00:00So the big news this week is Scotty Scheffler not playing in the Houston Open,
00:04which is probably a bigger question when you come back with me next week
00:07or the week after for if that factors into the Masters.
00:10Because we can just put this one aside for now
00:14and just wonder if him not getting the full warm-up
00:17and changing diapers in the middle of the night is going to change his approach.
00:20But let me tell you, Brady, that's a real thing going into the Masters.
00:23That is a real thing. We'll get to that when we get there.
00:26But we don't have that issue this week because Scotty's out.
00:28And so the favorite, by the way, is Min Woo Lee.
00:33This is the first time I can ever remember Min Woo Lee being a favorite of any tournament
00:37that you and I have ever discussed before.
00:39I don't recall him being a favorite.
00:40So why is he 13-1?
00:43I know it's a lighter field, and I get that too.
00:46But why is he the favorite in this?
00:48Yeah, you know, it's a good question.
00:51He's the defending champion.
00:52It's his only PGA Tour win.
00:55I really like him for this golf course.
00:57A lot of people were on him last year, and I remember kicking myself.
01:01Why didn't I pick him?
01:02You know, he makes perfect sense for this golf course.
01:04And what's interesting about this course, it's set up.
01:08It's always been, like you said, the appetizer for the Masters.
01:11It's very similar to Augusta National in terms of wide fairways, very little rough,
01:18big, massive, undulated greens.
01:22You know, the style of play, suiting a bomber that has an incredible short game is what we
01:28need to see success at Augusta National, and it's similar here at Memorial Park.
01:34I actually have a future on Min Woo Lee at 80-1 to win the Masters.
01:38So, you know, it makes sense that he is one of the guys at the top of the board here.
01:43Goddard up, as you know, has been off to a fantastic start.
01:47Brooks Koepka is a really interesting story.
01:50He's starting to play very, very well.
01:52His irons have been outstanding.
01:54The putter is a little bit cold.
01:56He is number one in ticket count at BetMGM this week to win the Texas Children's Houston Open.
02:02And I believe he is their second biggest, yes, he is their second biggest liability.
02:08Nikolai Hoigard is one of my selections.
02:11He's the biggest liability at BetMGM.
02:14I don't like that.
02:15But he fits that same mold, Craig, big hitter with a great short game.
02:19That's the formula this week.
