We already know Siwoo Kim is on the card. I love to hear that because he's on mine as well. And
00:04
how about another guy who's on my card, same as yours, Jake Afternoon Knapp. Give me the rest of
00:10
the guys you got. You know, it's tough to read the same mail when we're both taking an afternoon
00:16
nap, but Jake Knapp is where I'm going. Third at the Zurich last week. Last year, he was eighth at
00:21
the CJ Cup. You know, six of his last eight starts, Mike, have been top 30s. He's been really
00:26
consistent. And the reason being is that the approach game's been solid and the putter's
00:30
been solid. The next guy I'm going with much further down the board. I mean, we had Taylor
00:34
Pendereth last year, triple digits, Cage, Lee's Weiss at triple digits. You got to have, you
00:39
got to have some long shots here. And the first guy I'm going with is Braveheart two. That's
00:43
right. Sir Matt Wallace, right? 12th to Corrales, 26th to Puerto Rico. And I bring those up basically
00:50
because they're comps, right? They're long golf courses where you need a ton of birdies
00:53
like Detroit Golf Club. You look at Matt Wallace's resume at all those places. It's
00:58
really solid, Mike, right? Fourth at the CJ Cup here last year. The guy is an absolute
01:03
birdie machine when the golf course extends past nine, 10,000 yards. And then, of course,
01:08
we got to go with the flying fin, Sammy Valamaki, right? I expect him flying from the trapeze as
01:14
he comes in and probably steals the first round leader title on Thursday. Fourth in Houston,
01:20
12th at Valero, and then 18th at RBC. And I was thinking to myself, this guy's playing in signature
01:25
events. Nobody even knows who Sammy Valamaki is. He's 110 to one. He's definitely further down the
01:32
board, but Taylor Pendereth did it last year and he's doing it with the same recipe. He could bomb
01:36
it. He's a great iron player. Very, very good with proximity to the hole. And he could putt Sammy
01:42
Valamaki finishes out my card on the outrights. Yeah. He's on with me too for the first round
01:48
leader. I'll be playing Sammy on Thursday because he's been a good Thursday guy and he's been getting
01:53
a lot better, as you just mentioned, throughout the entire weekend, getting himself some finishes.
