00:00who else you got for me in the outrights over there at the 153rd you know mike and i'd love

00:05to get your opinion on this but not a lot of guys are talking about my main man victor hovland

00:09victor hovland shows up in big events i know he complains about his game and everything but

00:15you know in the open championship you know yes he missed the cut last year but he was in the

00:19bad weather wave before that he's got a 12th the 4th the 13th you know he's figured out how to get

00:24the ball in the hole from close you know close range over there in the open the majors this year

00:29he's got three top 30s he was third at the u.s open he's number one in the field in approach and

00:34i'm yelling about approach in the last segment you got to go with the number one approach player in

00:39the field i mean for you i mean he was t11 last week in scotland what do you think about victor hovland

00:44i actually uh i i kind of like him and i don't think he's being maybe as disrespected as a few

00:52other guys like i was going to ask you if i had an hour with you keith i'd probably say to you

00:56there are so many guys buried down the board who's going to be the guy that comes out of nowhere this

01:02week is it hideki at 80 to one is it can't lay at 60 to one it's guys who are getting no juice

01:07whatsoever this week from anybody i think victor's going to play very well you're right it's not like

01:13he's been slouching around he's been involved in leaderboards here at big events yeah and i mean

01:18i'll give you two good candidates right here matt fitzpatrick 55 to one you know three weeks ago at the

01:23john deere we're talking about chris gotter up a week later we don't have him on the card and he

01:27wins so we had fitzpatrick last week he finishes t4 and the ball striking we know has been great he

01:32was eighth at the rocket then all of a sudden he's fourth at the scottish but why was he fourth at

01:36the scottish because he gets back to the british isles and we talked about it the putter had to pop

01:40on these fescue greens and he did it he gained seven strokes on the field with the putter last week

01:45now you want to go down to triple digits this one i thought about it a lot i thought about it a lot

01:50i think keegan bradley's a good fit for this golf course now historically keegan bradley's been a

01:55very bad fit for the open championship but if you go back to 2019 and i know how much you love the

02:01irish bear but you probably blocked this from your memory the irish bear missed four cuts in a row

02:06before he went to port russia and won the open championship four cuts in a row for the claret jug

02:10right yes keegan's missed a bunch too he's missed five in a row but keegan's got the ball striking and

02:15the scrambling ability second in the field and scrambling at 100 to one that's the type of guy

02:20that far down that's been playing very well i mean it's like him or ben griffin man keegan bradley can

02:26win and the guy seems like he's on a mission with everything that stands right now in place in front of

02:30him with beth page black yeah and uh you know i saw faldo trying to psych him out on that sky sports

02:36interview i mean nick you get off the guy's back and just give him a let him breathe a little bit uh keegan

02:42winning that would definitely put not not definitely would absolutely punch his ticket

02:46to be playing at beth page if he ever won this weekend
