00:00but first round leaders uh are a very fun way to start the tournament off on thursdays

00:05keith uh why don't you give me a little something about fast starters at the open championship

00:10all right mike here's the thing and this is for the three of you guys that kind of set up because

00:13i know you love to dabble here but in doing my research something unique has popped up you look

00:19at the last couple of champions right last year zander he shoots 69 in the opening round he's

00:24tied fourth after one you go back a year after that harman tied fourth with 67 year before that cam

00:30smith in 2022 at st andrews 67 again tied third 2021 colin morikawa i know he's cam's favorite

00:38guy in the world right now mine too he shoots he shoots 67 he's t9 and then go back to the irish

00:45bear because we got to skip 2020 we go back to 2019 lowry shoots 67 in the opening round i think

00:52that whoever you're betting on to win this week you better take a look at this guy if not for

00:57your first round leader but top five or top 10 on that board because those boards you can get some

01:02really good numbers i mean you look at rory right away he's a guy that's plus 250 for a top 10 for a

01:07first round i'd love to hear what you guys think after hearing that uh cam let's uh go to you next

01:14with the first round leaders because me and you go nuts with them every uh wednesday on golf wednesday

01:18on c to c uh give me some guys cam you think could start fast here at port rush well i'm i'm

01:24thinking guys who finished pretty strong on sunday or had good good tournaments too like um you know

01:28sep strak is a guy that's really interesting me he's been bet down on some sites from like 100 to 100

01:33i don't know i know mayo got him at 100 i see him 60 65 i think this guy's going to come out of the

01:38gate hot he had a couple bad holes in scotland but he could be very dangerous how do i not go with my

01:42namesake carver he saved my butt at the us open cameron forever young loves open championship

01:48golf don't be fooled this guy number is good it's 75 out of the gate but keith brings up great points

01:53about uh the guys near the top of the leaderboard too probably going to be there in the end i think

01:57that's fantastic keith but i'm going to go with some bombs there carver maybe a couple guys on the

02:02european tour as well uh nikolai hoy guard i got the wrong hoy guard again last week i had

02:07r rasmus instead of n nikolai watch out for him a great showing in scotland he could be there after round

02:13one brady anybody that you're eyeing here potentially on thursday to get out to a good start

02:19well it was a couple weeks ago and you're right i like to just dabble in the first round leader

02:24market every now and then it's it's really a tough bet to hit it's one of the biggest hold percentages

02:29for the books uh but it's also a ton of fun you know rooting some guy home on thursday and i

02:34thought i was going to get there a couple weeks ago with victor perez i bet on perez a couple times

02:39recently bet him on uh for the scottish open as well uh just missed out on cashing a top 40 finish

02:45with him but he does get out to hot starts he's number nine on the pga tour for first round scoring

02:51he's won the dunhill links championship before he's a very good uh experienced links player so he might be

02:57another guy to take a look at i can tell you here at betmgm most tickets bet on first round leader

03:05number one rory mcelroy number two guy that's always first round leader at the masters justin

03:11rose number three scotty scheffler number four last week's hero chris goddara that's one through four

03:17most bet first round leader tickets at betmgm yeah uh justin rose i think is going to be a very

03:24popular i do have some justin rose stuff myself later on in the show when we get there but i could

03:29see him being very popular not just because of the masters but let's also remember what he did last year

03:33at the open championship uh with of course uh where he finished and he had a great masters do

03:39there's a few guys for me that i think i have no chance to win this tournament but i think they

03:43could start really hot and they play well on links i think wyndham clark is one we've seen wyndham clark

03:48play really well thursdays and fridays recently too and then he just completely goes in the woods or

03:53wherever on on saturdays and sundays i think clark at an 80 90 to one first round leader price

03:59is going to be a lot of fun on thursday i think tom kim also for some reason he plays well on links

04:04courses and i know keith's laughing because how can i keep back tom kim and it just i'm just banging

04:10my head against the wall but he plays better on these courses and i'm going to try it and one more

04:14other big bomb and it's the same one that i give you guys uh seemingly every major because i don't

04:19know why he's always there is matthew pavan uh he's like 150 160 to one for first round leader

04:27the guy hangs around uh on the first round at these tough courses major championships i don't think

04:33he's got no shot to win but on thursday could be a warrior for us but as keith mentioned too

04:39got to get the order of when they're going out on thursday i think for this because it's not split

04:43d's it's not afternoon and a.m they're going out consistently off of that first d when they're going

04:49out very important
