00:00Let's get the rest of the outrights, including another one that's also on my card.

00:08I would love, Keith, to see Eric Cole get us a win in Greensboro this weekend.

00:13That would be outstanding.

00:14All right.

00:15Well, you know, Carver, why don't we just start right there?

00:18The guy, you know, the book opens up on Monday and he's plus 7000.

00:22He's already been bet down to plus 5500.

00:24He's one of the biggest movers down on the board.

00:26And why?

00:27Sixth at the rocket.

00:28Seventh at the John Deere.

00:30I mean, the guy is impeccable on Bermuda grass and he can score.

00:33This is the type of golf course being on the shorter side that positionally off the tee,

00:38like rocket and John Deere.

00:39If he just gets it in the fairway and lets the wedge and the putter take over, he can

00:43get to 20 under.

00:44I mean, and that's what we're going to have to do this week.

00:46You got to have 20 plus subpar scores.

00:48And if you can't putt Bermuda, it's not going to happen.

00:51So I love Eric Cole this week and it's in the 54th on the points.

00:54He's like he's thinking about signature status for next year.

00:57And another guy just ahead of him on the points list, 53rd, is two gloves Aaron Rye

01:02plus 3500.

01:04Everybody's talking about this guy.

01:05Yeah, he was our darling for DFS and everything else over there at the Open Championship finish

01:1075th.

01:11But before that, he had three straight top sevens.

01:13The guy, he's gained over five strokes tee to green in his last five starts and he's

01:16gained in over four strokes with the putter on average over his last five starts.

01:21It's a perfect fit here.

01:22And with the two gloves, he'll fit in with the whole weather, the whole weather storyline.

01:28There's no doubt about that.

01:29And then my last guy, JJ Spahn, I brought his name up going into the 3M and everybody

01:34was kind of like, hey, Keith.

01:35And I'm like, hey, I'm a PGA pro.

01:37Check this out for a second.

01:38He finished ninth.

01:39Right.

01:40He was also 10th at Rocket Mortgage.

01:41JJ is on a heater with approach play and he's gained with the putter and four straight 129th

01:48in points.

01:49He needs to get to 125 in order to play the fall.

01:52He's playing good enough to do that.

01:54I think back to his win at the Bolero Carver, right?

01:57What'd you have to do to win there?

01:58Hit it in the fairway, be great on approach and get 20 birdies.

02:02Right.

02:03Same formula this week.

02:04And he's in great form in order to cash at plus 11,000.
