00:00All right, placements for you.

00:01I'm on this same guy for the top 10 because, let's face it, Keith,

00:05he has been great in these big events this year,

00:07at least finishing in the top 10.

00:08Not winning, but finishing in the top 10.

00:10Well, Mike, let's be honest.

00:12Corey Connors isn't winning anything,

00:13but this course is a perfect fit for him.

00:15He's already had a third at API.

00:17I'm not sure if that's a perfect fit for him,

00:19but he had a third there, six at the Players,

00:2118th at Valero where he's won twice.

00:23That's his worst finish in over a month, eighth at the Masters.

00:26His last five have been across the board so well-rounded.

00:30This is the type of golf course where you have to be good

00:32at all the little things.

00:33Corey Connors has been great at them lately, top 10.

00:35Top 20, Daniel Berger, another guy.

00:37His last seven starts since Phoenix.

00:39He's had six top 25s.

00:41I'm taking him for a top 20 because I like the number.

00:43And then Bud Cawley, three top 10s in a row,

00:46didn't play the Masters,

00:47but I think he's still going to be spot on.

00:49The ball striking has been great, plus 220 for a top 20.

00:52Then top 30s, right?

00:53We all have 71 players in the field and we have no cut.

00:56Top 30s, I'm going with Patrick Rogers,

00:58and it's kind of an odd name out there,

01:00but here's another guy, TPC River Highlands.

01:02And here, he's been good throughout his career.

01:05You know, both Pete Dye designs,

01:06both places where you got to move the ball from A to B

01:09and you have to be particular about your ball striking.

01:12He was T5 last year.

01:13He kind of had a chance to win.

01:14I know Scotty in the end won by a couple shots,

01:16but there were some guys in there, Clark, Rogers,

01:18a couple others that had a chance to contend.

01:21And then the other guy, you know, we love him.

01:22Sammy Valamaki cannot be ignored for what he's been doing lately.

01:27I love him for a first-round leader tomorrow.

01:29You know, I'm not big on those bets, Mike,

01:31but he has an 8-10 tee time.

01:33He is statistically very good when he goes off early on a Thursday.

01:36He's in the second group, right?

01:38I'm going to talk you into this.

01:39Plus 12, plus 125, right?

01:42Plus 125 to 1.

01:45125 to 1.

01:47125 to 1 for an FRL, all right?

01:50And then, you know, placement-wise, approach, putting, down the board.

01:54The guy gets hot.

01:55He could be electric tomorrow.

01:58And finally, you never have to twist my arm

02:00if you've got a first-round leader that you like.

02:02Believe me, I'll be in,

02:03and I want to let the Prime Minister Cam Stewart know as well.

02:06Quickly, head-to-heads.

02:08Everyone loves Cantlay here.

02:09You said he was striping it well.

02:10He's got a bunch of top threes in the last five years.

02:14Well, just to back up the Valamaki thing,

02:16I saw him on the range today.

02:17He looks extremely comfortable.

02:18I mean, this is a young kid.

02:20He's a big bear.

02:21He is fantastic fun,

02:24and he's been playing really good for the last month.

02:26Now, Cantlay over Thomas.

02:28Thomas lost strokes at Augusta National,

02:30which has the widest fairways ever with his driver last week.

02:33Cantlay, it was a stripe show today on the range.

02:36I'm going Cantlay over Thomas.

02:37I mean, he's got six top sevens in his last, like, seven starts here.

02:41Come on.
