00:00here on a Wednesday, a golf Wednesday on C2C.

00:04Of course, every week we take you through the PGA TOUR's action for this weekend.

00:08We got a big DP World Tour event as well.

00:10Cam Stewart, the Prime Minister, is with me every week as we run through the card.

00:16And Cam, great to see you as always.

00:18We don't have a lot of time, but I'll just say it quickly.

00:19I'm sorry.

00:20You had Jagerbomb on Sunday at the Sony, and he completely collapsed in the last two or

00:26three holes.

00:27We end up with Nick the Dentist Taylor and Echevarria in the playoff, which is just wild.

00:34But not a good scene, Cam.

00:35I'm sorry about Jagerbomb.

00:36I apologize.

00:37It's not in golf.

00:38And I got a piece of Taylor, but yeah, winning four or five grand is a hell of a lot better

00:42than hundreds.

00:43But you know what, Carver?

00:44We'll take what we can get.

00:45Let's move on the Amex.

00:46Weird tournament, three courses, and fill in the people.

00:48We got lots of picks.

00:50We get away from Hawaii now, where we really start the West Coast swing at the Amex in

00:55La Quinta.

00:56And this is a weird one, Cam, as you say.

00:58It's a hard tournament because they play three courses over a three-day span.

01:04Then they cut to one group of guys for the final round on Sunday.

01:08So very strange format.

01:10They of course play the Pete Dye, the La Quinta Country Club, and the Nicholas are the three

01:16spots.

01:17We had some guys drop out, like Xander.

01:18He's not playing.

01:19Dangerous Denny McCarthy.

01:20We do have Son JM, Justin Thomas, Sam Burns.

01:23Mr. Burns is here.

01:25Patrick Cantlay, Finau, and a few others.

01:28So we do have some names, quote-unquote, here for us this week, Cam.

01:33Let me start you off with the outrights on my side for the Amex.

01:37I was tempted to put Cantlay in because I feel like he is a little further down than

01:41he probably should be, considering this field.

01:45But I'm going to go Burns instead, Cam, because he's got some better history here at the Amex.

01:50So 16-1 is my chalkier pick for Burns.

01:53Wyndham Clark.

01:54I thought he played well in Hawaii.

01:5533-1 at the century.

01:56I'm going to take a shot there.

01:58The postman ringing.

01:59He didn't ring for you last week, Cam.

02:01He's run the bell a little bit here at the Amex.

02:03Has some good finishes.

02:0555-1 for him.

02:06I love the way Sepp Strakas played over the past few weeks at a 60-1.

02:10Tom Hoagy, 60-1.

02:12Slipped a little bit at the Sony, but loves playing in California, so let's get Hoagy

02:17sandwich in there.

02:18And how about Mac Hughes, who's been playing some real good golf throughout the entire

02:23fall season.

02:24Didn't play bad last week either, and at a great price, 120-1, Cam.

02:29For Mac Hughes.

02:30We had a Canadian last week in Hawaii.

02:32How about we get a Canadian in La Quinta?

02:35Good call, Carver.

02:36The Canadians actually don't get respect by the books.

02:37It's kind of stupid, to be honest with you.

02:39But anyway, we'll take advantage of it.

02:41Let's go.

02:42I'm with you on Wyndham Clark as well.

02:43This guy murders the ball, and he plays like he is the best out of the top echelon.

02:47That's a great price.

02:48He might be a little bit surly, but he's got game, 38-1.

02:51Thompson's water seal at 40-1.

02:53Hits it straight.

02:54That's what you need.

02:55Birdie trade.

02:56Uh-oh, Carver.

02:57I did it.

02:58Will Zalatorre's put on a few LBs.

02:59Hopefully a win at 55.

03:00I have an addiction to Eric Cole, and one day he's going to win.

03:03Top five last week, and I'm going out for some fish.

03:06Salmon, please, with Patrick Fishburne at 70-1.

03:10Popular pick this week.

03:11I'm scared.

03:12I almost texted you, Cam.

03:13I would have been so mad if Eric Cole won that tournament last week, and he was in the

03:17mix on the weekend.

03:18Me and you have played Eric Cole a billion times, and he never comes through.

03:22Here's the placements for me.

03:23Sun Jae-in, you saw him near the top of the board.

03:25Also plays well here.

03:26I'm not going to play him in a win, though, because he never wins.

03:28Top five, though, at plus 330.

03:30I'll go there.

03:31Top 10.

03:32How about Harry Hall the past couple weeks, Cam?

03:34His double H has been on fire.

03:36Plus 450 for a top 10.

03:38There you go, Cam.

03:39You got me in on Eric Cole.

03:40Top 10 at 6-1.

03:42Let's go there.

03:43Siwoo Kim, former winner here at top 20 at 180.

03:45Nicky Dunlap, won here last year as an amateur.

03:48Top 20 at plus 240.

03:50And here we go.

03:51The bomb placement of the week.

03:52Your boy, Matteo Manisero, got his card through the DP World Tour last year.

03:57His first event with a card on the PGA Tour.

04:00Let's get a top 20 out of him on a course that I think he can handle.

04:03The guy won in Europe.

04:04You're giving him almost 8-1 at that price?

04:07That's nuts.

04:08Top 10.

04:09Him always is top 10 here.

04:10Plus 130.

04:11I like your top five.

04:12Bold.

04:13Mr. Burns, top 10, almost 2-1.

04:14And here we go.

04:15Echeverria.

04:16Carver talked about it.

04:17This guy's one of the hottest players in the world.

04:182-1 there.

04:19Top 20.

04:20Sepp Straka, underrated golfer.

04:21They're every week.

04:22Plus 210.

04:23Mack Meisner, popular pick this week with Brady Cannon.

04:26Top 40 for a plus 110.

04:27And Jackson who?

04:28Uber?

04:29No.

04:30I need a Zuber.

04:31Extra.

04:32I'm going all the way to Long Island.

04:33Plus 180 for Zuber.

04:34Top 40.

04:35Cam, first round leaders are weird this week.

04:39Three courses.

04:40So, three separate groups of first round leaders.

04:45For LaQuinta, Cantlay at 14-1, Keith Mitchell at 28-1 for me.

04:48In fact, I'm going to even throw Chris Kirk in at 35-1.

04:51The Nicholas course.

04:52Michael Kim at 25-1.

04:54Mark put the Hubbard in the cupboard at 28-1.

04:56Give me Cam Young at 18-1 as well.

04:58On the Pete Dye.

04:59Mac Hughes again, 28-1.

05:01Taylor Montgomery, I can't quit him, at 45-1.

05:04And give me EVR, Eric Van Aroyen, at 28-1 on the Pete Dye as well, Cam.

05:09Love it.

05:10I'm going to ride your guys too, Carver.

05:11I got at LaQuinta, Zalatoris at 25-1.

05:13Hot starter, Eric Cole, Mr. Thursday.

05:15Can you do better?

05:1628-1.

05:17Bo Hosler loves the first round.

05:1825-1.

05:19Norlander, out of the gate, 33-1.

05:21Bud Cawley, he's back, 30-1.

05:23And Brendan Todd loves these type of courses.

05:26Pete Dye, 60-1.

05:27Incredible price.

05:28The Todd father getting involved with Canada this week.

05:32I can't believe it.

05:33Go for the Todd father out at LaQuinta.

05:36Now, we also have, Cam, a very good tournament on the DP World Tour this week, where we have

05:42a lot of heavy hitters that are going to be involved.

05:45Of course, the Dubai Desert Classic.

05:48Look at this.

05:49Rory, Rom, Tyrrell Hatton, Tommy Fleetwood, Victor Hovland, Bob Mack, Adam Scott.

05:55Some huge names.

05:56But look at these prices, Cam.

05:57I mean, Rory at plus 360.

05:59Get lost.

06:00I'm going to go a little bit further down the board.

06:02I'm going with the Dean.

06:04Dean Burmeister, 33-1.

06:06Akshay's there.

06:07Akshay Bhatia at 40-1.

06:09And you know I can't quit Paddy Reid if he's playing a DP World Tour event.

06:13So 50-1 for Patrick Reid.

06:15Well, I got a Cole addiction.

06:16You got a Reid addiction.

06:18We both need help.

06:19But Reid wins more.

06:20That's for sure.

06:21Jimmy Rasmus, Hoygaard, 22-1.

06:23The dangerous Dane.

06:24I'm with you in the office, Carver.

06:25We're having beers with the Dean.

06:27Not a suspension at 33-1.

06:29And Nikolai Hoygaard, are you kidding me at this price?

06:31Sign me up.

06:32Hoygaard is unbelievable.

06:34Watch out for these Danes.

06:35They're on fire, Carver.

06:37Every week these guys, a Dane's in contention.

06:39In Dubai or in Europe.

06:42The Hoygaard brothers for campus.

06:44We got in Dubai along with the Dean.

06:46I love it.

06:47Cam, let's continue to get going here.

06:50We just started the season.

06:52We're now finally back on the coast.

06:55Next week we're going to Torrey for the Farmers.

06:58So we are off and running for the West Coast swing.

07:01It's cash, a lot of tickets.

07:02Cam Stewart, the Prime Minister.

07:05See him with Gabe at night on SportsRage late night.

07:08Let's get it going with the golf.

07:10Good luck, Carver.

07:11More with the golf Wednesday.
