Let's start with this though Keith a lot of guys have pulled out of this event
00:04
Now the rumors have been out there nothing official yet when it comes to the Genesis potentially
00:11
Moving to Torrey Pines, so we saw some guys like Morikawa, etc
00:15
Go out, but I still think we have a pretty good board of guys that are gonna be down there
00:20
Well, I tell you what with Scotty being hurt and Xander being hurt now one and two in the world kind of off the you know
00:27
Off there at the get well soon Center, right? You've got a guy like Hideki at Matsuyama who's fourth in the world
00:33
You've got Ludwig Oberg who's sixth in the world?
00:35
I think this is a moment right here where these two guys if they go on a little bit of a run right now
00:39
And it sounds like we're gonna play here twice
00:41
It sounds like hey when I get a text that says hey Keith get a hotel room in San Diego for three weeks
00:46
That means it's good. We're gonna be back to the South Course and that makes sense
00:50
They already have a setup there and the South Course that hosts us opens. That's a good venue
00:55
That's fitting like a Riviera for a signature event and a 20 million dollar purse
00:59
So I do like the top of the board as far as the kid because you know Ludwig Oberg when you look at this
01:05
Right from top to bottom. He was t9 there last year in his first time ever
01:09
I mean he gained over six strokes, you know
01:12
Not only just on approach but off the tee he launches it high all of these factors involved
01:19
I do think some of the favorites are somebody you have to pay attention to
01:23
It's no doubt about that
01:25
Anything different here this year north north course south course pretty much the same track that we've seen over the last few years
01:31
Well, I like if you're betting anybody
01:33
I like the guys that start on the north course because they get a little momentum scoring average is about two and a half strokes
01:38
Easier on the north versus the south my Keith's keys for this week are three things
01:42
200 plus 200 plus yard approaches. There's more here than anywhere else. It's a lot
01:47
The South Course is the longest course on tour. That's a non major, right?
01:50
A lot of long iron play. The second thing is is that you got to be a top gun. That's right
01:54
I mean, we're right next to Miramar down there. We might see Tom Cruise this weekend
01:58
Who knows probably not but guess what?
01:59
You got to launch it high here like those Jets because the greens are small
02:04
7,700 yards with 5,000 square foot greens on average, right?
02:07
You got to hit the ball high like a Jason Day who's won here twice
02:10
And the third thing is is that it has been super dry in Southern, California
02:14
Obviously the horrific wildfires up in LA
02:16
But they haven't seen substantial rain down there in the San Diego area either this place is gonna play like a brick with
02:23
5,000 square foot
02:25
On average size greens these guys hitting shots in from 185 205 par threes that are 225
02:31
You better be able to launch it high and when it hits the green, it's probably gonna run through
02:35
so I'm
02:35
favoring a lot of around the green play which I normally wouldn't when the marine layers down there and things are kind of sticky and
02:41
The guys get it in the fairway and they hit the greens and they're able to hold the green
02:44
So little short game launch it high and long iron approaches
