00:00Let's get to your selections.
00:07We'll start with the outrights, of course.
00:08And we have a little bit, I guess you could say, a better field than most of the swing
00:13season.
00:14And that is for two reasons.
00:15A, your defending champion is Ludwig Obert, and it's his first start.
00:20He's coming back after, of course, the little cleanup surgery that he had at the end of
00:23the year.
00:25And it's down there at Sea Island, Georgia, you got all the Bulldogs, all the guys that
00:28live down there.
00:29They all love playing there, so we have a little bit of a better field, including one
00:33of your guys at the top of the board, Harry English, Georgia Bulldogs.
00:38Well, let's go right there first, to start with.
00:40Yes, we have 14 members of the Sea Island Mafia competing this week.
00:44Harry English is one of them, plus 3,500.
00:46Harry, he's had a great fall, 6th at the Black Desert, 9th at the Shriners, 14th at the Worldwide
00:52Technology Championship.
00:53He keeps making birdies, he keeps putting the ball in play.
00:56He is a perfect setup for both of these golf courses, but really for Seaside for three
01:01days.
01:02Another guy, Eric Cole.
01:03No one's talking about Eric Cole at 40-1, but guess what?
01:06This fall, last time we saw him at Zozo, 6th place.
01:09At the Sanderson, he was 16th.
01:11Last time we saw him here at RSM, he finished 3rd, and he gained 6 strokes on the field
01:16with the putter.
01:17Love Eric Cole this week, sitting there at 40-1, and no one's talking about him.
01:20The number could even maybe go up a little bit.
01:23Matt Hughes, he's had two runner-ups in the last three years here.
01:27He's won here before 2016.
01:31Last year on the weekend, he shot 17 under.
01:33I know he lost to the kid, Ludwig, right?
01:35But Ludwig went 61-61.
01:37It was otherworldly, right?
01:38I remember watching that, thinking to myself, this is like, is this the second coming of
01:41Tiger?
01:42What's going on here?
01:43But Matt was 17 under on the weekend.
01:45He's very comfortable here, and he's very comfortable putting on these Bermuda grass
01:48greens.
01:49And then, you gotta go low this weekend.
01:51I'm going high on the odds board at plus 5,500 with Justin Lower.
01:55This guy, I mean, seconded out there in Mexico at the Worldwide Technology Championship.
02:00Fifth last weekend in Bermuda, he contended up there to the bitter end, and he learned
02:03a lot of lessons.
02:04He's making a ton of birdies.
02:06He's ranked third in the field in scoring, and that's what you gotta do this week.
02:10You've got to go deep.
02:11The over-under in Vegas is 23-1, as far as the winning score.
02:16I'm with you on Cole.
02:19I am going to be there when it happens, Keith.
02:21I have told myself I will be there when Eric Cole wins.
02:25This is the type of field, and what type of number, that maybe we can get him across the
02:29line this week.
