00:00Let's get to the placements next, and look at what we have here.

00:06A Willie Zee sighting in Japan this week.

00:10Hey, I know we're limited on time.

00:13Top 10, I'm going hostler.

00:14I feel good about his history here and the way he's been playing.

00:17Willie Zee, last time we saw him, what, 12th at the FedEx, 13th at the BMW, and then all

00:23of a sudden, you know, he disappears, but he's back.

00:25Positional golf course that needs ball striking.

00:28You know what, Willie Zee?

00:29We'd love to come back there as well.

00:31The Gim Reaper, final group last week, pushed the postman to the bitter end.

00:35I like the Gim Reaper here.

00:36Again, another place where he doesn't have to putt necessarily well, that his ball striking

00:40will take over.

00:41I'm taking putting them again at top 20.

00:43Now, Carver, there's 14 guys from the Japanese golf tour in this event.

00:48I'm going with Ryosuke Kinoshita, right?

00:51Okay.

00:52Runner-up last week at the Japan Open.

00:55This guy, he played at Royal Troon.

00:57Since then, he's got, I mean, listen to this, he's got 7th, 17th, 6th, and 2nd there at

01:02the Japan Open.

01:03He's played good here before.

01:05He understands how to get it done over in the Zozo.

01:08Japanese player, plus 225 on a top 30.

01:11He's got to beat half the field.

01:12And then one more name, a name that you probably remember, Ryo Ishikawa.

01:16At some point, this guy in his career, he was 29th in the world.

01:19Remember, he was like the next Tiger Woods from Japan.

01:22He was a huge star, but you know what?

01:24He's still playing over there.

01:25He's playing well.

01:27Last year in the Japan Open, he finished 2nd.

01:29He came over there to the Zozo, and then he finished 4th a couple of weeks ago at the

01:33Japan Open.

01:35Finished 8th.

01:36What will he do this week?

01:37He's going to finish in the top 30 and give us 3.5 to 1.

01:40It certainly is.

01:42And like you said, there's a lot of things that those players from the Japan Tour can

01:46get by winning this event.

01:49Some huge things, such as Masters invites, two years, etc.

01:53Very, very important.

01:54Indeed.

01:56And look, we always go after someone, and I know you're happy to see Max Homa back out

02:00there.

02:01Oh, there's no doubt I'm happy to see Max Homa out there on a golf course where you

02:05really have to put the driver in play.

02:07So I'm rolling the dice.

02:08I'm taking Johnny Vegas over Max Homa at plus money.

02:12Vegas, it's a ball striker's paradise, and he's that type of guy.

02:15He will put the ball in play consistently.

02:18Max has got to play better than he has.

02:19He wasn't good in Montreal when I was there on property.

02:22And the second one, I'm taking JT over Minwoo Lee.

02:24Minwoo Lee's approach game was atrocious in Montreal, and it needs to be a lot better

02:30going into this event, being such a target-oriented golf course.

02:33So I'm taking JT at minus $120.
