00:00All right, Keith, let's get the rest of the outrights, including someone who I am on as
00:07well.
00:08And since the Masters, this player has not finished worse than 16th in any of his starts.
00:15Third, ninth, 16th, fourth, fourth, second, 14th, 13th, fourth.
00:19He's been in final groups a bunch of times.
00:21He's had some problems putting on Sunday that's cost him.
00:24But Keith, Colin Morikawa has been banging on the door.
00:28Maybe this is the weekend.
00:30I tell you what, that was quick.
00:32So for those not counting at home, that's five top fives in those 10 starts.
00:36The guy has been absolutely flawless.
00:39And what used to be one of his, you know, flaws has now become a strength.
00:43He's an unbelievable scrambler and a putter, and that's what led to this consistent stretch.
00:48So over there at a place where he's already won a Claret Jug, I love him to capture one
00:52again.
00:53There's no doubt about that.
00:54You got to love Morikawa.
00:55He's super live this week.
00:57After him, I'm looking at Patrick Cantlie.
00:59And here's why.
01:00I did a deep dive on links play and also wind play with all the shifting that's going around
01:05over there.
01:06You'd be surprised to know, Carver, obviously not.
01:09Number one is Scotty Scheffler, one of the best wind players in the world.
01:12But second on that wind list was Patrick Cantlie.
01:15And here's why.
01:16He's a really good driver of the golf ball.
01:18He's gotten that back with that third place there at Pinehurst and then a fifth at the
01:22Travelers.
01:23And then he's also an incredible scrambler.
01:25And we're going to need that at Royal Troom because the greens are small when it comes
01:29to the open rota over there.
01:31And then my fourth guy, Ken Tony Feenow, finally finished one off.
01:35He's had five top 18s in a row.
01:38He's gained over nine strokes against the field in his last five starts.
01:42This guy has been playing flawlessly.
01:45And believe it or not, Carver, he's gaining with the putter in his last three.
01:50So you look at the Open Championship, you say, well, how's that flat trajectory from
01:53Feenow play out over here?
01:55It plays out very nicely.
01:56In seven starts, he has six top 30 finishes.
