00:00What about the rest of the outright card, Keith?

00:03Again, Mike, all these guys without Scottie.

00:05If they win, they win.

00:06If they come in second behind Scottie, we win.

00:09I'm going to go with Victor Hovland, your 2023 champion.

00:12He's fourth in the field on approach.

00:14It's definitely something that I'm emphasizing this week,

00:16and certainly the confidence he has coming in,

00:19having won at the Valspar,

00:20feeling pretty good about his efforts at Quail Hollow,

00:24working the driver out a little bit,

00:26a little left-to-right ball flight, just like Jack.

00:27He suits the place.

00:28Si Woo Kim is my guy this week.

00:32If you give me one bullet, that's who I'm firing it at right there.

00:35Si Woo Kim, plus 4,000.

00:37He's got four straight top 30s on tour,

00:40five straight top 20s here at Muirfield Village, right?

00:46And a lot of those, the putter was not working at all,

00:49and he finishes in the top 20.

00:50Actually, it's like five straight top 18s here, right?

00:53He was eighth at the PGA.

00:54The putter's been working.

00:55I love a good Si Woo Kim rollercoaster.

00:58This is the one place to do it where he's had a lot of success.

01:01And then the other guy, Andrew Novak.

01:03I think he'll be a little inspired by his buddy Ben Griffin winning last week

01:06for the second time in five weeks, his partner from the Zurich.

01:09At plus 6,000, you can get a decent number on a guy that's been more than decent, right?

01:14He was 11th last week, first at the Zurich, second at the RBC,

01:1817th at the Truist.

01:19He's eighth in Ryder Cup points.

01:21I mean, this guy is legit, and he's definitely someone in this market.

01:24And his secret sauce is that he's top five in this field in short game.

01:29So the guy pounds it off the tee.

01:31He's a good approach player, but he's also very, very good around the greens.

01:35Those are my outright guys.

01:38Yeah.

01:38And if you read read the line this morning, which everybody should,

01:41they should go out and get it.

01:42You would know that these signature events this year, Keith,

01:44they really have.

01:45I think you put it nicely.

01:47They've been a springboard for a lot of guys this year,

01:50these signature events.

01:52So make sure, you know, you look for guys like that here this week at the Memorial.
