00:00Let's get to, of course, our cards and we will start with the outrights.
00:07Let's stay hot.
00:08And I keep going back to this guy, Cam, because honestly, I know it's coming.
00:14I feel like we've had like a four-month, three or four-month stretch of incredible play from
00:19Colin Morikawa, and it just hasn't paid off yet for us.
00:24But I know it's going to, 18-1 for Morikawa.
00:27He's a former Open Championship winner.
00:29He's been excellent in the major so far this year with top 10 finishes.
00:34That is where I'm going to start my card, and we'll see if he can break through.
00:37Tommy Fleetwood, the boyhood dream, winning the Open Championship.
00:40Hopefully it can finally happen for him this week, 25-1 for him.
00:44I feel like Jon Rahm, Cam, is a little...
00:48Wow.
00:49I feel like Rahm's a little embarrassed of how he's played in the majors.
00:52Now, he didn't play in all three of them.
00:54He had the toe problem last month at the U.S. Open.
00:57And now I'm getting a guy who last year was like 8-1 to win the Open Championship, and
01:02this year I'm getting him at 25-1 to win.
01:05I watched him on Sunday, Cam, at Live.
01:07He looks...
01:08He's playing good.
01:09That's good.
01:10Rahm at 25 for me for a big bounce back.
01:12Tyrell Hatton is playing great golf on Live, 28-1 for him.
01:16He has a top five here.
01:18Here at this place in 2016, he finished fifth at Royal Troon.
01:21Shane Lowry, the Irish Bear, that is an auto play for me at every Open Championship.
01:26I don't care where they're playing.
01:28And Tom Kim, I'm going to put him the same as Morikawa.
01:31Not as long, Cam, but it's more like a month and a half, two months of Tom Kim knocking
01:36on the door, and he's excellent on Lynx courses and at the Open Championship, 60-1 for him.
01:42Love your picks, Carver.
01:43And one thing about Morikawa is he was right in the mix last week.
01:46We watched the tournament, right, and what happened?
01:49A couple missed clubs.
01:50The wind came up a couple times.
01:52Cam, every week.
01:53Every week.
01:55The guy should be winning.
01:56He's missing putts.
01:57Him and Rory are the guys.
01:59They're the guys.
02:00It's like, when are you going to get it done?
02:01I'm with you.
02:02Give me Morikawa.
02:03Actually, Carver, I just found a bet boost on him at 20-1, so I'm going to hit that one
02:08twice.
02:09Tyrell Hatton, this guy's kicking ass on Live.
02:12He right now, 28-1 looks good.
02:14I can't believe I'm doing this.
02:15Tony Fee now, 38-1.
02:17I'm going to tell you, Carver, this is the type of course, if you can just avoid the
02:21pot bunkers and play smart golf.
02:22Tom Kim, you got a better number.
02:2450-1.
02:25Wyndham Clark, like the way he closed in Scotland.
02:28Low round, 66-1, and, oh my God, the little lefty that could, Brian Harmon.
02:33You know what?
02:34Take another waggle like Patrick Cantlay, but I don't care.
02:36It's 70-1.
02:37Waggle, waggle, waggle, all the way to the bank.
02:39I know, Cam, and listen, Harmon won last year, and he won in dominating fashion.
02:45Yes, he did.
02:46I think that that number's a little disrespectful, considering that he's the defending champion.
02:50That's how he won, and as far as Clark goes, a lot's been made about he won the U.S. Open
02:55last year, and he's been awful in every other major he's ever played in in his life.
03:00I think you're right.
03:01I think we saw a little something from him last week in the way that he closed on Sunday.
03:06I think maybe we got ourselves a little something.
03:07I'm going to have him for some fives and tens, Cam, and see if we can get there.
