00:00so let's get to this smile the truest championship formerly the wells fargo now the truest and we had

00:06this a few years ago too right the quail was being used for i think it was the president's cup that

00:10year so they played in maryland and max homo one so they're playing at the philly cricket club this

00:17week we're so used to playing at the same places every single year aside from the majors and you

00:23hear all the stories all the time guys taking a trip to augusta to go play like a month before

00:29the masters guys go take a trip wherever the u.s open is gonna go over here would that happen for

00:34something like this week smiley like would would guys go and do this of course they really don't

00:39play ever but it's a i know it's not a major but a signature event you're like you're getting paid

00:45more than most of the majors now do you think guys have went and checked have gone and checked this

00:49place out before this week or is this all brand new it's going to be brand new for just about

00:54everybody unless they just happen to be in the philly area and they knew a member that wanted

00:58to have them out that's pretty much the only experience that many of these players and unless

01:03they just grew up in the northeast area right uh but a lot of players have done their homework you

01:07know there there's a philly cricket club has a tremendous website where they have flyovers of

01:12every single hole it's a classic tilling has golf course that is awesome i mean just the the overall

01:18architecture and the layout of this place is unbelievable the players are going to be really uh you

01:24know the strategy that involved as far as what clubs they hit off tees um how firm it gets they're

01:29expecting a little bit of rain that might soften it up to where you know players like rory uh might

01:34have a little bit of advantage with their driver but if it's firm enough where everybody is able to

01:39kind of be playing from inside of wedge distances which i expect with 12 par fours and uh i would say

01:45a shorter type of golf course for the pga tour uh it could come down to who's short iron game and

01:50who's putting it the best with some slopey greens so we'll see how crazy they kind of get with the

01:55the pace of the greens and how fast they get them and and uh where they want to put some hole locations

02:00because uh that's how they're going to test these players this week uh rory is here as the favorite

02:07i've got him at plus 450 right now colin 14 to 1 xander 16 to 1 oberg 16 to 1 jt 18 to 1 uh and then

02:16down and down as far we go uh who are you looking for here this week especially with a place that

02:21like we said none of us really know you know rory is where you probably need to start which is how

02:26well he's playing but i i think my one and done pick is going to come from somebody who i believe is a

02:31really good iron player and a and a good putter on fast greens i i think a player too that is comfortable

02:38playing in the northeast cantlay is a player that really comes to mind for me his putting's been kind

02:43of so so this season but i really like the way he's striking the golf ball especially short irons

02:47morikawa another player like russell henley is also putted well this season those are kind of three

02:53players i have my eye on this week uh rory would make a whole lot of sense but kind of feel like i

02:59want to save him my one and done strategy maybe for the following week uh which would make a lot of

03:03sense at quail hollow where he's won four times

03:05you
