Transcript

00:00you're talking about experience right so how about a Brooks Koepka how about a Joaquin Neiman

00:04guys that have been or Bryson DeChambeau guys that have been dominating on their tour it feels like

00:11out of sight out of mind with some of these guys including Jon Rahm uh why not one of those guys

00:18taking down the trophy this year you know I I'm with you Joe why not Jon Rahm you know of all the

00:24guys you listed uh I could come up with you know a couple issues that I have we're grabbing a green

00:29jacket seems a little bit of a stretch you know Neiman everyone's calling him a top five golfer

00:33in the world he uses a low ball flight and he has no top tens in any major championship and he's got

00:38about 25 of them on his resume you know Brooks I mean I think the only difference between Brooks

00:43and DJ is that Brooks doesn't put it on Instagram I I just wonder whether or not he's super fired up

00:49in order to compete at that level and I don't mean that he's not here and he wants to win a green

00:53jacket what I mean is that is he putting in the time and effort that a Scotty and a Rory are day

00:58after day after day because he only does compete a couple times a year over there on live for me

01:03Rahm is the guy if you're looking for a winner out of live I mean the guy is so consistent every start

01:09he top tens or he wins uh he's been absolutely fantastic people might be thrown off about how

01:15he finished at Doral he had a quad on his second to last hole on Sunday so he was had an eight on a par

01:21four and that threw him down the board a little bit otherwise he would have been in contention to win

01:25that thing on a very difficult golf course on a windy day I love Rahm this week the odds are a

01:31little short but guess what it's Augusta and it's John Rahm there's a reason they're short because

01:34he can win further down the board you start talking about some of those live guys Sergio Garcia is

01:39playing some of the best golf of his life a lot of it has to do with the putter if you're talking

01:43about top 20s here in the last five years the most profitable top 20 bet is Patrick Reed he's putting

01:50the ball better than ever and he's hitting the ball really really well too if you're looking for

01:54some live action that's where I would center my attention for me my two early leans on the early

02:00line the first one the x-man's gonna give it to you all right Xander Shoffley the guy had Joe the guy

02:07has two major championship trophies on it and he's in the 20s all right like we always talk about I don't

02:14like the number I don't like how could you not like Xander Shoffley he wins this week he'll have three

02:18of four and that hasn't happened since that other guy back in 2000 you did it you know like I mean

02:23this guy he's he in 30 career major championships Xander Shoffley has 15 top 10 percent Joe so if

02:33you're just looking to back a guy like a Scotty that's gonna get there but you're gonna get 20

02:3720 to 22 to 25 to 1 on Xander you know like I mean that's for me that's one of my early leans and

02:44then everybody Keith give me a bomb give me a long shot well I don't know about a triple digit

02:48you know winner here but guess what everyone's all over sugar Shane Lowry right the Irish love them

02:54they love Tommy Fleetwood fairway Jesus they love these guys but they don't win right I'm going after

03:00a left and you know how lefties do here Mike Weir Phil Mickelson Bubba Watson right Bobby Mack

03:06right the Mack attack the Mack daddy is coming to the masters lefty right he's got four top 11 finishes

03:12last five starts he's been absolutely flushing the golf ball and he's got two wins in the last 10

03:18months one with his dad on the bag and then he wins his national open in Scotland I mean what more

03:23do you want you're going to take Tommy Fleetwood who's never won on the tour and he's going to break

03:26through at the masters or you got a guy who's got two wins in the last 10 months so I'm going you

03:32know for me my early leans on the early line Xander and Bobby Mack

03:36you
