afternoon
- 4:43Speaker 1: Saturday is gonna be a little heavier, it looks like
- 4:45Speaker 1: as well, so expect some rain, maybe a few delays.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Damn it, I lost to forecast. Let's bring it back up.
- 4:51Speaker 1: But in terms of the week long forecast, wins Thursday
- 4:56Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to be really, really calm.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Expect for their first round leader to come from this
- 5:01Speaker 1: am group because the wind's going to pick up in
- 5:03Speaker 1: the afternoon. Friday. It looks somewhat similar all day, so
- 5:08Speaker 1: maybe a potential AMPM split. I'll call it point four
- 5:11Speaker 1: Strokes AMPM split this week. Saturday looks pretty calm all day,
- 5:15Speaker 1: and then Sunday maybe in the PM it's going to
- 5:17Speaker 1: be a little bit more difficult. We'll have better weather
- 5:20Speaker 1: forecast for the weekend once we get into the showdown stuff,
- 5:23Speaker 1: but that is the weather. In terms of contest selection
- 5:25Speaker 1: for the week, I am loving this PGA Tour. Twenty
- 5:29Speaker 1: five k driving range, five entry max one fifty For
- 5:34Speaker 1: each entry you get, enter that five times. That is
- 5:37Speaker 1: what's one fifty times five five times one fifty equals
- 5:39Speaker 1: seven to fifty. I didn't know basically, mass, so I
- 5:42Speaker 1: use my calculator. Nonetheless, if you're entering this five times
- 5:46Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five entrance, if every person were
- 5:50Speaker 1: to enter this contest five times, that would mean it'd
- 5:55Speaker 1: be you versus thirty six other people. If you enter
- 5:58Speaker 1: this five times, have massive overlay, because I can promise
- 6:01Speaker 1: you not everybody is going to enter this contest five times.
- 6:05Speaker 1: If you have five lineups, you got to be in
- 6:06Speaker 1: it to win it. You have more chances to win.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Why not finish first? Why not have two from eighth
- 6:11Speaker 1: to tenth? Bang, there's six k right there. You only
- 6:14Speaker 1: entered seven to fifty. I think this is a great
- 6:16Speaker 1: strip payout structure. Tenth place gets that ten percent. This
- 6:20Speaker 1: is beautiful. I think it's a nice small enough contest,
- 6:23Speaker 1: only have to be thirty six other people, if including
- 6:25Speaker 1: the overlay. I love it. I absolutely love this contest
- 6:28Speaker 1: for tomorrow. I mean sorry, sorry for this week looking
- 6:31Speaker 1: at the selection, looking at the sorry the pricing. Scotty
- 6:34Speaker 1: leads the way. Tommy, Xander and Matt fits all over
- 6:39Speaker 1: ten k and maybe get a little bit of a
- 6:41Speaker 1: drop from especially Cameron Young Cameron back in the nine
- 6:44Speaker 1: k range. See some other golfers getting a little bit
- 6:46Speaker 1: of a drop only goes down to six k with
- 6:48Speaker 1: Brian Campbell, Lucas Clebber, Johnny Vegas. First golfer I wanted
- 6:51Speaker 1: to look on this in this range is Tommy Fleetwood
- 6:55Speaker 1: three hundred. Tommy finished. Who could forget Tommy, I guess
- 6:59Speaker 1: blowing this event last year. He played so well over
- 7:01Speaker 1: the weekend only to miss a very very short put,
- 7:05Speaker 1: lose two and a half strokes to the field on
- 7:08Speaker 1: Sunday to lose this event. Oh Tommy, Oh Tommy. But
- 7:13Speaker 1: this is about the time of the summer last year
- 7:16Speaker 1: where Tommy became TPC Tommy, it felt like every TPC
- 7:20Speaker 1: golf course he played mark After this mark, he was
- 7:22Speaker 1: like in contention coming off of another T eleven. That's
- 7:25Speaker 1: T four, T eleven, T eleven in three straight starts.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Tommy is back in order after maybe a little bit
- 7:30Speaker 1: of a mediocre stretch from the PGA Championship to the Masters.
- 7:34Speaker 1: But Tommy's back in order, gaining strokes in all four categories,
- 7:38Speaker 1: all greening. That's exactly what you want to see Tommy
- 7:39Speaker 1: Fleetwood doing, and I love it again. I think his
- 7:42Speaker 1: floor is so, so, so high. I don't see how
- 7:44Speaker 1: Tommy finishes worse than like tenth in this event. And
- 7:47Speaker 1: at ten three, is that his price? Ten to three? Yeah,
- 7:49Speaker 1: come on, I think it's a great price for Tommy Fleetwood,
- 7:52Speaker 1: the next golfer I wanted to look at. Down the
- 7:54Speaker 1: board comes to eighty six hundred dollars. Chris got her up.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Chris got up eighty six hundred dollars, had another nice
- 8:01Speaker 1: ball striking week, and the around the green play has
- 8:03Speaker 1: just been killing him. He's doing what we want him
- 8:05Speaker 1: to do, though, driving it well, hitting nice approach shots
- 8:08Speaker 1: and gaining strokes putting. Chris Gottrup has not lost strokes
- 8:11Speaker 1: putting since Riviera. That is quite the stretch. That's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
- 8:20Speaker 1: ten straight starts in which Chris gotterr Up has gained
- 8:24Speaker 1: strokes on the green. That is not That is not common.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Golfers just don't get Golfers have great putters all the time,
- 8:31Speaker 1: but even the best putters have a week off where
- 8:33Speaker 1: they're losing zero point seven strokes. That's nine straight I
- 8:37Speaker 1: just said nine straight weeks of Chris got Up gaining
- 8:39Speaker 1: strokes on the greens. And we know he can hit
- 8:42Speaker 1: that low burner. He's he's obviously a mega long driver,
- 8:45Speaker 1: but he can hit that low burner. He can hit
- 8:47Speaker 1: fine fairways. Do what he did with the Sony Open.
- 8:49Speaker 1: I'm not saying like Sony Open, I was all about
- 8:51Speaker 1: bombing gathering, even though it was like a position on
- 8:53Speaker 1: golf course. I don't see the around sawgrass. But I
- 8:56Speaker 1: trust Chris Goddrup to dial it down a little bit
- 8:58Speaker 1: and hit fairways if he needs to six hundred dollars
- 9:00Speaker 1: getting strokes out, approach what he's doing on the putting greens.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Sign me up strokes gating Northeast. I'm in to Chris
- 9:07Speaker 1: Gottter up at eighty six hundred dollars. Next thing I
- 9:11Speaker 1: want to touch on is a little bit of site information.
- 9:14Speaker 1: So first of all, you're going to use this code
- 9:17Speaker 1: boots get you free access to everything up here, so
- 9:22Speaker 1: you can see this new slate station we have. It's
- 9:23Speaker 1: gonna be myself, Tambo and Hoop getting their picks up
- 9:28Speaker 1: their core as well as the slate breakdown, ownership thoughts,
- 9:31Speaker 1: roster thoughts, my outright selections, and a ton of other stuff. DraftKings,
- 9:36Speaker 1: course fit rankings. We have the showed on information obviously
- 9:40Speaker 1: that's later in the week. We are the projections, the stone,
- 9:42Speaker 1: the Stone two point zero, all of this stuff. Can
- 9:45Speaker 1: get it all for free with code boots. You're gonna
- 9:49Speaker 1: go right here. Oh no, maybe we're not. Maybe we're
- 9:51Speaker 1: not gonna go right here. Now we are going to
- 9:52Speaker 1: go here. Join the nation, Join the Nation. You can
- 9:56Speaker 1: get all access to every single sport. Code boots works
- 9:58Speaker 1: on any of these. You just on the golf stuff.
- 10:00Speaker 1: You can go to single sport PGA plus content opt
- 10:04Speaker 1: you want to optimizer, bang right here, code boots get it.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Get SABERSIM help us help you, because everyone in this
- 10:12Speaker 1: discord is using the Sabersim stuff. It is so so,
- 10:15Speaker 1: so so so helpful, so impressive, and I definitely recommend,
- 10:19Speaker 1: I definitely recommend. So next thing I want to do
- 10:21Speaker 1: is touch on the betting board. Scottie Scheffler leads the
- 10:24Speaker 1: way no surprise at four and a half to one Xander,
- 10:26Speaker 1: Tommy Ludwig, Kim, Matt Fitz. First thing we wanted to
- 10:30Speaker 1: touch on comes this twenty range see Kim twenty three
- 10:34Speaker 1: and a half to one. Right here. It's some nice
- 10:38Speaker 1: ball striking from Seawell Kim, even though he did miss
- 10:41Speaker 1: the cut at Shinnakok. Hit the ball really well, gain
- 10:45Speaker 1: four strokes on approach in just two rounds. Some tough
- 10:48Speaker 1: short game from sew Kim. It was minus four point
- 10:51Speaker 1: five strokes about short game. We know who short game
- 10:54Speaker 1: has been really really solid outside of that, and this
- 10:56Speaker 1: is a much better course for seaw Kim, even though
- 10:58Speaker 1: it doesn't have the greatest course of three in the world.
- 11:00Speaker 1: We know what I almost called him, Pete Dye. We
- 11:04Speaker 1: know what Seawick Kim does at Pete Dye tracks, and
- 11:06Speaker 1: we know what he does at at TPC tracks. I
- 11:09Speaker 1: think he's in a bounce back. He hasn't put it
- 11:11Speaker 1: great here, but the putter has been really solid this
- 11:13Speaker 1: year and has been solid recently outside of last week.
- 11:15Speaker 1: So I look Seawock came around this twenty four to
- 11:17Speaker 1: twenty three to one range. I think it's a great selection.
- 11:19Speaker 1: I think he's playing. He's played so damn well this
- 11:23Speaker 1: year to not pay it all or something. I think
- 11:25Speaker 1: he can get into the mix, and I think Seawill
- 11:26Speaker 1: came is a great selection this week. Second game I
- 11:30Speaker 1: wanted to touch on goes down the board a little
- 11:32Speaker 1: bit longer. Why is this guy fifty four to one
- 11:37Speaker 1: PGA champion, finished eleventh of the US Open, gain strokes
- 11:43Speaker 1: in every single category, And we're talking about a course
- 11:47Speaker 1: driving accuracy and approach that is exactly what Aaron Rai does.
- 11:52Speaker 1: He's played this golf course three times, never missed the cut.
- 11:54Speaker 1: I know this sometimes no cut, but the approach play
- 11:57Speaker 1: has been weird. Aaron Ry's approached play has been green
- 12:01Speaker 1: since Sawgrass. I know Sawgrass asks you kind of similar
- 12:05Speaker 1: questions to this golf course, but I don't see a
- 12:07Speaker 1: world in which Aaron Rye really loses too many strokes
- 12:10Speaker 1: on approach. Here he's hitting the ball too well. He
- 12:12Speaker 1: makes too much sense for this golf course, and I
- 12:15Speaker 1: think at fifty five to one, you could do a
- 12:17Speaker 1: lot worse than Aaron Rye. So that's who I'm looking
- 12:21Speaker 1: at in terms of the betting board. See who kim
- 12:23Speaker 1: Aaron Rye DFS plays. I like Chris Gottterup, I like
- 12:26Speaker 1: Tommy Fleetwood at the top. The next thing I want
- 12:28Speaker 1: to do is touch on a chalky golfer, a potential pivot,
- 12:32Speaker 1: and then the one golfer that I am on as always,
- 12:35Speaker 1: So a potential chalky golfer who do I think is
- 12:37Speaker 1: going to come in maybe a little bit more owned
- 12:39Speaker 1: than they had been recently, maybe a little bit more
- 12:41Speaker 1: owned than I think they should be. That is Colin
- 12:45Speaker 1: Moore Rikawa. Colin Morrikawa nice week at the US Open,
- 12:50Speaker 1: gained just under six strokes ball striking, He's seventeen bad
- 12:55Speaker 1: shipping week putted tremendously. A nice week at for Colin Markawa.
- 13:00Speaker 1: He's played decent here. He always makes sense on paper here,
- 13:04Speaker 1: but he hasn't really panned out. I think seeing Colin
- 13:06Speaker 1: Morrikawa at ninety two hundred dollars, it's more the price
- 13:09Speaker 1: plus what he just did at Chinnacock, which doesn't scream.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Colin Morrikawa is going to have him being more chalky
- 13:17Speaker 1: than he probably should be. So Colin Morrikawa Chalky golfer
- 13:21Speaker 1: of the week. Next thing I want to do is
- 13:22Speaker 1: the pivot of the week. Now, like I always say,
- 13:25Speaker 1: does this mean that this golfer is a pivot off
- 13:27Speaker 1: of Colin Morrikawa. No, I'm saying this golfer is a
- 13:30Speaker 1: pivot in the range that they are in, and that
- 13:32Speaker 1: is Victor Hobland eighty five hundred dollars. If you look
- 13:36Speaker 1: at the pricing, Victor Hoblin is between Chris goddr up
- 13:40Speaker 1: coming off of an OK week, but Chris got up
- 13:43Speaker 1: is a trending name defending champion Kegan Bradley. I think
- 13:46Speaker 1: Victor Hoblin gets squeezed out because he played poorly last week,
- 13:50Speaker 1: missed the cut, but just before that finished solo third
- 13:54Speaker 1: at the Canadian Open. The approach place still there. I
- 13:58Speaker 1: trust him to figure out that driver, and the dude
- 14:00Speaker 1: is a grinder. Dude is a great player. He can
- 14:03Speaker 1: he can pop at a moment to notice. He withdrew
- 14:06Speaker 1: last year after three rounds with an injury, but he
- 14:08Speaker 1: was getting eight point two strokes on approach. I am
- 14:11Speaker 1: so in on Victor Hoblin in like a bounce back
- 14:14Speaker 1: spot eighty five hundred dollars when he might be not
- 14:16Speaker 1: that chalky either. Where is he on the betting board?
- 14:19Speaker 1: Even Victor Hoblin is forty one to one, Like, come on,
- 14:24Speaker 1: this dude wins too often, too high a rate to
- 14:26Speaker 1: be at the price and at the number that he
- 14:28Speaker 1: is at. So Victor Hoblin forty one to one is
- 14:31Speaker 1: the pivot of the week for me. Next thing I
- 14:34Speaker 1: want to touch on before we get to the one
- 14:36Speaker 1: guarfer I am on is the model. Every single week
- 14:39Speaker 1: we model try to find ways to win. The model
- 14:43Speaker 1: has been a little bit weak to us recently, but
- 14:45Speaker 1: I think we're due for a nice little bounce back
- 14:47Speaker 1: one ten to one step. I mean it's about time
- 14:50Speaker 1: for Step to pop. I feel like he is my
- 14:51Speaker 1: most tipped well like a month in a row. It's
- 14:55Speaker 1: at one point this season and then he like didn't
- 14:57Speaker 1: do anything one ten to one. I'm in on set
- 15:00Speaker 1: rskel Ogle's let's do it all right. Model of the week.
- 15:04Speaker 1: We have posted on Twitter, but if you didn't see it,
- 15:06Speaker 1: we have Scotti number one tied for second, Victor and
- 15:09Speaker 1: Siwu fourth and fifth, Colin Morikawa, Russell Henley, sixth, tie
- 15:13Speaker 1: for sixth, Aaron Ray, Alex Fitzpatrick and Louvig o'bert and
- 15:16Speaker 1: then ninth, JJ Spond and Brent Stedecker. As you can see,
- 15:19Speaker 1: the model was accuracy plus birty your better percentage, Approach
- 15:23Speaker 1: plus birty your better percentage, Wedges approach and accuracy approach, accuracy,
- 15:28Speaker 1: course history and birdier better percentage. We made fifteen models
- 15:32Speaker 1: aggregated into one model and this is what we got.
- 15:35Speaker 1: So that's what we got here. The one golfer that
- 15:39Speaker 1: I am on for this week has not been mentioned,
- 15:41Speaker 1: is not in the model at all, but that is Akhebatia.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Akhebatia played pretty well in this event last year, ended
- 15:48Speaker 1: up or sorry two years ago, ended up finishing T five.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Just could not get anything going in round four last
- 15:55Speaker 1: year playing with Scotty and Tom cam In in threes.
- 15:58Speaker 1: But he had his best ball striking week. What is that?
- 16:01Speaker 1: Just under under just under five strokes ball striking, his
- 16:04Speaker 1: best ball striking week since Sawgrass, which is a golf course.
- 16:07Speaker 1: He played really well at I like him at t
- 16:10Speaker 1: PC River Highlands I like him when driving accuracy is important.
- 16:13Speaker 1: I like him when the winds aren't too high and
- 16:15Speaker 1: they're not too high. So Akhabatia is the one golfer
- 16:19Speaker 1: that I am on. As always, the song of the
- 16:22Speaker 1: day for the week before weigure out here is going
- 16:24Speaker 1: to be echo by Star Set. Definitely, definitely definitely go
- 16:29Speaker 1: check it out. A nice little banger there, So that
- 16:32Speaker 1: does it. That is the first look. We will be
- 16:34Speaker 1: back Thursday afternoon with the showdown content. Any questions, you
- 16:38Speaker 1: guys know where to find me. As always, let's ship it.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Peace out.
