00:00Scottie Scheffler and Rory are the favorites heading into this week.

00:04Remember, this is a hometown gig for Rory.

00:06He's a Northern Ireland guy.

00:08He missed the cut at Portrush last time they were here in 19.

00:12So this one's been circled on his calendar for a long time.

00:15Well, I mean, can he handle the stress of playing at home

00:19and playing in front of all those lunatics in Northern Ireland?

00:24I don't know.

00:25You know, I got to tell you, I like the Irish Bear more than I like him.

00:30I've already seen this guy get it done last time.

00:34So he's not even on that board right there.

00:37And I got to tell you another thing.

00:39I'm not interested in Fleetwood Mac.

00:42And I got to tell you, I like the Europeans in these things,

00:46even though everyone runs to the American Scheffler and whatever.

00:51And the way Rom played at the Live, he played great for the most part.

00:57I think he looks ready as well, don't you?

01:00I like Jon Rahm a lot this week.

01:04I really – he will be on my card on Wednesday when we do all the picks.

01:08And Irish Bear is 33-1 right now.

01:11He's just underneath that board that you saw there.

01:16You know I always play the Irish Bear.

01:18So he's going to be there for me too this week.

01:21Could he ever – could he possibly do it?

01:23Is there too much stress?

01:24These guys don't repeat at the British.

01:27It's very tough, especially, you know, you're going back to a track where you won.

01:31Remember, that's the last time he won solo.

01:32His other win was in the team event with Rory since then.

01:35So a lot of memories for him there.

01:37We'll see if he can get it done.

01:38We'll see you.
