00:00So here it is, the staggering number on BetMGM, the shortest
00:07favorite to win a major I've ever seen, or at least since
00:10Tiger was. I mean, I can't ever remember anyone under three and
00:14a half. And they did it, BetMGM, plus 333. It's like they're
00:19insulting us here. They're like, yeah, go ahead, take that if you
00:21want. Everybody else with much better odds. Xander, Rory
00:26McIlroy, Morikawa, Bryson, after his great showing at
00:29the PGA, Oberg at 20 to 1. But Brady, you're right back on
00:34Scheffler here, right? Like, that's it. You're like, yeah,
00:37I'll take the temptation.
00:39I am. I just think we're watching something generational
00:43here. Now, you know, plus 350, plus 333, 3 to 1. I've seen
00:49stores at plus 275. And I believe by the time they tee
00:53off on Thursday, you know, 3 to 1 or less is probably going to
00:57be the consensus number. Now, you go back to that text thread
01:02between you and I and you know that I have Scotty at plus 450
01:06and also at 4 to 1, which is definitely a fair price. The
01:10value is lost when you start to get to three and a half and
01:14less. But you know, what does value mean if a guy doesn't win
01:18or if you have a ticket on the guy who does win, you know, and
01:22I think that's where we are with Scotty. He's perfect for this
01:25golf course. And I have felt that for a while. I think when
01:28you break down Pinehurst number two, it's an incredible golf
01:32course, one of the most iconic venues in America, maybe the
01:36most popular golf resort in America. Pinehurst number two is
01:40just one of nine 18 hole courses here at Pinehurst. Wide
01:45fairways, very little to no rough. And what you'll see in
01:49the graphics there, primarily it is sandy waste areas with wire
01:54grass and native grass bordering these fairways. I don't think
01:59it's going to be extremely difficult to find the fairways.
02:02But finding the right spot will be crucial. Because if you don't
02:05find the right spot, you can end up with uneven lies and very
02:10weird angles into these greens, which are have a dome like
02:14surface, they call them turtle backs like the shell of a
02:17turtle. And they will repel a lot of golf shots into these
02:21waste areas, these shaved off, I shouldn't say waste areas,
02:24runoff areas, collection areas, where you have to be incredibly
02:29creative with the short game. In 2014, we saw Martin Keimer use
02:33the putter from a lot of these areas. off the green, you have
02:37to be a great scrambler greens and regulation and total
02:41driving long and straight. And that is 100% Scotty Scheffler. I
02:46think he's going to get it done again, Craig, that'll be six
02:48wins and nine starts is my prediction.
