00:00The Outrights for this week and yes, I always love this, reading the same mail.

00:08I got a couple of these guys on my card too, Keith, including Fishburne and Thorbenson.

00:14Right off the top, Michael Thorbenson, super, super long.

00:18I think length is going to be a huge advantage, 50-yard wide fairways.

00:22Just let the shaft out, bombs away and make some birdies.

00:25I love him at plus 3,500.

00:27That number's been jumping a bunch.

00:28I've seen on FanDuel and a couple other places, it get up to 45, so pay attention there.

00:33You might be able to buy in and get an even better number than I got.

00:36Top eight at the Sanderson and he's gained with the putter in three straight.

00:39Patrick Fishburne, played golf at BYU, grew up in Utah.

00:43We are in Utah.

00:45Sometimes the golf gods, they like these stories, but he's a top 10 ball striker, top 20 putter.

00:50Definitely long enough to make a dent in those 7,300 yards, even at elevation.

00:55Harry Hall, the UNLV player, member over TPC Summerlin, where we're going to play next week.

01:01Another desert golf course.

01:02This guy has played, he's gained over five strokes on average against the field in his last nine starts.

01:08And that includes a win at the ISCO back in Kentucky.

01:11Another long golf course, 7,400 yards at par 72.

01:14Guy makes a boatload of birdies.

01:15And my last one, Jacob Bridgman.

01:17I brought this guy up a couple times on the placement board, right?

01:20Canadian, but three of his last four starts, top 20s.

01:24The guy can absolutely roll the rock.

01:26And that's a key this week.

01:28When you have 132 rookies in the field, I always give an edge to putting.

01:32It's bent grass this week, but good putters can read greens for the first time.

01:36They're going to have an edge.

01:37So you build out that card, put some putters on it, please.
