00:00The place must always go nuts when you get a senior that does well.

00:04Was everyone buzzing with Freddie today,

00:06holing out on 14 and being one under here?

00:09Everyone loves Freddie.

00:11Well, it's funny because the vibe as it starts the day

00:14is everyone feels like Christmas morning.

00:16It doesn't matter what age you are.

00:17And we've waited so many months in order to get back into major season.

00:21And that's one of the big reasons why I think the Masters just stands out

00:24amongst all the other major championships.

00:26That and everyone knows the golf course.

00:28But you always get one of these runs.

00:30And a lot of people were talking about Longer and his 41st start

00:33and all of this stuff.

00:34But at the end of the day, Freddie is just so classic around this place.

00:39And then when he holds out for Eagle on 14 and he just kind of saunters around,

00:43he doesn't wear socks.

00:44I mean, it definitely got people charged up.

00:47You've got to remember, a lot of the people that are in

00:49and around the media center are older.

00:52They remember covering Freddie.

00:54To them, that gives them some energy.

00:56And the place has had a tremendous vibe.

00:57I was out there this morning on the golf course walking around

01:00after I got done with the early line guys.

01:02And there was definitely a very, very hot vibe going on around this place.

01:06In the morning, there weren't as many eagles and big shots and everything.

01:10This afternoon, there was a lot more going on when I was walking around.

01:13And I tell you what, the place is just kind of simmering right now.

01:16The water's getting ready to boil.

01:18I think tomorrow we're going to get some tougher pins,

01:20but we're also going to get some more electricity.

01:21The one other thing about those two guys being in it, Rory and Scotty,

01:25is you can still get great prices on guys who are right by him.

01:28I mean, Conor's 20-1.

01:30Hatton, 30-1.

01:32Jason Day.

01:33Oberg at 20, 18, or 20 right now.

01:35Bryson just made a birdie, so his number moved.

01:38But there's guys there, Keith, if you want to dip in tonight after round one,

01:41who are close.

01:42You know what, I'm going to stick in the markets to maybe some placements,

01:47but definitely some head-to-heads.

01:48I'm going to pound the head-to-heads tomorrow.

01:50I'm not going to go three balls.

01:51I'm going to go head-to-heads.

01:52I'm talking with the guys later on in-game decisions tonight.

01:55So we'll be on at 845, and we'll go through the board.

01:59We'll put some head-to-heads together,

02:00and we're going to come up with some matchups that we can watch tomorrow.

02:03And then we'll just sweat out the cut line.

02:05Right now, the number plus three is at 40%, plus four, 30%.

02:10It's going to be right around there.

02:11Probably plus three, and we'll see what happens tomorrow afternoon.
