00:00Let's get the rest of it, including another guy that I'm on, who has great history here,
00:08has won here in the past, knows the area well, and that is Justin Thomas.
00:12Well, we'll start right there then.
00:15On Monday, Golf Digest, as soon as the odds drop, I do it every week.
00:18I pinpoint a guy who's at great value and I know it's going to drop.
00:22JT was 50 to 1, plus 5,000 on Monday.
00:25He's already down at 40.
00:27I mean, everyone knows what his course history is here.
00:30He won here at WGC event against an elite field in 2020.
00:33He is, Thomas absolutely just, his ball jumps off zoysia grass.
00:39He's a great mid-iron player and where Thomas has been comfortable this year, like Valhalla,
00:44off zoysia, in this region, with the Kentucky fans all supporting him, he finished 8th.
00:49So I love Thomas coming in here in the mode that he's in.
00:53You look at it this way, TPC Southwind.
00:56Guys with four starts or more, the guy with the lowest scoring average is JT.
01:00He is going to have the fans behind him like a Ryder Cup.
01:02They're going to be cheering him on and he could stare down Scottie on a Sunday.
01:05Not a lot of guys can in that range of 40s and 50s.
01:08So I love that pick.
01:09The second guy, is anybody hitting it better than Sung J.M.?
01:12I know he was disappointing at Wyndham, but you know what, though?
01:15There's a condition here.
01:16When all of a sudden you're the betting favorite and you're having to do interviews and your
01:19routine is messed up and you are the favorite to win it all, sometimes the middle tier guys,
01:23you know, they they kind of fall back.
01:26Right.
01:27But now he's tripled the odds and he's sitting in the middle of the pack here.
01:30And the guys gained nine strokes total against the field.
01:33Nine, Carver, nine strokes total per event against the field.
01:37That's how good he's hitting it.
01:38I saw him today on the range right out here in front of me and he's absolutely striping
01:42it.
01:43He's great on golf courses like this.
01:44He won at the Honda.
01:45Right.
01:46He won at Shriners where he needed a ton of birdies, put the ball in play, score on Bermuda.
01:50And then the third guy, Tom Kim.
01:52Now here's what I love about Tom Kim.
01:53He's hitting it great.
01:54We all know that.
01:55He's had a good summer so far.
01:56But Tom Kim is sitting at 43rd on the points list.
01:59He's got to get to Eastlake.
02:01This guy is going to be a stalwart on that President's Cup team at Royal Montreal.
02:04And he can't take a month off until then.
02:06He is so motivated to get to Atlanta sitting at 43.
02:10He's got to get in that top 30.
02:11And next week we're playing 8000 yards up at the BMW.
02:15This is his place to get it done.
02:17It certainly is.
02:18I'm with you on Tom Kim as well.
02:20He has knocked on the door a lot here over the last couple months this summer.
02:24Let's see if he can kick it in this weekend in Memphis.
