00:00A short price on Xander Shuffley, the favorite to win the century at 5-1, half the other prices

00:06for the remainder of the field. But Keith, normally, and in probably every other event

00:10he plays in this year, it wouldn't be Shuffley, it would be Scheffler atop the odds board entering

00:16an event. You mentioned the injury to Scotty Scheffler on Christmas night, out for the next

00:21three to four weeks. With no Scotty Scheffler in the field at the century,

00:26how does it change your approach to the outright betting odds?

00:30Well, it gives us a lot of hope and optimism because we saw what he did at the Hero,

00:33and we saw, frankly, what he did all last year with all the wins and the gold medal. So I love

00:38the fact that the top of the board, although it has some interesting people, you know, Xander,

00:42seven starts here, four top tens, and a win. He's definitely someone to keep your eye on,

00:46but he doesn't have the closing power of a Scotty. For me, I'm looking at a guy like Colin Morikawa,

00:52plus 1,200. He's been there five times, never finished worse than seventh, and the last couple

00:56of years, he really should have closed the event. For me, he's one of my early leans on the early

01:01line. The second guy, further down the board, I'm loving Adam Scott. Those Australians play

01:06really good at Kapalua. We've had six Australian winners, all right, in the last 20 years, guys.

01:11Adam Scott's had a great year. He was third the last time he teed it up over there at the DP World

01:16Tour Championship, right? So for him, at plus 4,000, maybe we'll make a little money in this

01:21short field.
