00:00Keith, outright for you at the RBC. I think you already dropped the breadcrumbs on one guy who's

00:05going to be at the top of your board. Xander Shoffley, plus 1,400. He should definitely be

00:10the guy that's right behind Scotty Scheffler like he was all last year. Eighth at Augusta.

00:14The approach at Valspar was, you know, strokes gained, career, right? We're getting close to

00:19the PGA, and he has to defend one of his two major titles. And, you know, there's two guys

00:24on the range today that I saw hitting the golf ball extremely, extremely well. One was Xander,

00:29the other is Cantley. Cantley hasn't won in two years, three years, four years, whatever it is.

00:33Xander's winning. I'm going with Xander. The next guy, two gloves, plus 4,000, Aaron Rye, right?

00:39He's an approach machine. Remember back in 2023, we had the overnight first round leader contest.

00:45Hovland was up there, and then Rye passed him the next morning. He shot 63. For me, it's just a

00:50question of the putter. I saw him today working on the practice putting green with his PGA coach,

00:54John Graham. It looked like everything was in order, at least well enough to capitalize

00:58on so many birdie chances that Rye's going to have. Wyndham Clark. This one was a little bit

01:03out of left field for me, but I'm starting to see a trend here. At plus 5,500, last year,

01:08he missed the cut badly at the Masters. He finished his third year. He had a chance to win until he

01:13started playing ping pong in the trees right there on the right of the par five. But overall,

01:18you got to pay attention to what this guy does on positional golf courses, Mike. TPC River Highlands,

01:23he's good. TPC Sawgrass, he's good. Here, he's been good. And of course, he won on a positional

01:29golf course, Pebble Beach at the AT&T. He's good. Signature events, he's proven that he can sometimes

01:35be a big game hunter. He was good at the Masters. Not great, but he was good. I do like Wyndham

01:39Clark here, and I'm going with one more. Tom Hoagie sandwich. I know you love him. Plus 9,000.

01:44Everybody looks at last year's finish. That wasn't the full story. When they came back the next

01:48morning, it was freezing. He made a nine on his closing hole. Had he just shot even par on that

01:54hole, he would have finished top five. Hoagie's irons have been impeccable lately, right? Third

01:58at the players, fifth at Valero. He was great at Augusta National, 14th. The approach and the

02:03putting right now are spot on. Tom Hoagie. Yeah, I remember it all too well. I sure do for Hoagie.

02:10Had him for the T10 here last year, and I'm going back to the well with him this week too.
