00:00So, Keith, as we look at the odds board for who might be high up on the leaderboard throughout
00:04the week in the Motor City, maybe not a signature event, maybe not the most loaded field we have
00:09seen this year on the tour, but still some good stuff. Colin Morikawa is the favorite at 12 to
00:14one right now. Patrick Cantlay, not all that far behind at 16 to one. And there he is. Oh,
00:20captain, my captain, Keegan Bradley at an 18 to one price. We got Keith's keys. Now time for the
00:26early leans on the early line, who has a good week out at the Rocket Classic?
00:31Well, if we're going right to the early leans, I love Cam Young this week. I think a number of the
00:36favorites have their issues. Cantlay hasn't won in almost three years. And Colin Morikawa announced
00:41another caddy shift this week going into the Rocket Classic. So, I mean, there's some unsettling there.
00:47Can Ben Griffin win three times in two months? Probably not. And Keegan back to back. I love
00:52Cam Young, plus 2,500 this morning on the FanDuel betting board. In 2024 here, he finished sixth.
00:58In 2022, he finished second. He's got a fourth at the RBC Canadian and a fourth at the U.S. Open.
01:03And he's the number one ranked putter in the field. We know he can blast it off the tee,
01:07and he's from the Northeast. He'll be good on those greens. The second guy, Emiliano Grillo.
01:12You're going to love this, Donnie. Plus 8,000 on the board for FanDuel. That's where I got him.
01:17You got to love a little bit of a long shot out there at the Rocket Classic. You know,
01:22he's the number one approach player in the field. And we know, I've already said this,
01:26you're going to need to, this is a big proximity contest, guys. You got to knock it close with your
01:31wedges. 7,300 yards at par 72 is just not long enough for these guys. And you look at the places
01:36where Grillo has won, Silverado and also the Colonial. Those are places where you can distance yourself
01:43and separate from the field with your driver, your wedge, and your putter. He's going to do it
01:47again this week. I absolutely love that pick. Those are my early leans on the early line.
01:53Love to see it here. And by the way, let me ask you a question, because whenever we get a Scotty
01:57Scheffler-less tournament here, it's like, oh, it opens up so many different, you know, ways to win
02:01and guys that you can pick. Colin Morikow is the favorite at 12 to 1. His last win, Keith,
02:062023, the Zozo Classic was in Japan. Before that, it was 2021 here on the mainland with the Open
02:12Championship. Just getting back into the winner's circle. Can he do that this weekend as the
02:17favorite? Or is that maybe one of those angles that you're like, you know what? I got to see
02:20him win it before I put some money on the guy. You know, the Rocket Classic has told us some good
02:25stories over the years. Ricky Fowler came in here, and he won, and he hadn't won in years. But he was
02:30trending. I just don't see Morikawa trending. I alluded to it before. He's just changed his caddy
02:35again after two months after he'd been with J.J. Jakovic for such a long time. Change is never a good
02:40thing for these guys. They're extremely routine. I think the favorites this week are not that strong
02:45in an offer. I mean, Ben Griffin's probably the guy that has the best skill set and playing the
02:50best. And he's Ben Griffin, right? I mean, so at the end of the day, I really think you got to look
02:54further down the board. There's some opportunity. And I think a guy like Cam Young, and everyone's
02:58going to come at me and go, Keith, what about like the eight runner-ups and everything? Hey, guess what?
03:02He would have watched Fleetwood fail last week, and he would have learned from that.
03:06Tommy played not to lose instead of playing to win. He was not aggressive in the end.
03:10And Keegan was. The crowd got behind him, and he attacked. And I think Young will learn from that,
03:15and he's comfortable playing at this spot. I don't like Morikawa. I don't like many of the
03:20favorites this week. It's just not a good spot for them.
