00:00Who do you got here, Keith? Let's go.

00:02Yeah, I'm going with J.T. Poston and his partner.

00:05I don't mention his name because I know it's bad luck.

00:07I haven't bet the guy in over a year, but I got to go there.

00:10And the main reason why I love these two is that you have to get off to a fast start in this event.

00:15Last year, you had to be at least six under par on Thursday in order to make the cut.

00:19And 20 of the top 25 guys that finished on the leaderboard, those teams, they all started Thursday a.m.

00:25J.T. Poston and his partner at plus 2,000, they checked both those boxes.

00:30And his partner is the number one scorer on Thursdays.

00:33He's made Thursdays his home so far on the PGA Tour.

00:36I love those guys.

00:37Now, I've replaced going to the chapel with love with Max Grazerman and Nico Echevarria, right?

00:44Got to go with these guys.

00:45Fourth place last year.

00:47Both of these guys average over four birdies a round.

00:50What they really need is a partner.

00:51Someone who's going to bail them out when they have one of their bad holes.

00:54They did it last year.

00:55They finished fourth.

00:56They're the type of guys that can really score, go low,

00:59and they complement each other's games really, really well.

01:02You know, Echevarria, he's the number one strokes game putter on tour right now.

01:05And Max finished last year number two.

01:07You're going to have to make some putts this week.

01:10You certainly are.

01:11I've got those guys on my card as well, Keith.

01:13And I also have, as we go to the placements,

01:16I really like the Novak-Griffin combination this week too.

01:19Guys that have played really well this year and could both use their first win.

01:23Yeah, Griffin's got three top tens this year.

01:26You know, Novak's coming off a third and then a runner-up loss at a playoff to JT at the RBC.

01:31You know, where Griffin lacks, he could use a little solid ball striking.

01:34Novak's got that.

01:35And where Novak lacks, he could use a little scoring potential from short range.

01:39Griffin's got that.

01:40These guys, when I first saw their names, I was like, I'm going to jump all over these guys.

01:44And definitely, you give me the 10 places and I'm taking them at plus 250.

01:47Top 20, I'm going with Nico and, of course, Max.

01:52Again, these two guys, I feel like they really complement each other very, very well.

01:57And if you think about it, you know, Vegas has the over-under this week, Mike, at 26 and a half, right?

02:02The average winning score in the team event over the last seven years is like 24 and a half.

02:07They're going to have soft conditions.

02:09You've got to be able to go low.

02:10You've got to make a ton of putts.

02:1220 places, a positive number.

02:13Max, Nico, I'm taking it.

02:15And then the Canadians.

02:16The Canadians always show up in this event.

02:19Three top tens in the last four starts.

02:22Nick Taylor, Adam Hadwin.

02:24They hang out with their wives together.

02:25They travel together.

02:26They do everything together.

02:27These guys, they know how to play and complement one another.

02:30They've got strokes, game, team chemistry.

02:32Top 20, I'm taking them.

02:34It's a good positive number.
