00:00When you look at Zander and Scotty, both the three under, how dangerous do they feel?

00:10Very dangerous.

00:11I think Zander, the work that he's done, so Zander has always been one of the steadiest,

00:15most consistent players on tour since he kind of came on tour and is a guy that hits the

00:19ball very straight, is a phenomenal iron player, phenomenal with the long irons and is an incredibly

00:25consistent putter.

00:26So all those things, obviously, very good things.

00:29What he did in the offseason to kind of take him to this next level and win that PGA Championship

00:33and now find himself in more of these elite-tier conversations was add a ton of speed and distance

00:38that came with that.

00:39He did a bunch of speed training, hitting the ball a lot further.

00:43That helps, right?

00:44So I think Zander at three under on a day that, again, if we're saying, if we're thinking

00:49the scoring conditions are going to be better and that we're going to see a lot of guys

00:53going deep, you can refer right back to the PGA Championship where the story of that entire

00:57week was taking it deep and scoring, that on a moving day, I like Zander to rocket up

01:01that leaderboard, barring the weather changing or something that we can't see happening for

01:06Zander.

01:07And the same for Scottie.

01:08I mean, Scottie's always going to be there, one under through three holes, a guy that

01:12is very suited to this golf course, a guy that can play well in wind, and then a guy

01:17without wind who can take it deep.

01:19So I think both those guys, look, I love Shane where he is.

01:21He's suited for this test, but those guys are lurking.
