00:03 - So at the top of the board,

00:05 I mean, everyone's got their issues up there,

00:06 except when you talk about the Copperhead course,

00:09 and we're speaking of Sam Burns.

00:11 I mean, feel the burn there.

00:13 This guy, he can putt there, he can do everything there.

00:15 He's in five trips there, what he goes 12, 30,

00:18 first, first, sixth.

00:20 He gains an average of 10 strokes on the field,

00:23 strokes gain total, just showing up to the place.

00:25 So for me, at the top of the board,

00:27 that's the guy that I'm featuring.

00:29 The other guy is the big game hunter,

00:31 and I know he's not big in stature,

00:32 but this guy with his approach game on,

00:35 how about that shot he hit at a number eight,

00:37 when he takes the head cover off from 240,

00:39 and hits that thing in there inside 10 feet.

00:42 Harmon, he's hitting wood on the par fives,

00:44 and he's still, I mean, API, six shots on approach.

00:48 At Sawgrass last week, nine shots on approach.

00:51 So those are my two at the top of the board.

00:53 When I go a little bit deeper,

00:55 you gotta run with my man.

00:57 There are no gimme putts in this game, Carver, right?

01:00 Doug Gim, the Gim Reaper, this guy,

01:03 he started the week at 60 to one.

01:05 I know that you didn't look at the board early,

01:08 but he started the week at over 60 to one.

01:10 He's down to 45, some people have him 40 to one.

01:12 Everybody's talking about this guy,

01:14 and they rightfully should,

01:16 because five straight top 16 finishes,

01:19 and what you're gonna say, like I always say,

01:22 there's no gimme putts with Doug Gim.

01:24 Four out of last five, he's gained with the putter.

01:26 Let's go on this guy, and then, hey, Sam Ryder,

01:31 come on, you know what I mean?

01:32 Florida, he's been good,

01:34 and ball striking, the putter as well.

01:36 Nobody's made more birdies at TPC Sawgrass than Sam Ryder,

01:39 and you can get 110 on him.

01:41 That's where my outright card is.

01:43 - Yeah, the Gim Reaper and Ryder's on the storm,

01:46 two of our favorites here on Coast to Coast,

01:48 on the Keith Stewart card.

01:50 The top, the placements, the 10s, the 20s, and the 40s.

01:53 I see you've got Bezidenhout on here.

01:55 You have Adam Hadwin, who's on my card as well.

01:58 Keith, he has played well

02:00 at the Copperhead course in the past.

02:02 - Well, Adam Hadwin, all right,

02:04 so what's your motivation this week?

02:06 You know, ours is winning,

02:07 but for a guy like Adam Hadwin that sits number 50

02:10 on the official World Golf rankings,

02:12 he wants to play Augusta, right?

02:14 The 2017 champion right there at the Valspar,

02:17 you know, that's why I love him at a placement

02:19 and even money down there.

02:20 I mean, I think he sneaks right in there.

02:22 Might be the best bet of the week

02:23 to just start to build out the card, diversify,

02:26 make a little cash,

02:27 and then throw more back in in a live setting.

02:29 You know, also I'm gonna take him head to head

02:31 because he knows that golf course,

02:33 and he's obviously very, very comfortable here.

02:36 The same thing with Sebez,

02:37 so Christian Bezidenhout, right?

02:39 He's number 59 in the official World Golf rankings

02:41 this time of year.

02:43 I mean, this is why you have me come on, Carver.

02:45 I'm looking at these different boards,

02:47 not just the betting board,

02:48 not just the strokes game board.

02:50 You gotta look at the official World Golf rankings.

02:52 These guys, these are the types of things

02:54 that make them spend an extra hour on the putting green

02:56 or do something like that.

02:58 Sebez at plus 225 at a top 20.

03:01 I love that.

03:02 And I threw in Nick Taylor there too

03:04 because his iron game and his putter, really, really good.

03:08 - He gave me a good ride last week for two and a half days

03:11 with that 220 to one, Nick Taylor.

03:13 Fortunately, it all unraveled a bit on Saturday for him.

03:17 All right, quickly, the head to heads.

03:18 Like you said, you have Sebez in here

03:20 and you have Hadwin in the head to heads as well.

03:23 - Well, you understand the motivation there.

03:25 Now, Sebez, just as good a ball striker lately

03:27 as Aaron Rye, old two gloves there, but Rye can't putt.

03:31 And we're going to a place that the average guy can't putt.

03:33 So I love Sebez to be able to distance himself

03:36 over 72 holes.

03:37 And then of course, Hadwin over Hassler.

03:40 Hassler's lately the approach game, it's been shaky.

03:43 The putter's been shaky.

03:44 He's been rollercoastering a little bit

03:46 and he didn't have a good week there at the players.

03:48 So with Hadwin, the motivation,

03:50 I know Hadwin didn't have a great week there either,

03:54 other than on social media when he chucked the club there

03:56 in the water on 18.

03:57 But overall, Adam Hadwin going back to a place

04:01 where he's won and knows the greens, I love it.
