00:05 >> And then you see the odds for the Charles Schwab Challenge,

00:09 where Scotty Sheffler is plus 260 and everybody else is 12 to 1 or

00:14 greater than that.

00:16 So Keith, I ask you first, how do you expect Scotty Sheffler to perform after

00:21 the week at Valhalla back near his home?

00:23 >> Scotty Sheffler likes to win.

00:27 And the only reason he didn't win last week was because he was processed.

00:31 I mean, at the end of the day, he would have definitely won that tournament and

00:34 everyone on property feels the same way.

00:36 And even Xander would say, hey, the door was open, there was an opportunity

00:40 because all the controversy that was circling around him.

00:43 And I was able to get through and win and beat Bryson.

00:46 I mean, all of those guys were thankful for that.

00:49 I mean, just look at this odds board.

00:50 Look how long all the other odds are versus Scotty.

00:54 This place, they've come here for what, 77 years, but

00:58 in the 78th, they've done a complete transformation to this golf course.

01:03 Gilhance, the architect who did Southern Hills, he did the Country Club,

01:07 a couple of majors over the last few years.

01:09 He has restored this place back to the days of Ben Hogan.

01:12 And in doing so, he's only made it easier for Scotty Sheffler to win.

01:16 He's put more of an emphasis on approach.

01:19 The second thing is that you're gonna need a new game plan.

01:22 These guys that have been coming here for four, five, seven years,

01:24 whoever in the field, this is gonna be a new setting for them.

01:28 They have to figure out the layout, what changes have been made.

01:31 And of course, I mean, Gilhance, he restored the golf course and

01:35 he made it shorter, guys.

01:37 I mean, how many times do we hear that, right?

01:38 So obviously, this is gonna be a thinking man's opportunity,

01:42 of which Scotty is the best in the field at.

01:44 And scoring wise, it's not the longest golf course in the world.

01:47 Scotty's the best scorer, short game wise, and

01:50 not necessarily always with the putter.

01:52 But boy, he is some cerebral golfer.

01:54 And if we're making this a challenge about adaptability and approach,

01:58 then I mean, Sheffler's odds are actually very accurate.
