- 0:04Speaker 1: Fall. System's going clear, we lift them. Welcome back. We
- 0:37Speaker 1: are live another episode of the First Look PGA Tour.
- 0:40Speaker 1: We have the Rocket Classic this week aka episode two
- 0:44Speaker 1: of the Summer of Birdies, maybe episode like two and
- 0:47Speaker 1: a half. But as I mentioned in prior episodes, the
- 0:51Speaker 1: birdies are flowing once July comes around the calendar. We
- 0:55Speaker 1: just see these same styles of golf courses, the same
- 0:58Speaker 1: usual designs, the same usual winning scores, and hey, if
- 1:02Speaker 1: you don't like it, then there's more tournaments for you
- 1:04Speaker 1: to handicap. But there is ways to make money one
- 1:07Speaker 1: way or another. So first thing I'm gonna do go
- 1:10Speaker 1: through the normal Twitter thread. But before I get into it,
- 1:12Speaker 1: I want to touch on the new design because I
- 1:15Speaker 1: posted the Twitter thread and people were like, it's a
- 1:17Speaker 1: new course, you bozo, And yeah, I know, it's a
- 1:20Speaker 1: new course. But we talked about this, I think it
- 1:22Speaker 1: was it was it Colonial or one of the Texas
- 1:24Speaker 1: events every single year, these guys, the architect guys, and hey,
- 1:29Speaker 1: more power do you guys? You guys? Are you guys
- 1:31Speaker 1: know about your stuff? But in terms of handicapping, winning score,
- 1:37Speaker 1: style of golf that comes to the top, it almost
- 1:41Speaker 1: never makes a difference even if they're big overhauls. Unless
- 1:45Speaker 1: it's like a massive total course change, the ethos of
- 1:49Speaker 1: a golf course does not change too much even with
- 1:51Speaker 1: designers coming in and making it a big overhaul. So
- 1:54Speaker 1: I didn't even mention it because I feel like I
- 1:57Speaker 1: feel like mentioning it is just like looking for trying
- 1:59Speaker 1: to get different with things when you don't have to. So,
- 2:02Speaker 1: I mean, we saw things like I forget exactly what
- 2:05Speaker 1: design it was. I think it was Texas. Everyone was like,
- 2:07Speaker 1: this is going to play so different this year, and
- 2:09Speaker 1: it was the same exact damn thing. So I don't
- 2:12Speaker 1: get too deep into those things. And I'm not going
- 2:15Speaker 1: to get too deep into it here, but let's took it.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Let's take a look at prior results at Detroit Golf
- 2:21Speaker 1: Club and see what types of golfers have gotten to
- 2:23Speaker 1: the top there over the year. So here is the
- 2:25Speaker 1: Twitter thread one of the few golf courses I don't
- 2:28Speaker 1: want to get overly married to a perfect statistical profile.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Multiple styles have played well here, and it's on paper.
- 2:35Speaker 1: It's like, ugh, I messed up the screen. On paper,
- 2:38Speaker 1: it's like a bomber's track, And yeah, al Drick Pock
- 2:41Speaker 1: Eater was one of those bombers that made it, that
- 2:44Speaker 1: got the job done here last year. But before that,
- 2:47Speaker 1: I'm kind of skipping before that, Ricky Fowler, Cam Davis
- 2:50Speaker 1: did not do anything crazy off the tee. I guess
- 2:53Speaker 1: outside of that, I just skipped down. This is also
- 2:55Speaker 1: a golf course where favorites have done really really well here,
- 2:59Speaker 1: even Bryce not mentioned here, Tone Pendrith, Ricky, Colin akshay
- 3:03Speaker 1: Minmu and then all your kind of buck That trend
- 3:06Speaker 1: a little bit last year, but favorites have done really
- 3:08Speaker 1: well here over the year. Obviously, distance is important here,
- 3:11Speaker 1: but it does not necessarily matter one d percent. Like
- 3:14Speaker 1: I said, Ricky played well here, not doing anything crazy
- 3:17Speaker 1: in the distance. Cam Davis didn't do anything in terms
- 3:20Speaker 1: of just gaining a ton of strokes off the TA.
- 3:22Speaker 1: We've seen players like Morikawa Kirk Rye contend. Those guys
- 3:26Speaker 1: are not absolute bombers. So this is the average strokes
- 3:29Speaker 1: gained per round by players over their last ten starts,
- 3:34Speaker 1: coming by winners over by winners and runner ups. Sorry
- 3:37Speaker 1: let me let me repeat myself, so you guys know
- 3:40Speaker 1: what I'm saying here. This is the average strokes gain
- 3:43Speaker 1: per round by winners and runner ups the last three years,
- 3:47Speaker 1: their previous ten starts before they ended up popping at
- 3:51Speaker 1: the Rocket Morgan's Classic approach one point two one off
- 3:54Speaker 1: the t one point one to three, putting zero point
- 3:56Speaker 1: five to six around the green zero point five to four.
- 3:59Speaker 1: You could see that approach immediately separates itself. So that
- 4:01Speaker 1: is some elite approach play dating back to your last
- 4:04Speaker 1: ten rounds. And this is how many players spiked at
- 4:08Speaker 1: least once. A spike is a plus four or better week.
- 4:11Speaker 1: You could see every single player out of those winners
- 4:13Speaker 1: and runner up spiked at least once on approach accuracy
- 4:17Speaker 1: ten of eleven, distance, nine of eleven off the tee
- 4:20Speaker 1: in general, eight of eleven, putting seven around the green five.
- 4:23Speaker 1: The only category that was universal was approached. So what
- 4:27Speaker 1: is that saying that approach is kind of the key
- 4:30Speaker 1: benefactor leading into this event rather than the driver, And
- 4:33Speaker 1: I think that's kind of surprising when you're taking a
- 4:35Speaker 1: look at like a Birdie fester or the style of
- 4:37Speaker 1: golf you're thinking for the Rock and Morger's Classic and
- 4:39Speaker 1: the short game coming into the week is not anything crazy.
- 4:43Speaker 1: It's really not anything crazy. The ball striking surprisely does
- 4:45Speaker 1: they have you lifting out a golf course like this?
- 4:48Speaker 1: So course history not leaning on it too much. Look
- 4:50Speaker 1: at these recent results, nothing crazy at all, so not
- 4:54Speaker 1: really looking at course history at all. Anyone could kind
- 4:56Speaker 1: of win. Here are some better course comps in my opinion,
- 4:58Speaker 1: so definitely take a look at these five core versus Scottsdale,
- 5:01Speaker 1: the Dice Stadium Course, Twin Cities, Memorial Park, and Deer Run.
- 5:04Speaker 1: So that's kind of what I'm looking for. Looking at
- 5:06Speaker 1: the weather this week, we might get some some win guys,
- 5:10Speaker 1: some dice yer weather. Look at this Thursday weather. It
- 5:13Speaker 1: is only Monday, but look at this Thursday weather. We
- 5:16Speaker 1: have gusts up for of twenty five miles an hour,
- 5:19Speaker 1: double digits all day. Friday should be a little bit
- 5:22Speaker 1: more calm, some pm rain but it shouldn't be too much.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Saturday gets dicey, some rain all day, hopefully they get
- 5:29Speaker 1: all the golf in here. And Sunday there's a potential
- 5:31Speaker 1: chance of lightning. But really Thursday could be one of
- 5:33Speaker 1: the more difficult days. Maybe a bounced back opportunity for
- 5:36Speaker 1: Friday to get make some more birdies. But that's what
- 5:38Speaker 1: I'm looking for in terms of weather. In terms of
- 5:41Speaker 1: winning scores, here we saw Aldrich win at twenty two,
- 5:44Speaker 1: CD Win at eighteen, Rick win at twenty four, Tone
- 5:48Speaker 1: went at twenty six, CD eighteen, Bryson twenty three, Nate
- 5:51Speaker 1: last twenty five. Now something that will change would be
- 5:53Speaker 1: the winning score because this has changed to a par seventy,
- 5:58Speaker 1: So the winning score is gonna be a little bit
- 6:01Speaker 1: different just because the par changed. So I'm gonna go
- 6:03Speaker 1: with like a minus nineteen winning score this week, minus
- 6:06Speaker 1: eighteen winning score somewhere. I actually I'm gonna go with
- 6:08Speaker 1: seventeen to nineteen range. That's what I'm gonna go for
- 6:10Speaker 1: a winning score this week. So next thing I want
- 6:14Speaker 1: to touch on is the contest selection for the week.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I really do love for max Entry contest. I just
- 6:19Speaker 1: think they they set up the best four hundred and
- 6:22Speaker 1: forty four entrants in this contest two fifty per lineup.
- 6:24Speaker 1: You can enter it four times and we don't necessarily
- 6:28Speaker 1: get the exact price of two thousand to tenth place,
- 6:31Speaker 1: but it's close enough. I just love the fact that
- 6:33Speaker 1: you could turn two fifty into twenty bands. You don't
- 6:35Speaker 1: even have to max enter it. Only four hundred and
- 6:37Speaker 1: forty threety people in this lineup, I can promise you you're
- 6:39Speaker 1: playing massive contests. You've beat four hundred and forty three
- 6:42Speaker 1: other people before. I love this one. And taking a
- 6:45Speaker 1: look at the DFS board, we have Cam Young leading
- 6:48Speaker 1: the way at ten to five, Xander ten two, and
- 6:51Speaker 1: that's it. Those are the only guys above ten thousand dollars.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Kind of soft pricing in my opinion this week with
- 6:57Speaker 1: the not the weak and field in the world. I
- 6:59Speaker 1: do like this pricing a lot. I think you can
- 7:01Speaker 1: get very, very very unique here, so that's what that's
- 7:04Speaker 1: the pricing. The one golfer I want to look at
- 7:06Speaker 1: is the top golfer that is Cameron Young. Cameron Young
- 7:09Speaker 1: coming off of a runners runner up finish at the Open,
- 7:11Speaker 1: and we talked about him leading into the Open. I
- 7:13Speaker 1: loved how he set up for the Open Championship, and
- 7:17Speaker 1: I like what he's got going on here. He's played
- 7:19Speaker 1: here three times T forty six, T six, T two,
- 7:22Speaker 1: hit the ball well every single start here, and he's
- 7:25Speaker 1: coming in off of a nice week, gaining strokes in
- 7:27Speaker 1: every category over eight almost ten sdrukes ball striking, another
- 7:32Speaker 1: two around the green, about even on the greens. He's
- 7:35Speaker 1: not the best bent grass putter, not the best. I mean,
- 7:38Speaker 1: this isn't These aren't bent grass greens. These are what
- 7:41Speaker 1: like that weird poem like that. It's that weird poem
- 7:45Speaker 1: mix that the same, the same thing that TPC River
- 7:48Speaker 1: Highlands has. So I don't mind that even though he
- 7:51Speaker 1: didn't put the best at the Travelers Championship, he doesn't
- 7:54Speaker 1: put the best in the Northeast. Typically we're not in
- 7:56Speaker 1: the Northeast. You guys know my thing with Cam Young.
- 7:58Speaker 1: In the Northeast, it reminds him of home and he
- 8:00Speaker 1: doesn't play well. But we're we're in the Midwest here.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I think Cam Young will play alright, He's not gonna
- 8:05Speaker 1: be reminded of home. So that's Cam Young at ten
- 8:08Speaker 1: five hundred. Bring the screen back up. The next golfer
- 8:10Speaker 1: I want to touch on in the DFS board is
- 8:12Speaker 1: down the board a little bit. He's seventeen hundred dollars.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Goes by the name of Marco Penge. Marco Penge is
- 8:18Speaker 1: one of those bombers. Is one of those golfers who
- 8:20Speaker 1: I think is gonna see this golf course and be like, hmm,
- 8:24Speaker 1: I've seen bombers play well here before, and I can
- 8:26Speaker 1: potentially be the next one. Coming off of a nice
- 8:30Speaker 1: thaighteen at the Open Championship, his best finish on the
- 8:35Speaker 1: PGA Tour since the valast Bar back in March, he
- 8:40Speaker 1: gained strokes in every single category for the first time
- 8:44Speaker 1: since maybe a long time. I don't know if he
- 8:49Speaker 1: hasn't gained strokes in every single category in the PGA
- 8:51Speaker 1: Tour this year. So nice for Marco pens kind of
- 8:54Speaker 1: getting the game in order. We know what he does
- 8:56Speaker 1: in terms of driving distance, and like I said, I'm
- 8:59Speaker 1: not looking for ampletely, but we've seen driving distance pop
- 9:03Speaker 1: here and Marco Pench having that distance coming off of
- 9:06Speaker 1: gaining strokes on approach and two of his last three
- 9:09Speaker 1: starts is a really really good sign. So Marco Pinch
- 9:11Speaker 1: is definitely one golfer I am looking for in at
- 9:14Speaker 1: seven k range. Let's take a look at the betting board,
- 9:17Speaker 1: pretty similar to what we're seeing on the DFST board.
- 9:19Speaker 1: We got Cameron Young, Xander Sharpley, Chris got her up, Seawoo,
- 9:22Speaker 1: Kim Wyndham, Clark all under twenty to one, and then
- 9:25Speaker 1: we open it up a little bit. The first guy
- 9:27Speaker 1: I want to touch on on the betting board is
- 9:30Speaker 1: down the board a little bit forty one to one.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Michael thorpe Bjornson. Michael thorp Bjornson off of a T
- 9:36Speaker 1: seven and a T forty across the pond and he
- 9:40Speaker 1: finally got it back in order with the ball striking.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Gained over about four and a half strokes ball striking
- 9:45Speaker 1: at the Open Championship. Another like another about four strokes
- 9:51Speaker 1: ball striking at the Scottish Open. Pop popped the putt
- 9:54Speaker 1: a little bit once around the green was nice. Michael
- 9:56Speaker 1: thorpe Bornson just looks like the game in general is
- 9:58Speaker 1: coming around. He's doing things well and that kind of
- 10:02Speaker 1: makes sense here. His course history here is a T
- 10:05Speaker 1: four and twenty twenty five and then two miss cuts.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Proven to do it here like he played well here
- 10:10Speaker 1: last year, gaining strokes across the board and at forty
- 10:13Speaker 1: to one, I do not mind that number. Thorpe Jornsen
- 10:16Speaker 1: has a caddy in his bag who's caddied well here before,
- 10:19Speaker 1: and I think that matters for sure. Taking a look
- 10:22Speaker 1: at the betting board again, if we go up to
- 10:24Speaker 1: thirty to one, we see Ben Griffin. Ben Griffin coming
- 10:27Speaker 1: off of a nice I'm gonna call it a nice
- 10:30Speaker 1: T fifty nine because he hit the ball well and
- 10:32Speaker 1: just lost strokes putting. We know Ben is usually a
- 10:34Speaker 1: pretty solid putter. He's never lost strokes putting at this
- 10:38Speaker 1: golf course before. Really good sign for Ben Griffin. And
- 10:42Speaker 1: I love what he's doing with the approach. He has
- 10:44Speaker 1: not lost strokes on approach since Ironni Make. He's really
- 10:47Speaker 1: figuring it out with the ball shriking. Kind of been
- 10:49Speaker 1: a lackluster start to twenty twenty six after what he
- 10:52Speaker 1: did in twenty twenty five, but BG is finding his
- 10:55Speaker 1: game again. Thirty to one. I do not mind it
- 10:57Speaker 1: at all, like his course history as well around this
- 11:00Speaker 1: golf course. So Ben Griffin, Michael Thorbjorenson. Two guys, I'm
- 11:03Speaker 1: looking at on the betting board. Next thing I want
- 11:05Speaker 1: to touch on the website ship it nation dot com.

- 12:20Speaker 1: it up. Next thing I want to touch on is
- 12:23Speaker 1: a potential chalky golfer, a potential pivot the one golfer
- 12:27Speaker 1: that I am on and the model, so a potential
- 12:31Speaker 1: chalky golfer this week, Actually I feel like I'm pretty
- 12:34Speaker 1: good at knowing who's going to be chalking and who's
- 12:37Speaker 1: not going to be chalky. But this week with the pricing,
- 12:40Speaker 1: I'm not so sure early in the week, so you
- 12:44Speaker 1: could you could comment below, I don't think this golfer
- 12:46Speaker 1: is gonna be choky. You're wrong, Matt, But I do
- 12:49Speaker 1: believe at on Monday evening and nine pm when I'm
- 12:53Speaker 1: recording this, this golfer Wyndham Clark is going to be chalky.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Yet again. I simply think his price is too cheap
- 13:01Speaker 1: for the amount of good golf he's played recently. Not
- 13:03Speaker 1: a great week at the Open Championship, fine week in Scotland,
- 13:07Speaker 1: T five at River Highlands, a win at the US
- 13:09Speaker 1: Open T eleven, a third place and a win Windham popped.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Starting in Texas hard won twice in four starts, and
- 13:18Speaker 1: now he's only ninety three hundred dollars at a golf
- 13:21Speaker 1: course that he's got a top ten here, he's got
- 13:24Speaker 1: a T seventeen here. I do not see Wyndham Clark
- 13:27Speaker 1: coming in under ouwned. I think he's gonna be chalky
- 13:30Speaker 1: for sure. So he's a potential chalky golfer. Now, with
- 13:33Speaker 1: that being said, do I think he's bad Chalk, Not necessarily,
- 13:37Speaker 1: but if we're just saying Chalky, I think Wyndham Clark
- 13:40Speaker 1: is gonna be that guy. Now we'll go with a
- 13:42Speaker 1: potential pivot. Who do I think is gonna be a pivot?
- 13:44Speaker 1: It depends. This is not a pivot off of Wyndham Clark.
- 13:47Speaker 1: This is actually a pivot at the top, the very
- 13:49Speaker 1: top of the odds board. I think people are gonna
- 13:52Speaker 1: go to Cam Young. I think people are gonna go
- 13:54Speaker 1: to Chris Gottrup. I think people are gonna skip over
- 13:57Speaker 1: Xander Schroftley at ten two hundred and I know he's
- 14:00Speaker 1: not having the greatest results right now, but Xander coming
- 14:03Speaker 1: off of his first all green ball striking week in
- 14:07Speaker 1: some time a TA team at the Open Championship. He's
- 14:11Speaker 1: been up and down with the ball striking. The approach
- 14:13Speaker 1: has been a little week, but he gained three point
- 14:15Speaker 1: seven strokes and approach at Robrokedale. That was his best
- 14:17Speaker 1: approach week since Augusta, So he's finding something with the irons.
- 14:22Speaker 1: He's never played this event before, so I don't think
- 14:24Speaker 1: he's gonna be used to an old course. If we're
- 14:26Speaker 1: getting some renovations which I don't think is a thing
- 14:28Speaker 1: at all. I just think Xander Shrofley is gonna be
- 14:30Speaker 1: overlooked at ten thousand, two hundred and you never want
- 14:34Speaker 1: to You never want to overlook Xander Strofley. He could
- 14:35Speaker 1: pop in any week. So Xander Shockley is my potential
- 14:40Speaker 1: pivot of the week. Before we get to the one golfer, iman,
- 14:42Speaker 1: I want to touch on the model here. We have
- 14:44Speaker 1: the model we did. I will show you real quick
- 14:47Speaker 1: what I did for the model. The four models I built,
- 14:50Speaker 1: we went with We went with bear with me for
- 14:53Speaker 1: a second. We're gonna go to model. We went with
- 14:56Speaker 1: approach plus total strokes gain, total distance plus approach, total
- 15:00Speaker 1: driving plus approach off the T plus approach plus thirty
- 15:03Speaker 1: or better. Made sixteen different models and aggregated it into
- 15:06Speaker 1: this Cam Young number one, Johnny Keith for number two,
- 15:10Speaker 1: Seawoo Kim number two, tied for fourth, Ben Coles, JJ Spawn,
- 15:13Speaker 1: William Moo, and a tie for seventh Michael Brennan and
- 15:16Speaker 1: Jackson Coven. That is the model for the week. Hopefully
- 15:19Speaker 1: he could play on a winner here that leads us
- 15:22Speaker 1: to the one golfer that I am on. This golfer
- 15:26Speaker 1: nine thousand, one hundred dollars Patrick Cantlay. Patrick Cantlay has
- 15:32Speaker 1: a runner up here in his career. That was what
- 15:34Speaker 1: two years ago, twenty twenty two, so a few years
- 15:37Speaker 1: back T thirty two last year. Now, Patrick Cantlay is
- 15:41Speaker 1: not the trainee golfer in the world, but he's literruly
- 15:44Speaker 1: hitting the ball pretty well. He's been consistent, the ball
- 15:47Speaker 1: striking consistent since the players, and that has been since March.
- 15:54Speaker 1: I like the ball striking he brings in. I like
- 15:56Speaker 1: the calm demeanor he brings in, and I like Patrick
- 15:58Speaker 1: Cantley to finish t easily without contention, just go about
- 16:02Speaker 1: his day, backdoor it and at ninety one hundred dollars,
- 16:05Speaker 1: you will take a T six all day. So Patrick
- 16:08Speaker 1: Cantley is the one golfer I am on. I'm gonna
- 16:11Speaker 1: be playing him in DFS for sure. That wraps it
- 16:14Speaker 1: up before we get out of here. As always, the
- 16:17Speaker 1: song of today, I think you may have heard this
- 16:19Speaker 1: one before, may not. We're gonna go with Smokahontas by
- 16:23Speaker 1: Attack Attack Check it out, laugh if you want to,
- 16:26Speaker 1: but let me know how you like it, let me
- 16:28Speaker 1: know that does it. I will be back on Thursday.
- 16:32Speaker 1: With the Showdown content Thursday, Friday, Saturday, so any question
- 16:35Speaker 1: in know where to find me. Hope you guys enjoyed it,
- 16:37Speaker 1: No catch you soon, peace Out,
