- 0:03Speaker 1: All systems go clear. We lift up. Good evening.
- 0:36Speaker 2: We are live two days of golf complete at Harbortown.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Here to talk the weekend, Here to talk Round three
- 0:44Speaker 2: Showdown of the twenty twenty six RBC Heritage. We have
- 0:48Speaker 2: a nice little leaderboard at the top. Shout out the Euro.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Shout out Luke Donald, got Victor, Matt Fitz up top
- 0:54Speaker 2: with Pat and step chasing them all right, sorry, Pat
- 0:58Speaker 2: and Harris, Harris English in them little Ryder cup action
- 1:01Speaker 2: set and Ludig right behind them.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Looking at today's round. We saw a.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Few really interesting, really fun rounds and shout out us
- 1:10Speaker 2: for being on. Matt Fitz had one of the rounds
- 1:12Speaker 2: of the day and he was a core play in
- 1:15Speaker 2: this slate plan yesterday.
- 1:16Speaker 1: So hopefully you're listened to yesterday show.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Hopefully you went to the site, used code boots and
- 1:20Speaker 2: got that Matt Fitzpatrick core play, so we had that.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Hopefully you got paired him with someone from the Showdown Stone,
- 1:27Speaker 2: someone from the projections and landed on a nice little lineup.
- 1:31Speaker 2: So Matt Fitzpatrick, Ox Shavit, Patrick Cantley, Victor Hoblin, Kirk
- 1:35Speaker 2: Kadiama and Jacob Bridgman all shot rounds of sixty five
- 1:40Speaker 2: or better here on my screen looking at.
- 1:43Speaker 1: How they did it.
- 1:45Speaker 2: A majority of them was all just primal approach play,
- 1:48Speaker 2: and that makes a ton of sense for Harbortown. That's
- 1:50Speaker 2: what we looked for yesterday and that's what we got.
- 1:54Speaker 2: So all of them except for Bob McIntyre and Jacob
- 1:58Speaker 2: Bridgman them them two had kind of not anomaly but
- 2:03Speaker 2: just flashed in the pan high short game days. I
- 2:06Speaker 2: mean not that Bridgman hit it bad, but it was
- 2:07Speaker 2: just like very short game driven. This is kind of
- 2:10Speaker 2: how Jacob Bridgman does it when he does play well.
- 2:12Speaker 2: And then Bob Mack had a really really solid uh
- 2:15Speaker 2: whereas Bob Mack, Oh, he actually ended up booting down later. Wow,
- 2:20Speaker 2: Holy I did my research and like Bob max on
- 2:25Speaker 2: sixteen he's good. And then I had to go run
- 2:27Speaker 2: an errand I come back this is insane. So that
- 2:30Speaker 2: totally checks out. Because when I was looking at what
- 2:33Speaker 2: Bob Mack was doing well, I was like, oh, this
- 2:34Speaker 2: is just all short game then it get a horrible approach.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Totally checks out.
- 2:38Speaker 2: So that makes me happy because I was gonna fade
- 2:41Speaker 2: Bob Mack going forward and he just faded up. He
- 2:44Speaker 2: did it for himself, he did it for us. We
- 2:46Speaker 2: don't have to do it crazy. So I yeah, I
- 2:49Speaker 2: go out for five minutes and Bob Mack plays three
- 2:51Speaker 2: holes and that's hilarious.
- 2:54Speaker 1: I'm actually laughing.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Nonetheless, all the guys that played the really good rounds
- 2:59Speaker 2: were great approach players. So we're going to try to
- 3:01Speaker 2: find some golfers later in the show who fit that
- 3:04Speaker 2: bill what we were looking for. Looking at the wave
- 3:06Speaker 2: split today, we can give ourselves a pat in the
- 3:08Speaker 2: back because we got that right. Bringing my screen back up,
- 3:12Speaker 2: you can see that the PM played a little bit
- 3:16Speaker 2: harder than the AM. And I said, don't chase that
- 3:20Speaker 2: wave split later in the week. Let's get ahead of
- 3:21Speaker 2: it tomorrow.
- 3:22Speaker 1: And we did. We got ahead of it.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Two and a half in the afternoon, or sorry, in
- 3:26Speaker 2: the morning, one point one in the two point one
- 3:29Speaker 2: in the morning, one point one in the afternoon. So
- 3:31Speaker 2: if you definitely, if you stacked, a few of those
- 3:33Speaker 2: guys could have led you on the right golfer and
- 3:35Speaker 2: paired that with the fits who was in the slate plan,
- 3:37Speaker 2: you could have had a really, really nice day. So
- 3:41Speaker 2: with that being said, looking at the weather for tomorrow.
- 3:44Speaker 2: I'm not so sure, guys. I'm not so sure we're
- 3:48Speaker 2: going to get this another AMPM split. It looks a
- 3:53Speaker 2: little bit calmer in the morning, but it's not anything
- 3:56Speaker 2: to write home about because so it's still going to
- 3:59Speaker 2: gust upwards to fifteen sixteen. Here it's blowing a little
- 4:03Speaker 2: harder guswards from seventeen to twenty. But the AM golfers
- 4:07Speaker 2: are abjectively playing worse golf than the PM golfers. So
- 4:11Speaker 2: I think this very, very very slight difference is not
- 4:14Speaker 2: enough to outweigh these better golfers in the afternoon.
- 4:16Speaker 1: So if people are.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Like, damn it, I missed that am AM stack yesterday,
- 4:21Speaker 2: they might chase it tomorrow and leave us some nice
- 4:24Speaker 2: ownership over here with some objectively better golfers. So I'm
- 4:28Speaker 2: not necessarily saying stack the PM, but I'm not going
- 4:31Speaker 2: crazy with an AMPM stack for tomorrow.
- 4:34Speaker 1: So that's where my head is at. In terms of weather.
- 4:37Speaker 2: I think there's a yeah, there's gonna be some guys
- 4:40Speaker 2: that go out and shoot rounds, but I don't think
- 4:42Speaker 2: there's a reason that you can't do that in the afternoon.
- 4:44Speaker 1: We saw it happening today.
- 4:46Speaker 2: The golfers is getting a little hot, harder, So I'll
- 4:49Speaker 2: talk some some key stats we're looking for. We're going
- 4:51Speaker 2: to change it up a little bit for today once
- 4:53Speaker 2: we get to it. But first I want to talk
- 4:54Speaker 2: about contest selection. I'm really loving this fifty five dollars
- 4:58Speaker 2: twelve max. Whenever they this contest comes up, I really
- 5:01Speaker 2: like to mention it four k up top four hundred
- 5:04Speaker 2: to tenth perfect payout structure in my opinion.
- 5:07Speaker 1: And I like this because you can enter twelve lineups.
- 5:09Speaker 2: So fifty five times twelve is what six hundred six
- 5:12Speaker 2: sixty six sixty not the end of the world if
- 5:16Speaker 2: you want to enter three lineups. Only four hundred and
- 5:19Speaker 2: thirteen people are in this contest, there's gonna be some overlaight.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Not everyone's gonna enter twelve lineups. I think you have
- 5:24Speaker 2: a really good chance to have a nice payout in
- 5:27Speaker 2: this contest. So this is my favorite one. I remember
- 5:29Speaker 2: this contest was my best one of the year. It
- 5:31Speaker 2: was Round four at Pebble Beach. So this is my
- 5:33Speaker 2: favorite contest of the showdown slates. So going with that,
- 5:38Speaker 2: looking at some key site information, we're gonna use that
- 5:43Speaker 2: code that's scrolling at the top of the of the
- 5:46Speaker 2: of the screen. I'm not gonna show this late the
- 5:48Speaker 2: stone because you can get it for free. Use that
- 5:50Speaker 2: code boots and get to the showdown stone. Everything that
- 5:53Speaker 2: you could ever want is highlighted.
- 5:55Speaker 1: True approach. True approach delta.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Is massive today, massive this week because this it's right here,
- 6:03Speaker 2: true approach delta. This is going to take away the
- 6:07Speaker 2: three worst approach shots, two or three worst approach shots
- 6:09Speaker 2: on golf course like this where there's a lot of water.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Think Corey Connors who went in the water again on
- 6:14Speaker 2: number four, is gonna have a bad stroke skin approach number.
- 6:17Speaker 2: But that's just one shot to not gonna I don't
- 6:19Speaker 2: think one shot is worthy to outweigh a really solid
- 6:23Speaker 2: approach day. So what this is gonna do is take
- 6:26Speaker 2: out the worst shot of the day, the worst approach
- 6:28Speaker 2: shot of the day, and give a delta based on
- 6:31Speaker 2: the rest of your shots. We don't want one percent
- 6:33Speaker 2: of your shots really outweighing all of your good shots.
- 6:39Speaker 2: So this is gonna look at it, and more than anything,
- 6:41Speaker 2: it's just a different way to look at approach.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna look at approach, which is.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Fine, but this is simply we'll get you on Good Golfer,
- 6:47Speaker 2: So use that code find that stat. You'll also get
- 6:51Speaker 2: the PGA projections, the showdown projections, as well as my
- 6:56Speaker 2: slate plan which is already up. I have my golfers
- 6:58Speaker 2: already on there, so go to the site. Use code
- 7:02Speaker 2: boots help me help you. Now let's talk about some
- 7:06Speaker 2: players who and some key stats that we are looking for. So,
- 7:11Speaker 2: as you could see Fitzpatrick, Lea's a way and they're
- 7:14Speaker 2: doing it in kind of different ways. Actually that was
- 7:16Speaker 2: just around two still kind of different ways, all putting good,
- 7:20Speaker 2: all hitting good approach shots. But it's I mean, at
- 7:23Speaker 2: the end of the day, it's not really different. It's
- 7:25Speaker 2: the profile that we are looking for. It is good
- 7:27Speaker 2: approach paired with some solid putting, but at the end
- 7:30Speaker 2: of the day, just solid approach. So what I'm looking
- 7:33Speaker 2: for for tomorrow is golfers who, yes, are having good
- 7:36Speaker 2: approach rounds, good approach Thursday, Friday, trending with the irons.
- 7:40Speaker 2: But I want to see something with the short game, honestly,
- 7:44Speaker 2: and that is not because I think short game is
- 7:49Speaker 2: important here. I just think tomorrow is gonna be a
- 7:50Speaker 2: little bit tougher. Guys are already talking about the golf
- 7:53Speaker 2: courses getting a little dry. The short game is easy here,
- 7:56Speaker 2: but I do think they're good short game players are
- 7:58Speaker 2: going to have advantage from which I did not expect
- 8:01Speaker 2: to be saying at this point in Harbor for the
- 8:05Speaker 2: Harbor Town Show. So let's look at some players who
- 8:07Speaker 2: fit that bill. Like it's a golfer we're not gonna
- 8:09Speaker 2: go to tomorrow. Michael Brennan, uh, Sammy Vellamachi. Now this
- 8:15Speaker 2: is a golfer that I think we can go to tomorrow.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Scotty Trufler. I didn't even know it's gonna be Scotty Chefler,
- 8:20Speaker 2: but this is he's primed for a pop.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Look what he's doing.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Zero point four off the tee, zero point two on approach,
- 8:26Speaker 2: zero point four around the greens, zero point nine on
- 8:28Speaker 2: the greens.
- 8:29Speaker 1: If one of those pops, and he's still.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Shooting minus four and minus three, he's gonna shoot seven
- 8:35Speaker 2: under tomorrow, if and he has great round three in
- 8:37Speaker 2: round four scoring. So if one of these can pop
- 8:39Speaker 2: for Scotty, look out, let's find some more golfers who
- 8:43Speaker 2: fitting that bill. I don't mind going to Ryan Fox.
- 8:46Speaker 2: I know we kind of wanted to fade him at
- 8:48Speaker 2: in round two and that worked. But his iron plate
- 8:51Speaker 2: is not that bad, Like minus three minus point three
- 8:55Speaker 2: is not awful. Like this can pop to even a
- 8:58Speaker 2: plus point three, and he he keeps that short game up.
- 9:01Speaker 2: We know he can make some birdies and have some
- 9:03Speaker 2: luck box chippens, and we'll take that and show down
- 9:05Speaker 2: all day long. I like to fade him in round two,
- 9:08Speaker 2: but I might be back in with him in round three.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Xander's short game is really worrying me right now because
- 9:14Speaker 2: it's been constantly read, which is not what I like
- 9:16Speaker 2: to see this profile. Brian Harmon had a nice bounce
- 9:20Speaker 2: back round today and which we kind of figured. We
- 9:22Speaker 2: talked about him yesterday and he yet the pop. We
- 9:26Speaker 2: know this is a great course fit for him. He's
- 9:27Speaker 2: very popular golf of this week. People might have a
- 9:29Speaker 2: jumped ship, but he is yet to pop on approach
- 9:32Speaker 2: the short game is there.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I like that a lot. This is a nice profile.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Michael thorpe Jurnson.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Anytime he's doing good around the green is a good
- 9:39Speaker 2: sign because he's generally losing strokes around the green. I
- 9:41Speaker 2: don't necessarily love this putter, but the iron player is
- 9:44Speaker 2: in the right direction. We know he's a great iron
- 9:46Speaker 2: player as well, so this point four in two rounds
- 9:49Speaker 2: can double. He can gain a full stroke on approach
- 9:52Speaker 2: would not surprise me at all. Who else down the
- 9:55Speaker 2: board a little bit has a nice profile, Brian Campbell.
- 9:58Speaker 2: I don't mind he's always gonna lose strokes up the
- 10:00Speaker 2: The approach play isn't that bad.
- 10:02Speaker 1: The short game is solid. Who else?
- 10:04Speaker 2: I don't want to chase Jason Days losing too much
- 10:07Speaker 2: on approach. It's crazy, Like you see how as we
- 10:09Speaker 2: scroll down this column right here, this is approach. It's
- 10:14Speaker 2: so corollary to success. It's crazy how corollary to approach
- 10:18Speaker 2: is to success on this golf course. So down here
- 10:21Speaker 2: it really gets bleakd. But we might need some guys
- 10:23Speaker 2: down here, so I'll try to give you someone. Alex Norn.
- 10:28Speaker 2: I don't want to chase minus two around the green.
- 10:29Speaker 2: But Alex Norton is generally a really good short game player,
- 10:32Speaker 2: a really good chipper, So gaining strokes on approach, I
- 10:35Speaker 2: don't mind that at all. And then right here, David
- 10:39Speaker 2: Lipsky's he's about a zero one approach a zero around
- 10:44Speaker 2: the green. Those are the two stats I'm kind of
- 10:45Speaker 2: looking for. So that stat profile is really solid in
- 10:49Speaker 2: my opinion for David Lipsky. So that's kind of what
- 10:52Speaker 2: I'm looking for. Short by approach, short by around the green.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Use those stats to find the players that you that
- 10:59Speaker 2: you're constantly looking for tomorrow. So the one player that
- 11:03Speaker 2: I am on, I know this segment that we all love,
- 11:05Speaker 2: the segment that we are waiting for. I like to
- 11:08Speaker 2: scroll up and down from good player to bad player
- 11:11Speaker 2: to like price trains, and this is a golfer that
- 11:14Speaker 2: I like a lot. I kind of play him a
- 11:17Speaker 2: decent bit.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Guest.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Who do you think I'm on this week on tomorrow?
- 11:22Speaker 2: Sorry Tommy Fleetwood. Now this profile doesn't really make sense
- 11:30Speaker 2: based on what I am talking about. Minus one point
- 11:32Speaker 2: four off the t minus one point two around the green.
- 11:36Speaker 2: But look where he was after round one. Tommy Fleetwood
- 11:39Speaker 2: lost two and like almost five strokes ball striking in
- 11:42Speaker 2: one round. That that's to be one of his worst
- 11:44Speaker 2: ball striking rounds of his career, truthfully, but it's all
- 11:48Speaker 2: it's in round two he got it back to where
- 11:51Speaker 2: to a much better number. That tells me the ball
- 11:53Speaker 2: striking is trending in a very very solid direction. The
- 11:57Speaker 2: around the green play has also came back. It's great
- 12:00Speaker 2: in there. The putter is what it is. I'm not
- 12:02Speaker 2: really worried about the putter. I just see this ball
- 12:04Speaker 2: striking trending in the right direction for Tommy lad pairedly
- 12:08Speaker 2: in my short game, he is at plus one. He's
- 12:13Speaker 2: gonna go out with no pressure. He and Tommy loves
- 12:15Speaker 2: the back door thing. So I love Tommy Fleetwood tomorrow.
- 12:18Speaker 2: I think he's a great candidate for to position himself
- 12:22Speaker 2: for a backdoor top ten on Sunday. Maybe ride him
- 12:25Speaker 2: on Saturday and Sunday. Yeah, Tommy Fleetwood definitely can make
- 12:29Speaker 2: eight birdies like I wouldn't. I'm not saying he's going
- 12:31Speaker 2: to make great berdies. I hope he is because he
- 12:33Speaker 2: keep playing it because I'm gonna play him. But he
- 12:35Speaker 2: can go super low. He can win and do it
- 12:38Speaker 2: in difficult conditions.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Is there gonna be eight birdies out there tomorrow? Yes?
- 12:43Speaker 1: Is it gonna be as often as it was today,
- 12:44Speaker 1: I'll say no.
- 12:45Speaker 2: But Bogey Voidings I think is going to be more
- 12:48Speaker 2: crucial tomorrow than it was today. And Tommy I trust
- 12:51Speaker 2: in that regard, So that does it. Song of the
- 12:56Speaker 2: Day for today is Bulls in the Bronx by Pierce
- 13:00Speaker 2: de Veal, generational band, generational song.
- 13:03Speaker 1: As always, Let's ship it.
- 13:05Speaker 2: I'll catch you guys tomorrow night with the Round four
- 13:08Speaker 2: Showdown preview and yeah, any questions you don't find me,
- 13:11Speaker 2: peace out,
