00:00Let's go right into it here at the Rocket. You know, you expect a lot of guys to be off. You're

00:06coming off a very tough stretch, signature, a major signature, lots of huge things. But we

00:12actually do have, Cam, a bunch of guys here who really haven't been playing well. You know,

00:17the big names that are here are here for a reason. They need to sharpen up. Colin Morikawa is here.

00:22Patrick Gently is here. Hideki Matsuyama is here. You know, guys who need it. Now,

00:27Finau backed out yesterday. He's now going home. He's a former winner here as well,

00:31but he's not playing. So here's where I'm going to go with Cam to start things off with my outrights.

00:37If I had to take one guy from that group at the top of the chalk, it's going to be the guy who seems

00:42to play really well on easy courses. The couple times he's played here in the past, he's finished

00:48T5, T10, and that is Patrick Cantlay at 16-1. It's been a long time since Cantlay's been in the

00:54winner's circle. This is the kind of place and the kind of field where maybe he can find

00:58himself back there. Next, I know this is going to be a very popular pick throughout the golf

01:03gambling sphere this week, but Cameron forever young. Forever young. I got 28-1 and down to 25

01:09in some spots, but we know that the game has been there. Actually pretty disappointing the way he

01:14played Saturday and Sunday at the Travelers, to be quite honest with you. But we're going to go to

01:19young again. Some great history here in Detroit. Hopefully he can finally cross the finish line.

01:24Going with Akshay Bhatia next, Cam. I haven't had this guy on my card in a long time. Some signs of

01:30life last week at the Travelers, really the last couple weeks combined, and he played well here a

01:34year ago. So 45-1, I'll take a shot with Akshay. I'm kind of riding Tom Kim. I know it's priced for

01:41me, Cam. I just don't believe that Tom Kim is an 80-100-1 player, and I'm still getting him in that

01:47range. And I feel like one of these weeks, there's going to be a Sunday where he's in the

01:51last two groups at one of these easy courses. So I'm going to go with Tom Kim again and keep

01:55grinding. Cam Davis won for me here last year. I go back to him at 90-1. And how about a big bomb

02:00this week? I was a little surprised. 250-1 for Adam Hadwin. Lost in that playoff to Ricky a couple

02:09years ago, along with Mauro Morikawa. Has some really great finishes at this place. I think it's a little

02:15bit of a disrespectful number for him as well, Cam. So I'll take a shot with Hadwin. He'll be the real

02:20prime minister if you cash that ticket at 250. He should be 110-1. That's a ridiculous price on Adam

02:25Hadwin. Guy's good history here, too. I'm with you, Carver. I'm starting things off with Cam

02:30Forever Young, my namesake here. He's been playing very well, actually. And it's time to close the

02:34door, Cam. You almost won the Canadian Open. You're there in the U.S. Open. Like, let's get this thing

02:39done. Wyndham Clark is starting to show signs of life at 40-1. Thompson's water seal has a perfect,

02:44perfect game for this course. Just nut it right down the fairway. Hit a couple putts. We'll be

02:49fine. Alex Noren. Love the sweet at 60-1. Ben Onn. Can this guy get a hot putter going? If he does,

02:54he'll be in the winner's circle at 66-1. And my old Villips screwdriver, my neighbor's killing me

02:59right now, hammering through my wall, Bob Vila style. But I'm going with the Villips screwdriver,

03:04175-1, Carver. Wow. Blow it up. Villips. The Villips screwdriver for Cam at the big bomb price.

03:13I like to see it. I might add Wendy as well. Clark played well at the Travelers last week. We'll see

03:18if he can start to get some things cooked.
