00:00so we drew the draft order for the u.s open gaff pool prior to the show there was slight
00:05controversy uh while it was ongoing with two names left in the hat where i thought i had
00:12missed one of the names i guess because jp's on vacation i panicked because i thought that there
00:17there were three people left and only two slips of paper valdez was freaking out because he was
00:21screaming he knew he had a top one or two pick and then he was like oh we're gonna have
00:26to redraft
00:27drab was fist pumping because he thought valdez is gonna get boned but then cooler heads prevailed
00:33we realized that all of the names all was good were properly in the hopper and we were good to
00:39go
00:39so here's your draft order we're gonna go from seven all the way to one thirsty anna picks number
00:45seven finally she has some adversity in her life she's picking seventh in a seven seven person draft
00:51uh mike bar will be picking sixth bitch bucks at five draft t-shirt picking fourth eric bickle at
00:58three pretty good this is matt valdez picking number two overall an old golfer flakes picking number
01:06one valdez what time do the boys steal one of the first tea time out already already oh yeah i
01:13think
01:13you can barely you can barely see where they're hitting from the from the fog it's oh my god they
01:19still let him out wow all right so everybody knows the rules you pick one player from the united
01:24states you pick one overseas player i'm not even sure of the scoring system of how this works do we
01:30have to get the winner we have to have the winner or else it rolls over for the british oh
01:35then we
01:35could triple so british no i think it's just an extra ten dollars extra ten so it'd be 30 not
01:4040 got it
01:40got it so this is worth 20 we're 20 bucks juicy pot this would be good what do we have
01:47six guys
01:50seven well i don't know what to do with jp my guess is he's just he's void out of this
01:56that's fine you just sit this one out it's all good yeah all good he he didn't show any interest
02:00if he showed interest he could have said hey i'll make sure you pick for me but he does owe
02:04he does
02:04owe ten dollars still owes ten dollars oh yeah he's got to throw that in the kitty so it's 150
02:10in
02:10the pot yeah all right i like it i'm not gonna waste much time i have the number one overall
02:14pick
02:15i'm gonna take the guy with the shortest odds i mean this is an easy pick at plus 550 scotty
02:21scheffler off the board i don't think it's good to doubt him but he just has been a tick off
02:26this
02:27year that's okay but he's always in the hunt as long as he doesn't shoot himself out in the first
02:32round the numbers by the way could be crazy but you know they're projecting you know like the
02:37average score is going to be way up there well there's the winds 25 mile per hour winds every
02:43day at the you know maximum that's a lot 25 is pretty heavy winds yeah and then if you get
02:48it
02:48into the actually the thick stuff and you can't i mean it could be a poop show yeah you see
02:54the way
02:54the guys are chipping and rolling back down to their feet they were showing highlights of um old u.s
02:59opens at shinnecock and when pain stewart i can't remember what year it was late 90s pain stewart
03:03had a four foot putt and he missed it and it rolled about 30 feet away from the from the
03:09cup that is
03:09just so and he just he just looked at it across his arms just looked at it yeah you remember
03:14that no
03:15remember when phil missed that one putt and he went down and he's and he that'll never forget
03:19yeah yeah yeah that'll never forget all right so i don't think the green is gonna be that bad i've
03:24got scotty on my squad uh matt valdez now on the clock i got the guy that i was targeting
03:29all along
03:30i think rory's gonna win this u.s open i think um it's a misnomer that he struggles in the
03:36win
03:36when actually he gains strokes compared to the field with wins at over 19 miles per hour you look
03:42at his last 100 rounds i think he got a great draw with with morning late not only morning late
03:47but he starts off on number 10 so number 10 and number 11 are historically the hardest holes at
03:52so he's gonna play them at the easiest conditions possible this morning so i think it's all kind of
03:58setting up for rory to have a good first round compared to the field and then he can coast home
04:03maybe wire to wire winner all right so rory off the board first international player if i had gotten
04:09the first pick i might have selected rory i probably would i might have selected rory it's rare that i
04:15wouldn't take the chalk at the top hey you guys are trying to get in my head over here i'm
04:19not
04:19trying to get your head i'm just making it known i think i would have taken rory one
04:23all right well you're picking third so chef well this is when i think it starts to get a little
04:28dice here
04:32uh i think i'm gonna take the guy who i still think is one of the most talented players in
04:37the world
04:38finished second in the uh pga championship i'm gonna take john rom
04:43all right rami bear off the board at the third overall pick rom rom has one of the worst draws
04:49i
04:49think he goes off at two o'clock today right in the teeth of the wind grab to see his
04:54metal see if
04:55he can pull it all right drab t-shirt you are on the clock with the fourth overall pick
05:01i'll buy into the early late theory uh so i'm looking at that so i'll take a guy with the
05:06early
05:06tea time today i like to go international also early so i'll take tommy fleetwood um 18 to 1 to
05:15win tommy's been around the lead a lot this year shot a final round 63 at shinnecock in 2018 in
05:21similar conditions when they lost the course all right there's been a run on international players
05:26they've gone two through four in this first of two rounds bitch bucks now on the clock with the
05:33all right i'm gonna take the guy who has never missed a cut at the u.s open in fact
05:38he's never
05:38finished worse than 14th he's got six top tens
05:45his name is xander shawfly all right another american there we go with the fifth pick now
05:53golfer mike is on the clock at six overall now i definitely would give a deep analysis about
06:00shinnecock because i definitely know a lot about the course and the u.s open history but for the
06:05sake of time i'll just save everyone a couple minutes and i'll take my favorite golfer i will
06:10never pass on this guy because he is due and it might be this weekend ludwig oh yeah he's a
06:15big
06:15ludwig guy it's not a bad pick he's always in the mix at least early he just can't string together
06:22four days he'll play well for two or three all right oberg off the board so far four overseas
06:28players two americans have been selected now we go for back-to-back picks we head out to annapolis
06:35okay thirsty anna on the clock has she tweeted a picture of her in a bikini on a boat yet

07:15from
07:15the donks on twitter about my love of shane but i think he's a good pick for this one all

07:28was
07:28in jupiter a couple ago and got to meet chris gotter up at utiki um and i feel really good

07:42cindelars i was with my golfing family uh-huh um visiting them in jupiter he was at the restaurant
07:48we were at oh it wasn't the woods was it no you said what was it called no we were
07:53at utiki
07:54which is like a jupiter all right utiki that must have gone when the night you went to the breakers
08:01you should have gone to utiki yeah although we had a great time at the breakers
08:06memories forever you guys are the poorest guys in the breakers oh it wasn't even close
08:11and jason peed all over the parking lot security everywhere don't know how he didn't get arrested
08:16had to go man his jeans are on his ankles all right anna so you went back to back you
08:20have
08:20shane lowry the shane dog true story tweet out that picture again because he's wearing like jingo jeans

08:29he have like the world's
08:29baggish jeans yeah yeah yeah back when like the the the tight jeans were becoming popular he looked
08:36like he was uh crisscrossed yeah i do remember that pg county out of you know what are you gonna
08:42do yeah you can't you don't want to be so jason taught me a trick and i remember we did
08:46a bar
08:46crawl at georgetown and he walked backwards he said you could so if you have to pee while you're in
08:51a
08:51bar crawl you just walk backwards yeah so it looks like you're walking you're not actually so nobody
08:57knows you're peeing and you're walking backwards that's very small steps very small very next level
09:01all right anna you're in let's go to mike maher with his american golfer so normally i would take
09:08bryson to shambo here but he burned me big time at the master so i'm gonna go to a guy
09:11who's been
09:12playing really good can jam as of late give me cameron young all right good pick i like it
09:18all right now we go to bish bucks he took xander in the first round needs an overseas player
09:25all right i'm gonna take a guy who finished third last year at oakmont now the year before they
09:31missed the cut he's missed the cut a couple times had to withdraw in 2021 at torrey pines because
09:37of an injury but played really well last year oakmont which was a baller course uh i believe the
09:43winner was at one under he finished two over his name is victor hovland all right hovland off the
09:49board jason's team is complete now we got a draft t-shirt he needs an american gaffer um
09:56i love a troublemaker um and this guy always does well when i pick him i'll take patrick reed
10:01okay all right pat reed off the board now we go to eb for his american man this is this
10:07is
10:07this all right i know we got up against a break i need an american yep i'm definitely not picking
10:15bryson uh no i don't really want to pick him i don't really like him but this is you know
10:22what
10:22i'm i'm probably throwing this but he's been hot lately yep i know you're taking no you don't
10:28wyndham clark i was gonna say that i'm gonna take wyndham clark all right when i do that that's
10:32what i was gonna guess now to matt because he has been hot valdez of rory with his first pick
10:37now
10:37this is american uh i don't want to take him because he goes off late today uh scramble scramble mode
10:47he read his scramble like this on monday for the purple heart open all right i'm gonna take him just
10:53because you don't like i don't want i don't like this guy because he's just going off at 134 today
10:59that's the only reason it's against your theory it's against my theory so i'm gonna take sam burns at
11:03at as my american he's a beast all right so burns is off the board i'm going to close out
11:09my team with
11:09the highest remaining international player in the odds that is maddie fitzpatrick oh that's a good pick
11:14so i have fitzpatrick as my so who do you have player chef and i've got sheffler and it's pretty
11:21good i couldn't believe i couldn't believe he fell all the way down there great he's got two of the
11:25top five on that's a great team need it burns and rory for valdez eb's got clark and rom uh
11:32drive t-shirt
11:32reed and fleetwood bish bucks xander hovland mar has young and oberg and anna's got godrup and
