00:00All right, how about the placements?

00:02Mac Hughes from up in Canada, plus 400, 10th place, top 10.

00:0710th at Houston, a third at the RBC.

00:10You know, another good comp course here is the Sanderson Farms.

00:12You got to hit it far off the tee there.

00:14You got to score there.

00:15And it's definitely two things that Mac Hughes can do.

00:17He's very quietly put together a nice little last month,

00:20and I think he can score here.

00:21Top 20 guys, Rio Hisatsune.

00:24That name, it doesn't roll off the tongue,

00:26but he's been rolling in some nice leaderboard finishes, right?

00:30Fourth at the Valspar, fifth at the Valero.

00:32He was good, you know, there at the RBC.

00:35Again, here's a guy, really good on approach,

00:37and he's been scoring lately.

00:39That's the formula that we're looking for.

00:41Another kid, Michael Thorbjornson.

00:43Now, you remember PGA Tour U.

00:44Everybody loves to make a big deal about the kid.

00:46I know I do.

00:47Ludwig Oberg, right?

00:48Well, the guy after him, the next PGA Tour graduate

00:52that got his tour card was Michael Thorbjornson.

00:54This kid's a stud from Stanford.

00:56A lot of people are talking about Salinda.

00:58They're talking about Villas.

00:59This kid is just as good.

01:00He is a bomber, and we love that around this place,

01:03considering that they added some yardage, too.

01:05He was fourth at the Zurich, second at Corrales.

01:08Again, Corrales, a wonderful comp for this place.

01:10Top 40s, Henrik Norlander.

01:13This guy, the Swede, he's got one superpower.

01:15If he was an X-Men, he would just run around with a five iron.

01:18The guy is an absolutely exquisite long iron player,

01:20and it's been working out for him.

01:2312th at the Valero, 18th at Corrales.

01:25You know, we're not going to ask him to do a lot of other things,

01:28but he's getting 40 places at plus 137, Henrik Norlander.

01:32And then one more, Joseph Bramlett.

01:34He's a guy that tends to pop here at TPC Craig Ranch.

01:37He's going for a top 40 at plus 200.

01:39And you know what?

01:40He's a great long par four player, and that's why he does so well here.

01:44We do have some head-to-head.

01:48We have one head-to-head this week.

01:50More Braveheart for you here on the card, Keith.

01:53Yes.

01:54And, Mike, you know what?

01:55I'm really disappointed in some of these books.

01:58They're downplaying.

02:00Well, I love the fact that I can do live ads all weekend.

02:03Let me just say that first with head-to-heads.

02:05But these tournament match-ups, they've been dwindling.

02:09Less and less books are posting them in time for Golf Wednesday,

02:12and I'm upset about it.

02:13I'm really not happy about it.

02:15But at the risk of upsetting, you know, the vibe here this afternoon

02:19and keeping the morale positive, right,

02:21I'm just going to take Matt Wallace over Alex Smalley.

02:23Alex Smalley, he's missed four of his last five cuts.

02:26The only cut he made was Corrales.

02:28It's a secondary event.

02:29He finishes T63.

02:30So I'm going with Wallace over Smalley.
