00:00Let's start with Tiger Woods. He's on the course right now in his second round.
00:07Five over par through 14 holes. Eight over yesterday opening round 79. When
00:14Donnie and I were here with our guy Charlie Hulme around 1030 a.m. Eastern
00:19Time, Tiger Woods was one under par through his opening three holes. Donnie
00:24yesterday was not my day in game live betting the open. I bet Justin Thomas to
00:29be the round one leader expecting some gnarly Scottish weather in the
00:33afternoon and evening hours. Dissipated Shane Lowry, Daniel Brown both
00:37surpassing Justin Thomas atop the leaderboard following the opening round.
00:42I also bet Tiger Woods after making his first bogey of the day to get back to
00:47even par through four holes to fire a 75 and a half. That was the updated over
00:52under. I bet the under had to be four over or better. I thought I had some
00:57wiggle room. Eight over par. Tiger Woods right now in a tie for second to last
01:04out of 156 golfers still in the field at the Open Championship. Tiger Woods is not
01:11going to see the weekend in Scotland. I like and I know it's been a while and
01:17technically it has already been officially over for Tiger Woods. He's
01:20trying to play it out hoping for some competitive golf but sometimes when you
01:23say to yourself okay like we start to make excuses why Tiger Woods can win as
01:27opposed to saying like okay why should he be a great player this week as
01:30opposed to where he's playing. Hey pioneers number two it's real flat and
01:34play very well at all and then even buying into a notion like like Tiger is
01:38a crafty veteran. This isn't a golf course that's playing this week which is
01:41all about superior length and dropping balls from 175 feet in within two feet
01:46of the cup and making putts here. This is about using your knowledge of these
01:50golf courses that you played before when windy conditions are out there I can
01:53think about these shots imagine these shots and execute these shots and it's a
01:57golf tournament that we don't think Ben is gonna be 15 or 20 under par which
02:01figures Tiger Woods should be able to scramble around and just compete in this
02:05golf tournament and boy we sold ourselves a bill of goods because on
02:08Thursday he was bad he's even worse today he's not gonna make it to the
02:12weekend because the layout was hey these guys aren't gonna go low hang around and
02:15I said what is a good week for Tiger Woods make the cut but just be
02:18competitive don't even be in like the top 15 top 20 even top 30 just play
02:22competitive rough but the dude's gonna just continue to go out and shoot like
02:2579 yesterday and then like I don't know 76 75 whatever it's going to be today
02:30or even higher it's not even competitive golf at this point there are no excuses
02:33where hey this golf course really fits Tiger Woods no golf course fits Tiger
02:37Woods anymore
