00:00
Um, all right guys, do you want to go first?
00:06
So we're going to start with both teams, the leading point getter on those teams.
00:11
Okay.
00:12
All right.
00:13
So I'm going to start with the international team here.
00:17
And I think Sung Jae Im is going to be the lead point getter for that team.
00:23
Just felt like he had a couple, you know, aberrations this year in majors.
00:27
But he had just that, that incredibly solid stretch.
00:30
He seems like a very kind of even keel guy.
00:33
That's just going to keep chugging and not to say that, you know, a Canadian or even
00:38
like a rookie like Min Woo Lee couldn't really feel the atmosphere and the energy and use
00:42
that to propel themselves to, you know, winning three, four, you know, five matches.
00:47
But I just feel like he's the guy that has the best chance of just keeping it nice and
00:51
calm and steady and winning, picking off like, you know, three matches, maybe having another.
00:57
So that's who I think is going to be the lead point getter on the international side.
01:01
On the American side, this is kind of like a tricky one, because, you know, obviously
01:06
your mind wants to go to Scottie Scheffler, but doesn't hasn't had the greatest record
01:11
in team competitions the last two times out.
01:16
You know, there are some, obviously, I think the goal is going to have a huge President's
01:20
Cup, but as a rookie, it's tough to kind of put your eggs in that basket out of the gate.
01:24
So I'm going to kind of I'm going to go call him or a cow here.
01:27
I mean, just another guy, phenomenal season should have won the tour championship without
01:32
starting strokes, a guy that I think is going to come in really hungry as though as you
01:36
know, if you're talking about Scottie Zander and Colin being your big three, so to speak,
01:41
you know, those other two guys have three of the four majors that were won this year.
01:44
So I think Colin's going to be a guy that's going to want to come in and prove a big point
01:48
this week.
01:49
So I think he's gonna win the most points on the American side.
01:51
All right.
01:52
I was probably going to take home or cow assault, just take somebody else differently.
01:57
I love Colin for the reasons of, of just accuracy off the tee, eliminating the left side of
02:02
the golf course.
02:04
And I think the putter too, I like them on these greens and just, you know, getting into
02:08
the tighter sections.
02:10
That's why I like Colin.
02:11
But to go outside of somebody, you know, I mean, to me, I don't like Xander's much this
02:18
week because over, you know, I think over the last couple of months, if there was a
02:23
miss that he had, it was left, you know, that, that seemed to be a miss that he had, but
02:27
I still love him on these greens.
02:29
I would prefer probably Scottie over him.
02:34
But that's kind of boring, right?
02:36
You don't want me to say Scottie, but I'm going to give you Scottie Sheffler.
02:39
So when you point getter and the international side, I want to give you Hideki Matsuyama.
02:44
The reason why I'm not is I think Hideki is going to be up to the biggest challenge.
02:48
I think he's going to be playing the best that, that the United States puts out.
02:53
I don't know how they do the, like, if they just have put their five in order and then
02:57
put it out or they kind of go back and forth in that session that I believe happens on
03:02
Wednesday where the, where they kind of draft it in, in I don't know if they do it snake
03:07
like they put out there.
03:08
It's anyways, I just assume they do a draft, like it's like a, you know, it's a back and
03:11
forth thing.
03:12
Yeah.
03:14
I think they're going to put Hideki against their best.
03:16
And I think that makes it a little bit more challenging to win.
03:18
The points are to be the highest point getter because you're just, it'd be really difficult
03:23
to take down USA's best every single session since like, who's the guy that's going to
03:28
be maybe like drawing different, you know, drawing rookies, drawing different match-ups
03:34
every day.
03:35
And my, my brain kind of takes me to it once I want to take Tom Kim just because I feel
03:44
like this golf course really suits his game.
03:45
It's a really straight and going to have, and going to have plenty of opportunities
03:49
and I'm going to go with Tom Kim for that reason.
03:54
Although the form isn't necessarily like, like it doesn't say that on paper, but my
04:00
gut feeling is that Tom Kim is going to have a tremendous president's cup and I'm predicting
04:07
him to score the most points for the international team.
04:13
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:14
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:15
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:16
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:17
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:18
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:19
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:20
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:21
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:22
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:23
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:24
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
04:25
And I think it's going to be a really, really good season.
