00:00Keith, please let us know, who else do we have for the outrights this week at the 3M?
00:08Well, at the 3M, I'm going with a footlong, and that's Tom Hoagie Sandwich.
00:12There's no doubt about it.
00:13This guy, he's played in all five 3M Opens so far, so he likes the golf course, right?
00:20We already stated, and you know this, and I'm sure Cam brought it up earlier, but you
00:23need to be a great iron player in order to win here.
00:26The last five winners have averaged about seven strokes on the field with just their
00:30approach game alone, and a lot of that is long iron play.
00:32Tom Hoagie, with Tony Finau, is the two best iron players in this field, not to mention
00:37the fact that, if you want to go back to, you know, he loves northern golf.
00:41That's why he's been here five times.
00:43This guy's the 2009 and 2010 Minnesota State Amateur Champ.
00:48He loves the grass up there.
00:49He's a northern player.
00:50He lives in Fargo, North Dakota.
00:52Carver, come on, how many storylines do you need?
00:55Take him at plus 3,500.
00:56Then I'm going to go with Ben Griffin.
00:59Another guy, just like Eric VanRoyen, on easy golf courses, he shows up at plus 5,500.
01:04I think there's a lot of value there.
01:06Great iron player and a very good putter, and over his last five birdie fests, you know,
01:11look at this record, eighth, ninth, fourteenth, second, and fifth, so I think that he could
01:16score there.
01:17I don't look a lot at, you know, Open Championship play, whether you were great or bad or good.
01:22I look more at the course fit this week, because last week was basically about survival.
01:27This week is about a shootout.
01:28And then the fourth guy I'm going to go with, and now this guy's a little bit, you know,
01:31no one's said his name in a long time, but J.J. Spahn is a really, really good long iron
01:36player, and he is coming off a couple of top 30 finishes.
01:40He played last week over here at the Barracuda.
01:43He's striking the ball really, really well on approach, and in the number of times he's
01:46been to the 3M at TPC Twin Cities, that venue, he's been positive with the putter, and that
01:51doesn't happen a lot of places for J.J. Spahn, so I love his ball striking, and I love the
01:55opportunity with the flat stick.
