00:00There's a few things I'll say.
00:01Number one, Rory is great at recovery, all right?
00:03In fact, the weather this week,
00:05the forecast is really in his favor.
00:06The place is gonna play soft.
00:08It's been raining all week.
00:09The rain's gonna stop.
00:10The wind is gonna stop.
00:11It's gonna play soft and short.
00:13Rory's golf course, his game fits this golf course.
00:16It's really Rory by 10,
00:17but I'm not taking him at seven to one.
00:19I'm not taking him as the favorite.
00:20I just can't do it.
00:21I'm gonna go with the kid instead at the top of the board.
00:24I'm taking Ludwig Ober at plus 1600.
00:27And if it's a driver putter fest,
00:29if there's one guy that can keep up talent-wise with Rory,
00:32I believe it is Ludwig.
00:33He let us down at the Travelers, but you know what?
00:35It was just a bad week with the putter.
00:37He's got six top 10s.
00:38I mean, he won in his third start on the DP World Tour.
00:41Past him, I'm gonna go Tom Kim at plus 2800.
00:44He's got back-to-back top six finishes here
00:47at the Scottish Open there at the Renaissance Club.
00:50He's been playing great.
00:51He was second at the Travels, fourth at the Canadian.
00:54We all weren't on him at the Rocket.
00:56Nine weeks in a row was too many.
00:58He's rested, he's back, he's ready.
01:00He's great on link-style golf courses.
01:03Little further down, this is the time to play Aaron Rye.
01:07This is the time.
01:08Not when he's 20-1, not when he's 16-1,
01:11but when he's 50-1.
01:12He was 55 on Monday.
01:13I wrote about it.
01:14He's down in the 40s now.
01:15Everybody is on this guy.
01:17He's got four straight top 20s.
01:19He's gaining over eight strokes against the field
01:22in his last five starts, Carver.
01:24And if anything else, if the weather gets bad,
01:26the guy already plays with two gloves
01:28and he's won there in 2020 at the Scottish Open.
01:31My last guy, Thomas Dietry.
01:33And here's the connection.
01:35Tom Doak designed golf course there, the Renaissance Club.
01:38Sixth year in a row for the Scottish Open.
01:41He's at 60-1.
01:42Thomas Dietry, there's no doubt he can bomb it off the tee.
01:45He's a great putter.
01:46And the other Doak course
01:48that they've already played this year in March,
01:49I know it's in America, but the greens are very similar.
01:52And that's Memorial Park Golf Club in Houston.
01:56And Dietry was runner up there.
01:58This is a good fit for him.
01:59Fourth at the PGA, 14th at the US Open.
02:02He plays elite fields very, very well.
02:04I love it, Keith.
02:05I'm with you on Tom Kim.
02:06He's on my card.
02:07He's gonna break through one of these weeks
02:09and finally get us a winner.
02:10And Dietry's a great pick.
02:11I am gonna add him.
