00:00Let's start things off, Keith, as always, with the outrights for this week.

00:07And I, as I always like to do, if we're reading the same mail on somebody, I like to go there

00:13and you have coined this guy, Bermuda Ben Griffin.

00:17And how could you not play a guy named Bermuda Ben Griffin when they're playing in Bermuda?

00:22Let's go, Keith.

00:23Well, and it's not just for the island, although it kind of fits.

00:26I mean, that guy, I could see him wearing pink.

00:28But the point is, is that he is great on Bermuda greens and that's what we're dealing

00:32with out there.

00:33Folks.

00:34Yes, I know it sounds obvious, but that's the case.

00:36It's Bermuda grass wall to wall, and that's a grainy style surface to put on.

00:40So a guy like Ben Griffin, who is second in the field and putting, I mean, he is absolutely

00:46at an advantage.

00:47And when you start talking about the wind is going to get wild.

00:50There's two things that I'm favoring this week.

00:52You've got to be able to put Bermuda greens and you've got to be a good approach player.

00:56He's top 15 on approach.

00:58I mean, Ben Griffin, he was third here in 2022.

01:01He slept on the lead on Saturday night, the 54 hole lead.

01:04He's very comfortable here.

01:06And by all means, at plus 2000, I know there's a couple of guys that are ahead of his favorites,

01:12but in my mind, he is the favorite to win this event.

01:15Who else do you have for the outrights for us out here in Bermuda?

01:20All right.

01:21How about this?

01:22How about Daniel Bermuda Burger, right?

01:24I mean, I'm going to wear this thing out today because he's won a couple of times in

01:27Memphis.

01:28That's all Bermuda grass.

01:29He's great in Florida.

01:30You know, Burger, he's got to be there.

01:33He is 124 on the FedEx Cup points list.

01:35He needs to get inside that top 125 and we've got two weeks to go.

01:39Now, Burger, he's played well all fall and he's got really good trajectory control.

01:44He's a great wedge player and he puts the ball and play off the tee with that low fade.

01:48I love Burger in this field at plus 3500.

01:51You know, there's not a lot of guys that have played on Ryder Cups and President's

01:54Cup teams in this field.

01:55So I think with the way that Burger has been trending since he came back from the injury

01:59almost a year ago now, I really like his form and I really like him in the elements.

02:03Another guy, Andrew Putnam, second in the field and approach.

02:07He's also plus 3500.

02:09He can roll the rock as well.

02:10He's great on positional golf courses.

02:12He's had a good fall.

02:13I mean, he's got four top 30s in his last six starts.

02:17He's definitely a strong player there.

02:18He's got good history at Port Royal.

02:20I like him as well.

02:21And then one more on Monday, Wes Bryan, yes, the YouTube golfer.

02:25But guess what?

02:26This guy's won a PGA Tour event and he won it at Harbortown where it gets windy.

02:30But guess, you know, he was sixth last week at the Worldwide Technology Championship.

02:35He's been good all fall since he played in that Creator Classic.

02:39He is a wet.

02:40He's a wizard with the wedge carver.

02:42OK, and this week you're going to miss some greens.

02:44You're going to play in the wind.

02:45He's born in South South Carolina.

02:47He knows Bermuda grass.

02:48He started the week at 70.

02:51He's down in the 50s.

02:53We're not the only ones that are on him.

02:54I think he has a chance to pull off something special over there.

02:57He's my long shot of the week.

02:59I like it.

03:00Listen, 55 to one for him.

03:02Let's get involved in that.

03:03And anybody who's good in the wind, if the winds are blowing, you got to get there.

03:07We go to the placements next.

03:09And listen, we've been riding Lucas Glover here in terms of placements.

03:14He's had himself a good fall, Keith.

03:16And he looks to continue that out here in Bermuda.

03:19And here's another guy that's got a little outside motivation.

03:22He's 62nd on the points list.

03:24You get between 51 and 60 and you get in those early signature events.

03:27And that's where Lucas wants to be.

03:29He's got a 13th, a third, a third and a 24th last week.

03:33He's a ball striker.

03:34He's going to be able to handle the wind and get the ball on the greens.

03:37If the putter works, he's in the top 10 top 20.

03:40Carson Young hits a ton of fairways.

03:42He was second last week.

03:43I love his form.

03:44And the other guy, Jacob Bridgman, great approach player and a great putter.

03:48First in the field at Bermuda Grass putting, both of those guys for a top 20.

03:51And then I'm going to go blast from the past, all right?

03:54Brant Snedeker, top 40 at plus 188.

03:58I mean, since the fall started, he was 12th at the Checkmasters, yeah, over the DP World

04:03Tour.

04:0426th at the Procore, 16th at the Sanderson.

04:07And he's the type of guy who can play well in the wind with that compact swing.

04:10And he's a great little pop putter.

04:12I love him on Bermuda Greens.
