00:00Tell us how else you want to play him,
00:01and then we'll do the outrights without Scottie Market,
00:04which you're going to have.
00:05Well, you've got to be creative, Mike, at this point.
00:07And we're not going to go for four rounds at plus 240 or plus 200 or 260,
00:11whatever the number is.
00:12But I'll go one round at plus 1,200,
00:14which is what the number was where I got him for first-round leader.
00:17Go back to Dallas, right?
00:19Shot 61, 10 under the first day.
00:21And if you go look at the PGA Tour website in stats,
00:24there's Keith Mitchell, and then sitting there in second is Scottie Scheffler
00:27with the second-best scoring average on Thursday afternoons.
00:30I'm also going to take him for third-round leader
00:32because if he does start slow, by the time he gets to Saturday night,
00:35he will be in position just like he was at Quail Hollow.
00:38He's plus 300 there.
00:39It's a bigger number, and I've only got to go through 54 holes
00:43in order to get there.
00:44So in my mind, there's less chance of somebody else sliding in there.
00:47So that's how I'm going to deal with Scottie this week.
00:49I think of it as compounding interest.
00:51Bet him as many ways as I can,
00:53and then just hope that he goes wire to wire,
00:54and then that's the only way you can collect.
00:56Yeah, it's – you got to get – like you said,
00:58you said the perfect word is creative.
01:00That's really what you have to be with Scottie Scheffler going forward.
01:03All right, Keith, your outrights, which I guess, as we just mentioned,
01:07are going to be in the without Scottie market this week.
01:11Yeah, all the numbers that they'll put up in the graphic, I'm sure,
01:14are without Scottie.
01:14First one, Daniel Berger.
01:16He won here in 2020.
01:17And what's significant about that is that that was just coming out of COVID.
01:20It was like the second or third event.
01:22It was like a major championship field, and he took everybody down.
01:25So he's obviously very comfortable here.
01:27You know, we know how good he has been all season since February,
01:30but the putter, it seems to go off like once or twice a round,
01:34which is like top 20.
01:37Well, I think he's coming back to a place with these perfect brand-new greens,
01:40bent grass.
01:41He's obviously comfortable here.
01:42He's won here before.
01:43I like Berger.
01:44He's one of the favorites without Scottie in the market,
01:47like right around plus 1,800.
01:48JT Poston plus 3,300 without Scottie.
01:51You know, top 12 at Colonial last year after the renovation,
01:55top five at the PGA.
01:57And when JT Poston's hot, he tends to do special things.
02:01I think back to 2022 when he was second at the Travelers,
02:03the next week he wins the John Deere.
02:05That's kind of the way that JT Poston rolls,
02:08and that's the key right now is that he's rolling the rock.
02:10He's actually improved his ball striking over the last year or two,
02:13but he hasn't putted like the JT Poston of usual.
02:16Poston, the postman's about to deliver.
02:19Another guy, Eric Cole, a huge number here without Scottie.
02:23We are on a positional golf course with Bermuda Grass.
02:26I know not on the greens, but Bermuda Grass everywhere else.
02:28When you look at Eric Cole play Wialeah or Harbortown or Valspar or
02:33Sedgefield where they play the Wyndham, you know,
02:36all of those courses that force you to like not use your driver a ton,
02:39those are the places where he always finishes top 10 and he contends.
02:42So I love Cole.
02:44He's been playing great as of late.
02:45And I think this is a sneaky place where, you know,
02:48he could definitely come in second.
02:50And if he knows that Scottie's already had by five,
02:52he probably won't feel the pressure of not having won before.
02:55So those are my three outrights.
02:57I've got the Cole man on the card this week as well, Keith.
03:02So hopefully we can have ourselves a nice big hit coming out of the PGA
03:06championship.
