- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, all systems going clear. The lift up, he's us
- 0:36Speaker 1: Michael thorpe Jornson makes six on eighteen as I go
- 0:41Speaker 1: live to kind of throw my intro off, I just
- 0:45Speaker 1: wanted to check really quickly, like what's what's what's the
- 0:47Speaker 1: up to make six on eighteen? Went four and two?
- 0:51Speaker 1: Didn't get up and down for p Nonetheless, how about
- 0:55Speaker 1: how about Palm Beach? How about Palm Beach, Florida? How
- 0:58Speaker 1: about it? I told you guys on on Monday Tuesday
- 1:02Speaker 1: whenever it wasn't gonna be like we saw last year, firmist.
- 1:06Speaker 1: I've seen this golf course in the last two three years,
- 1:10Speaker 1: some winning the forecast today, not getting No. Minus five
- 1:13Speaker 1: cut tomorrow. So a little round of applause for for
- 1:16Speaker 1: Palm Beach Gardens. I know it got a ton of
- 1:18Speaker 1: slack on on paper, but I mean this is going
- 1:21Speaker 1: as perfect as I could have wanted it to start
- 1:24Speaker 1: in terms of course fit profile, what we're looking for, Like, yeah,
- 1:29Speaker 1: if you're hitting your spots, you're getting good weather conditions,
- 1:31Speaker 1: you can make a score, you can make some putts.
- 1:33Speaker 1: We saw awesin smow Nicky nations do that today. But
- 1:36Speaker 1: if you're off in the slightest still the bear trap.
- 1:40Speaker 1: It's still a PGA national. So I'm really happy to
- 1:44Speaker 1: see what we saw today, and I'm expecting some great things,
- 1:48Speaker 1: some great things going forward. Let's bring this the screen up,
- 1:53Speaker 1: recap a little bit of what we saw today at
- 1:55Speaker 1: the top of the leaderboard. Uh, here we go. Oh yeah,
- 2:00Speaker 1: I should probably share my screen if I'm gonna if
- 2:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring my screen up, right, there we go,
- 2:04Speaker 1: All right, Austin Smotherman, Nico Echeveria, Taylor Moore, Jackson, super Debug,
- 2:10Speaker 1: Chris Wright in all rounds of four under or better. Obviously,
- 2:15Speaker 1: Smotherman and Etcheveria had some like pretty high end outlandish
- 2:18Speaker 1: rounds of sixty two and sixty three, but those two
- 2:23Speaker 1: did it how I one of the styles that we
- 2:26Speaker 1: all expected to play, not reenvent in the wheel, hit
- 2:29Speaker 1: drivers in play hit whatever club in playoff that he
- 2:32Speaker 1: hit fairways, hit greens, spike on driving accuracy, spike on approach.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Taylor More sadly we do have him, I mean not
- 2:40Speaker 1: sad that we have him in our DFS lineups and outright.
- 2:44Speaker 1: But he was a luckbox. He was a luckbox. He
- 2:47Speaker 1: did it all short game I saw him hold out
- 2:48Speaker 1: like I think twice in a row to start his
- 2:51Speaker 1: back nine. Nonetheless got a great round of sixty seven
- 2:53Speaker 1: in I still saw some great things from him earlier
- 2:55Speaker 1: in the week. Hopefully he could lean on those a
- 2:57Speaker 1: little bit more than the luck box Super Jackson. Super
- 3:01Speaker 1: had to get some pretty lucky lies because he didn't
- 3:03Speaker 1: hit a ton of fairways. And I said that, what
- 3:05Speaker 1: did I say in the Boote report fifty fifty rough
- 3:08Speaker 1: like you can get away with it. We saw guys
- 3:09Speaker 1: have some great lies, some terrible lies. Super must have
- 3:12Speaker 1: had some really good lies because he didn't hit a
- 3:14Speaker 1: ton of good fairways and he was still able to
- 3:16Speaker 1: hit some greens. Kevin Roy hit fairways, hit greens, but
- 3:22Speaker 1: didn't really spike an approach, didn' hit anything close, had
- 3:25Speaker 1: recently hot putter, but still had the profile of fairways
- 3:28Speaker 1: and greens. Daniel Berger was pretty steady all around, like
- 3:31Speaker 1: which I like going forward, like he didn't really spike
- 3:34Speaker 1: in any category. He would just steady out to see
- 3:36Speaker 1: he steady on approach, hit enough fairways, made enough putts,
- 3:38Speaker 1: really really really solid PM round. And then Chris writ
- 3:43Speaker 1: In Chris Wright in a pretty solid driving accuracy round two,
- 3:46Speaker 1: so TLDR. Driving accuracy was the way to go today,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be the way to
- 3:54Speaker 1: go tomorrow. I still believe that we will get one
- 3:59Speaker 1: bomber to have a sixty five, to have a sixty six,
- 4:03Speaker 1: a guy who just like Jackson Zuber like maybe Kevin Rory,
- 4:07Speaker 1: vombit and get lucky lies then get hot with the putter.
- 4:10Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be when I build lineups and potentially
- 4:13Speaker 1: talking about some stats, I'm gonna be looking for to
- 4:16Speaker 1: add one bomber into my lineup. So so go with
- 4:19Speaker 1: the five driving accuracy guys and then add a bomber.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Hopefully we can get, but no more than one. I
- 4:23Speaker 1: don't want to fill it up with with bombers. We're
- 4:25Speaker 1: not at Memorial Park, but I think one of them
- 4:27Speaker 1: is gonna come through for a single round. We're playing
- 4:30Speaker 1: single round showdown. I'm not looking for I got to
- 4:32Speaker 1: vomit around for seve ninje roles one round, get lucky,
- 4:35Speaker 1: and hopefully we could find that guy to have that
- 4:36Speaker 1: one low owned bomber in our lineup. Let's look a
- 4:39Speaker 1: little bit of the wave split for today. As we
- 4:42Speaker 1: saw the AM played just about a stroke easier than
- 4:46Speaker 1: the PM. I don't think we're gonna see that tomorrow.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I did expect a little bit of an advantage for
- 4:53Speaker 1: the AM this morning, but maybe not a full stroke.
- 4:55Speaker 1: It's not exactly a stroke, but close enough. So tomorrow
- 4:59Speaker 1: I gonna I'm gonna bring the weather up, but I
- 5:01Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna see that tomorrow. Looking at the
- 5:04Speaker 1: weather tomorrow, we have there we go. It seems the same.
- 5:09Speaker 1: All all from from six am when they go off
- 5:12Speaker 1: to about six pm wins from five to ten miles
- 5:16Speaker 1: an hour. I guess it's a little bit tougher, bless me,
- 5:21Speaker 1: a little bit tougher in the afternoon, but I don't
- 5:22Speaker 1: think it's gonna be anything crazily tough. And if people
- 5:25Speaker 1: see this, like all right, let's stack the AM again,
- 5:27Speaker 1: we may be able to get a little bit different
- 5:29Speaker 1: and go with go three three, maybe stack a four
- 5:32Speaker 1: to two in the PM, because I don't think it's
- 5:34Speaker 1: gonna be that much tougher tomorrow, especially if we get
- 5:36Speaker 1: like a zero point one zero point two inches of rain,
- 5:39Speaker 1: that could soften it up just a tad enough for
- 5:42Speaker 1: the for the PM to play at least close to
- 5:45Speaker 1: the AM. So I'm expecting to the two waves to
- 5:49Speaker 1: play a little bit even tomorrow. And I think if
- 5:51Speaker 1: you're if you're playing the waves plit even playing three
- 5:54Speaker 1: and three, you're gonna get different. You're gonna get different. There.
- 5:57Speaker 1: So some stats that we're looking for tomorrow. We're gonna
- 6:01Speaker 1: be looking for similar stuff. We're gonna be looking for
- 6:03Speaker 1: as we go to driving act, as we go to
- 6:05Speaker 1: data golf. We're looking gonna look for accurate guys. We're
- 6:08Speaker 1: gonna look for approach guys, and like I said, if
- 6:10Speaker 1: we want to get different plays in PM guys or
- 6:13Speaker 1: play us split three to three. So that's what we
- 6:16Speaker 1: will be looking for before I get into stat by
- 6:20Speaker 1: stat looking for some glaring weaknesses. We're gonna look at
- 6:23Speaker 1: some contest selection for tomorrow. So tomorrow, some contests that
- 6:28Speaker 1: I like. I like two cheap single entries, the five
- 6:32Speaker 1: dollars four k Caddy it's right here. I really like
- 6:35Speaker 1: this payout structure. First gets four hundred dollars. That's a nice,
- 6:39Speaker 1: nice percentage of the of the total price, and then
- 6:42Speaker 1: it's a pretty steady payout from first to tenth. I
- 6:44Speaker 1: really really do like that. And then the twelve twelve
- 6:48Speaker 1: dollars single entry as well, whereas at twelve dollars single
- 6:50Speaker 1: untry always a great single entry lineup. I really do
- 6:52Speaker 1: like this great way to spend a little bit of money.
- 6:55Speaker 1: And I'm not talking to you guys who are spending
- 6:57Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a day. Here's five hundred dollars a day,
- 7:01Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a day. You don't need me to
- 7:03Speaker 1: tell you who what took contest to enter. This is
- 7:06Speaker 1: for the the everyday guy. So I like those two
- 7:09Speaker 1: for single entries. And then also the three dollars five
- 7:12Speaker 1: max I think is another great contest to enter if
- 7:15Speaker 1: you want to enter I guess a max. A MAX
- 7:17Speaker 1: lineup plays out one one hundred up top, and only
- 7:20Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety six people are entering. If you're
- 7:22Speaker 1: entering five lineups into that, you have a nice little
- 7:24Speaker 1: chance to at minimum min cast. You have a tight
- 7:27Speaker 1: little player pool, which I do I do UH recommend,
- 7:32Speaker 1: So if you want to enter these contests, definitely head
- 7:35Speaker 1: to the site. Definitely use UH the stone which will
- 7:39Speaker 1: be up probably pretty shortly after after the show, and
- 7:44Speaker 1: bring up this little billboard so you guys can use UH.
- 7:47Speaker 1: So there's a code in the description go into the description,
- 7:50Speaker 1: use that code. You're gonna get the stone that will
- 7:53Speaker 1: update within the next two hours or so. The projections
- 7:56Speaker 1: will update when the next two hours or so, and
- 7:59Speaker 1: then go Peck pick your package. If you're just a
- 8:01Speaker 1: PGA guy, go and you just want the content, then
- 8:03Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna get You're probably not going to
- 8:05Speaker 1: get any of the key stuff. But if you're not,
- 8:08Speaker 1: if you want more of the in depth stuff, go
- 8:10Speaker 1: to PGA plus Optimizer. You can build all your lineups.
- 8:12Speaker 1: You saber sim. I think sayaber sim is one of
- 8:14Speaker 1: the greatest tools in PGA and in just DFS as well.
- 8:18Speaker 1: And if you're an all sports guy you want to
- 8:20Speaker 1: do NBA MMA, I know nothing about it, but the
- 8:23Speaker 1: guys chip it are extremely extremely smart, way smarter than
- 8:27Speaker 1: I am. Uh, go to all Access use the code Boots.
- 8:30Speaker 1: I know you guys love the Boots. To get all
- 8:32Speaker 1: of this stuff, get a nice discount and a ten
- 8:35Speaker 1: percent off lifetime guarantee. So now we're going to get
- 8:39Speaker 1: into some of the key stuff, some of the pluck
- 8:43Speaker 1: the key stats that we're looking for for tomorrow. So
- 8:46Speaker 1: let's bring back up the stats, let's update it, refresh it,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and see what we got. Uh, I like to, as
- 8:52Speaker 1: you guys know, go here and data golf and where
- 8:55Speaker 1: it says show player types. If you taggle this on
- 8:58Speaker 1: and off, it'll sort buy some things that we want
- 9:00Speaker 1: to look at. So here is you can see short accurate.
- 9:05Speaker 1: We're gonna look for, guys, and then this is inaccurate long,
- 9:08Speaker 1: like I said, Taylor Moore a luckback a luckbox round
- 9:11Speaker 1: for us today, nonetheless, So we're looking for I don't
- 9:14Speaker 1: care if you're short, I don't care if you're long.
- 9:16Speaker 1: We're looking for some accuracy tomorrow. That is gonna be
- 9:18Speaker 1: the key thing we're gonna look at. Su Ette very accurate,
- 9:21Speaker 1: Daniel Berger accurate, Christopher Turror actually did hit more fairways.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I'm not sure why this didn't SA accurately because his
- 9:27Speaker 1: round's not done yet. But Christpin Turr had a pretty
- 9:30Speaker 1: nice driving accuracy round. So let's pull this up. Let's
- 9:33Speaker 1: uh sort. We're gonna sort by accuracy for when we're
- 9:36Speaker 1: looking for build our player pool, but for now, let's
- 9:38Speaker 1: look for glaring weaknesses. Who did what, how did they
- 9:41Speaker 1: do it? And who who can improve? Kevin Roy, like
- 9:45Speaker 1: I said, he didn't really gain that many strokes on approach,
- 9:47Speaker 1: but he hit enough greens and got hot with the putter.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I think Kevin Rory's got a nice profile, like he's
- 9:53Speaker 1: good Kevin Rroy hashtag good at golf. There's no reason
- 9:55Speaker 1: he can't shoot back to back low rounds and kind
- 9:59Speaker 1: of improve on that shows approach. Like I said, he
- 10:00Speaker 1: did hit a lot of greens today, he just didn't
- 10:02Speaker 1: hit it close. But I don't think Kevin Rory is
- 10:04Speaker 1: a bad profile at all. Hank Lebyoda. I saw some
- 10:07Speaker 1: really nice things from him in Boots, but I don't
- 10:10Speaker 1: love this profile was kind of all led on the
- 10:13Speaker 1: uh on the around the green stuff. I don't really
- 10:15Speaker 1: love that at all. Who's this? Chad Raimi shot three
- 10:19Speaker 1: under losing two and a half strokes off the tee.
- 10:21Speaker 1: I don't really think that is sustainable. This means he
- 10:24Speaker 1: had to get the fifty to fifty lies at a
- 10:27Speaker 1: high rate. If he's gaining four strokes on approach while
- 10:29Speaker 1: losing two and a half strokes off the t he
- 10:31Speaker 1: had to have gotten really nice lies. I don't think
- 10:33Speaker 1: that's sustainable. So he could be a nice fade for tomorrow.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Go read the Boots right up. I wrote for Sudhar
- 10:39Speaker 1: Shan yellow Moraju. It's going well right now, I said, Actually,
- 10:44Speaker 1: I could probably just show you what I said for
- 10:46Speaker 1: Sudar Shan yellow Moraju. Let's go Pga. PGA showed no no, no, no
- 10:53Speaker 1: boots bullets. Let's see Sudhar. Okay, this is what I
- 10:59Speaker 1: said for Sudar Shan. Really nice swing and hit some
- 11:03Speaker 1: nice shots. He's a guy I really see struggling to
- 11:06Speaker 1: perform under the gun. I would prefer he barely makes
- 11:09Speaker 1: the cut and just slowly works to way after the leaderboard.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Any early success would lead to dropping off late in
- 11:14Speaker 1: my opinion. So I think we could have one more
- 11:18Speaker 1: nice round from Sudar Shan because he's three under to day,
- 11:22Speaker 1: not on anyone's leaderboard, not like, oh my god, look
- 11:24Speaker 1: out for Sudar Shan. He should not feel the pressure yet.
- 11:27Speaker 1: But I like him to maybe put together another nice
- 11:29Speaker 1: round of three under. I like what I saw from him.
- 11:32Speaker 1: The stats are lining up again, So didn't do anything crazy.
- 11:35Speaker 1: He could pop another category. I like what I'm seeing
- 11:38Speaker 1: from Sudar Shan. Who else can pop? Who lost a
- 11:41Speaker 1: stroke in a half around the green Michael Brennan. So
- 11:44Speaker 1: I didn't see Michael Brennan. I know he was a
- 11:46Speaker 1: key name that people wanted to see. But if he's
- 11:48Speaker 1: doing this again tomorrow, getting two off the tee, getting
- 11:51Speaker 1: one point two on approach, getting one putting, this could
- 11:53Speaker 1: be the round of the day. He's even around the green,
- 11:55Speaker 1: He's not that bad around the green. This can easily pop.
- 11:58Speaker 1: So I definitely like Michael Brennan tomorrow. Maybe I wish
- 12:02Speaker 1: he could hit a little a few more fairways, but
- 12:04Speaker 1: this profile just just this is stern and solid driving.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Uh from from Michael Brennan. Another profile that we might like.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Lee Hodges gained probably hit enough fairways, really solid on approach,
- 12:16Speaker 1: lost about half a stroke on approach. I think this
- 12:18Speaker 1: could this can go back to even and potentially have
- 12:21Speaker 1: a nice round for Lee Hodges. Now, who's this mio
- 12:24Speaker 1: via Jagas. I don't really love that. Vince Wali gain
- 12:28Speaker 1: strokes off the tee, lost four point two on approach
- 12:33Speaker 1: and just made everything. Don't necessarily see that switching Davis Thompson.
- 12:38Speaker 1: This is a really nice profile, a really really nice profile.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I saw someone tweeted that he made nothing today and
- 12:43Speaker 1: I kind of liked what I saw from him today.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm Boots lost a stroke off the tee,
- 12:47Speaker 1: which I think will turn. Like he's a great driver,
- 12:49Speaker 1: I think this will turn. And he has the accuracy bullets.
- 12:52Speaker 1: So I really like what I'm seeing from Davis Thompson.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Gained two strokes on approach, lost a little bit on
- 12:57Speaker 1: the on the greens. Davis Thompson is a perfect profile
- 13:00Speaker 1: what I'm looking for. Nikolai lost three strokes putting, striped it.
- 13:05Speaker 1: That's kind of what I would expect from Nikolai. And
- 13:07Speaker 1: this is a thing that my old self would chase.
- 13:09Speaker 1: I would chase, and you guys probably too. Oh he
- 13:12Speaker 1: lost three strokes putting. He has to gain trokes putting
- 13:14Speaker 1: tomorrow or does he know you guys play golf. You
- 13:17Speaker 1: guys know that you don't The golf guys don't owe
- 13:20Speaker 1: you anything on the green When it rains it poor sometimes,
- 13:22Speaker 1: So I'm not going to chase a Nikola like corguard putter,
- 13:25Speaker 1: which could just lead to some bad things. I really
- 13:29Speaker 1: liked this profile from from Rasmus Neer Guard Peterson. I
- 13:32Speaker 1: didn't love what I saw from him at Boots, but
- 13:35Speaker 1: hit fairways. He didn't hit fairways. I mean, he know
- 13:38Speaker 1: he did hit fairways. He is accurate, not the big
- 13:42Speaker 1: greatest approach performance, but he's generally pretty solid on approach.
- 13:46Speaker 1: I liked what I saw from him in terms of
- 13:48Speaker 1: irons at boots, didn't have the best putting performance and
- 13:52Speaker 1: had a nice around the green. I think one of
- 13:53Speaker 1: these two, whether it's accuracy driving or just strokes can
- 13:57Speaker 1: approach could turn in the right direction for Rasmus and
- 13:59Speaker 1: he could to three under round tomorrow. Let's look for
- 14:02Speaker 1: one more guy that could potentially potentially pop eric Cole.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Eric Cole. I did not like what I saw from
- 14:08Speaker 1: him this week, but generally he's a pretty accurate driver.
- 14:11Speaker 1: He loves his golf course, and he grinded out an
- 14:13Speaker 1: even par round, So eric Cole I think could be
- 14:16Speaker 1: in for a nice little round to make the cut tomorrow.
- 14:20Speaker 1: He was inaccurate today, but I think he's generally a
- 14:23Speaker 1: very very accurate driver. So I don't mind eric Cole tomorrow.
- 14:26Speaker 1: But that leads us to one player that I am on.
- 14:30Speaker 1: We're not going to waste any time here. It is
- 14:33Speaker 1: the one guy I'm going to be on for tomorrow,
- 14:35Speaker 1: not David Ford. Aaron Rye T eight minus three in
- 14:40Speaker 1: round one really really solid profile. Hit ten of fourteen fairways,
- 14:45Speaker 1: get a full stroke on approach, and put well but
- 14:48Speaker 1: didn't pop. This is the profile that we are looking for,
- 14:50Speaker 1: very similar to kind of Colin in Round four last
- 14:52Speaker 1: week who popped for us tremendously. So Aron and I
- 14:56Speaker 1: is hitting his fairways, he's hitting really good iron shots,
- 14:58Speaker 1: and he's making some putts, but he didn't really pop
- 15:00Speaker 1: one of those categories. He's doing everything correct but not
- 15:04Speaker 1: anything too specifically. And he's gonna go out in that
- 15:06Speaker 1: PM wave, which could be a potential advantage, like especially
- 15:10Speaker 1: if it rains a little bit, just soften the greens
- 15:11Speaker 1: up a tad and he could be in for a
- 15:14Speaker 1: really really nice round. Let's see we got Let's get
- 15:18Speaker 1: to us some questions before we get add here Smally.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Let's look at Smally. Yeah, I don't mind gubbling down
- 15:26Speaker 1: on so he didn't play bad today. He only shot
- 15:28Speaker 1: one over. He like, yeah, he was ninety fifth and putting.
- 15:32Speaker 1: He's definitely a Bermuda guy. He generally is really good
- 15:34Speaker 1: on Bermuda. I would do not mind at all going
- 15:37Speaker 1: back in on Smallly. I think he is a good
- 15:39Speaker 1: play for sure. So as always, uh, the slate plan
- 15:45Speaker 1: that will be up in the next thirty minutes or so,
- 15:48Speaker 1: so get to the site. Use code boots and you
- 15:50Speaker 1: can get the slate pant slate plan, use this, use
- 15:54Speaker 1: the projections, use the stone to build your player pool,
- 15:59Speaker 1: and plug it all into the optimizer and cash with us.
- 16:02Speaker 1: It's not rocket science, so easy show today quick, you
- 16:07Speaker 1: know what we're looking for, driving accuracy approach. As always
- 16:12Speaker 1: song of the day, You're so ugly when you cry
- 16:15Speaker 1: by the funeral portrait. Hope you guys enjoy and as always,
- 16:19Speaker 1: let's absolutely ship it. Peace out, catch you tomorrow.
