00:00Brady, why don't we start with you? Who do you got your eyes on here for outrights?

00:05I made these bets right after the U.S. Open, Mike. I was very impressed with Jon Rahm. He was

00:11fourth in that field for strokes gain T to green at Oakmont. If he could have made a putt, he

00:16probably would have won his second U.S. Open title. He's got the chops for links. He's won

00:21the Irish Open a couple of times. Three out of the last four British Opens, he's finished top

00:26seven. So I think Jon Rahm is great value. I got him at 14. I've seen him as low as 10

00:32now with the adjusted odds coming out early in the week. But you look at McElroy and Scheffler

00:39and I really think Rahm is probably the second best player in the world right now, runner

00:44up in Spain last week. So I think double digits on this guy is a pretty good number. Then

00:50I went with Tyrell Hatton, another live player who's been red hot, nearly won the United States

00:56Open himself there at Oakmont with what ended up being a fourth place finish. This guy has

01:02won, he has the links chops as well, has won the Alfred Dunhill Championship a record three

01:07times and back in 2019 finished sixth here at Royal Portrush. So I love Hatton this week,

01:14got him at 30. I've seen as low as 25. I've seen 30s out there as well. Maybe you'll find

01:19even higher as the week rolls on here again. Like we're continuing to say, depending on when

01:24these tee times are, when these pairings come out and how they factor in versus the weather.

01:30And then finally, a long shot that has really, you know, been showing up at opens lately,

01:35a runner up at Royal Liverpool, 12th last year. Guy's been good in big tournaments this year. He's

01:40been playing great in signature events. He was eighth at the Masters and that's Jason Day. Now he

01:46missed the cut here in 2019 at Royal Portrush. But I talked about these elevated greens, a little

01:52different than the bump and run style, the Texas wedge that we see a lot of these open venues,

01:57the high ball that Jason Day hits could fare well here with these tiny greens. We know the kind of

02:03success he's had at Pebble Beach, maybe a little correlation there. So I thought Jason Day at 80 to

02:09one, I think his number ought to be closer to 65 to 75 to one. I thought 80 was a pretty good price

02:15on the Australian. He certainly is Jason Day being that high down the board. Cam, why don't you give

02:22us a different spin on a very similar board that you have to Brady here? Yeah, well, I'm with Brady

02:30on Hatton. I think Hatton is the play. Let's remember something at a bad 75 at the Masters T14 and

02:37he finished T4 at the US Open. I mean, all in. He had one bad hole at the US Open where he went nuts

02:41and started smashing his club. Oh, that's Ty Hatton. But he's also been really good. Brady

02:46talked about it. Alfred Dunhill links. He won even in the sand and the other live event earlier

02:50on in the year. So this guy's money. Finished six last week at the live event. Could have been

02:54even better, Carver. I'm going to tell you something. But here we go. I like Rahm. I like

02:58Hatton. We're all not doing the same thing. The little lefty that could, it's Brian Harmon.

03:03Oh, the little righty with a heart. Emiliano Grillo's your guy. What about Brian Harmon?

03:07He's won an open championship before. I think that price is out of whack. I'm just looking

03:13at 100 to 1 going, are you kidding me? This guy can get it around. He'll hit fairways,

03:17greens, get that putter going. I think that is an insane price for Brian Harmon at 100

03:21to 1. Carver, I'm looking at some other guys too, but Harmon's already made my card. I think

03:25that price is nuts. He should be around 65, 70, not 100.
