00:00Well, I'll tell you, looking at the current odds on DraftKings Sportsbook for the co-leaders,

00:04Ryan Gerrard is at 30 to 1, Cam Davis at 35 to 1, which is considerably.

00:09What's the second next best after Scotty?

00:11Well, no.

00:12So those guys are much further down the board.

00:14I'm curious.

00:14Scotty's plus 330.

00:15Bryson DeChambeau is 9 to 1, plus 900.

00:18What's he at today?

00:19Then you have Tyrell Hatton.

00:21He just got to one under, according to our statistician behind the Jacks.

00:25We've got our off-camp stats, Wizard Jackson over here.

00:28Tyrell Hatton, who I believe finished at 3 under, two shots off the lead, is at 16 to 1 right now.

00:34John Rahm is at 18 to 1 right now.

00:36Colin Morikawa made double at 18 to finish at 1 under, four shots off the lead.

00:40He's at 20 to 1 right now, alongside Victor Hovland at 20 to 1.

00:45Of the group of guys, Smiley, that when we started this week, we said,

00:49look at all these favorites.

00:50It's going to come from this category.

00:52It's going to be a packed leaderboard.

00:54You know, let's take Scotty out of the equation, because he's obviously.

00:58He's obviously the odds-on favorite at this point, for a good reason, only being three

01:03shots off the lead.

01:03But who are some other names that are in and around it that you think could make a run

01:08at this thing, because they're not too far off that five under lead right now?

01:11Your guess is as good as mine, man.

01:14That is hashtag analysis from Smiley Kaufman.

01:17I mean, I thought the magic mind, that magic mind is supposed to inspire some great analysis

01:23or picks, man.

01:24I mean, Ryan Gerrard's stats are dirty.

01:26I mean, gaining three.

01:28Tar Heel, by the way.

01:28He gained three strokes approach to the green.

01:32That's a really strong statistic.

01:35The one that stuck out really is, I mean, Nico Echevarria gained 5.3 shots today into the greens.

01:42That's silly.

01:43I mean, Bryson drove it really well today, allegedly off the tee.

01:47He's fourth in that category.

01:48So you got to like Bryson.

01:49Yeah.

01:50I mean, Rasmus hits it far.

01:52Dude, it's a crap shoot.

01:54It's wild.

01:56I think Alex Noren's been hurt.

01:58He's another guy up there.

01:59JT Poston.

02:00A lot of these guys up at the top of the leaderboard that I see are going to need some really continue

02:05to putt well.

02:07How about Rye guys?

02:08T3 or four under?

02:09Let me just go quickly through these like top 10 and like what to expect out of these

02:14guys.

02:15Gerard's a dog.

02:16Stripes it.

02:17Hasn't had necessarily the breaks to go his way this year.

02:20Like I think his best finish is where he finished second.

02:23But a lot of just like middle of the pack finishes.

02:26Cam Davis is a striper of the golf ball.

02:30Hits it far enough.

02:31Played a President's Cup here.

02:33That's right.

02:33Yeah, a little bit of experience here.

02:34Was on that team.

02:36Good ballpark for him.

02:37Luke Donald.

02:38I mean, we stars are going to have to align.

02:41They're going to have to align.

02:42How about Luke being a four under?

02:44And I believe Keegan is a three under.

02:46There was another great stat on that that I got to pull that just the last time.

02:50I think the last time the two sitting Ryder Cup captains were in in and around the lead

02:54at a major championship was like 1937.

02:57Maybe it was.

02:58Yeah.

02:58That's that's a fun storyline.

02:59A little throwback that maybe throw those two out on Sunday and just let him duke it out

03:03for their own little trophy.

03:05All right.

03:05So Ryan Fox, Alan Smalley, Steven Yeager, Foxy coming off a win.

03:09So that's maybe just riding the momentum.

03:11But he also has played well this season.

03:13Alex Smalley stripes the absolute heck out of the golf ball.

03:16Last guy into the field after the withdrawal of Sahithi Gala.

03:20I was honestly surprised he wasn't in the field already.

03:23And then Steven Yeager, a guy that I wish we would have talked more about as a potential

03:27player to be on the European Ryder Cup team.

03:30But he smashes the ball off the tee.

03:32Doesn't care where it goes.

03:33Perfect place for that.

03:35It can get a hot putter and is not scared to play aggressively.

03:39And that's a good week for that.

03:41And then right guys.

03:42Right guys.

03:43Right guys.

03:43We're we need to get some support.

03:46Why do I like Aaron ride this week?

03:47It's because he has the cheat code for the mud ball off the tee.

03:54He can skim it out there.

03:56Mud ball.

03:56She can.

03:57And then it's like a like skipping a rocks.

04:00And then and then, you know, what do you think?

04:02There's a second driver.

04:03He carry in his bag off the deck.

04:05Is that is that it can do some wiping mud off?

04:08I mean, honestly, you can kind of compare this place a little bit to Vedanta.

04:13Seriously, it's it's similar distances you're going to have into the green.

04:17Now, the playing surface is obviously different and much more challenging.

04:21I would say shots.

04:23Trouble lurking more here.

04:25But hey.
