00:00Let's start things off, Keith, as always, with the outrights for this week.
00:07And I, as I always like to do, if we're reading the same mail on somebody, I like to go there
00:13and you have coined this guy, Bermuda Ben Griffin.
00:17And how could you not play a guy named Bermuda Ben Griffin when they're playing in Bermuda?
00:22Let's go, Keith.
00:23Well, and it's not just for the island, although it kind of fits.
00:26I mean, that guy, I could see him wearing pink.
00:28But the point is, is that he is great on Bermuda greens and that's what we're dealing
00:32with out there.
00:33Folks.
00:34Yes, I know it sounds obvious, but that's the case.
00:36It's Bermuda grass wall to wall, and that's a grainy style surface to put on.
00:40So a guy like Ben Griffin, who is second in the field and putting, I mean, he is absolutely
00:46at an advantage.
00:47And when you start talking about the wind is going to get wild.
00:50There's two things that I'm favoring this week.
00:52You've got to be able to put Bermuda greens and you've got to be a good approach player.
00:56He's top 15 on approach.
00:58I mean, Ben Griffin, he was third here in 2022.
01:01He slept on the lead on Saturday night, the 54 hole lead.
01:04He's very comfortable here.
01:06And by all means, at plus 2000, I know there's a couple of guys that are ahead of his favorites,
01:12but in my mind, he is the favorite to win this event.
01:15Who else do you have for the outrights for us out here in Bermuda?
01:20All right.
01:21How about this?
01:22How about Daniel Bermuda Burger, right?
01:24I mean, I'm going to wear this thing out today because he's won a couple of times in
01:27Memphis.
01:28That's all Bermuda grass.
01:29He's great in Florida.
01:30You know, Burger, he's got to be there.
01:33He is 124 on the FedEx Cup points list.
01:35He needs to get inside that top 125 and we've got two weeks to go.
01:39Now, Burger, he's played well all fall and he's got really good trajectory control.
01:44He's a great wedge player and he puts the ball and play off the tee with that low fade.
01:48I love Burger in this field at plus 3500.
01:51You know, there's not a lot of guys that have played on Ryder Cups and President's
01:54Cup teams in this field.
01:55So I think with the way that Burger has been trending since he came back from the injury
01:59almost a year ago now, I really like his form and I really like him in the elements.
02:03Another guy, Andrew Putnam, second in the field and approach.
02:07He's also plus 3500.
02:09He can roll the rock as well.
02:10He's great on positional golf courses.
02:12He's had a good fall.
02:13I mean, he's got four top 30s in his last six starts.
02:17He's definitely a strong player there.
02:18He's got good history at Port Royal.
02:20I like him as well.
02:21And then one more on Monday, Wes Bryan, yes, the YouTube golfer.
02:25But guess what?
02:26This guy's won a PGA Tour event and he won it at Harbortown where it gets windy.
02:30But guess, you know, he was sixth last week at the Worldwide Technology Championship.
02:35He's been good all fall since he played in that Creator Classic.
02:39He is a wet.
02:40He's a wizard with the wedge carver.
02:42OK, and this week you're going to miss some greens.
02:44You're going to play in the wind.
02:45He's born in South South Carolina.
02:47He knows Bermuda grass.
02:48He started the week at 70.
02:51He's down in the 50s.
02:53We're not the only ones that are on him.
02:54I think he has a chance to pull off something special over there.
02:57He's my long shot of the week.
02:59I like it.
03:00Listen, 55 to one for him.
03:02Let's get involved in that.
03:03And anybody who's good in the wind, if the winds are blowing, you got to get there.
03:07We go to the placements next.
03:09And listen, we've been riding Lucas Glover here in terms of placements.
03:14He's had himself a good fall, Keith.
03:16And he looks to continue that out here in Bermuda.
03:19And here's another guy that's got a little outside motivation.
03:22He's 62nd on the points list.
03:24You get between 51 and 60 and you get in those early signature events.
03:27And that's where Lucas wants to be.
03:29He's got a 13th, a third, a third and a 24th last week.
03:33He's a ball striker.
03:34He's going to be able to handle the wind and get the ball on the greens.
03:37If the putter works, he's in the top 10 top 20.
03:40Carson Young hits a ton of fairways.
03:42He was second last week.
03:43I love his form.
03:44And the other guy, Jacob Bridgman, great approach player and a great putter.
03:48First in the field at Bermuda Grass putting, both of those guys for a top 20.
03:51And then I'm going to go blast from the past, all right?
03:54Brant Snedeker, top 40 at plus 188.
03:58I mean, since the fall started, he was 12th at the Checkmasters, yeah, over the DP World
04:03Tour.
04:0426th at the Procore, 16th at the Sanderson.
04:07And he's the type of guy who can play well in the wind with that compact swing.
04:10And he's a great little pop putter.
04:12I love him on Bermuda Greens.
