Top BMW Championship Placements: Eric Cole T-10, Nick Dunlap T-20
Transcript
00:00The placements, the top 10s and the top 20s, including a couple of guys who had to do a
00:08lot of work last week to get here in Eric Cole and Nikki Dunlap.
00:13I love Eric Cole for a top 10 because just like last fall when he rattled off four top
00:17fives and seven starts, when he gets going, he's had three top 10s in his last six.
00:22When he gets going, this guy's number one in the field, birdie or better.
00:25We already established it's going to be a birdie fest this week, him with the putter
00:28on a golf course with a little bit of elevation.
00:30He's going to hit the driver a little bit longer.
00:32Great wedge player.
00:33I love his ability to score.
00:34So I took him at a top 10 top 20s.
00:37How about Bobby McIntyre?
00:39Perfect fit golf course for him again, great with the driver, super long and can roll
00:43the rock.
00:44And then the last guy, Nikki Dunlap.
00:46How about this kid?
00:47Right.
00:48Comes out of nowhere.
00:49But you know what?
00:50In birdie fests, he's only won two of them this year.
00:51He's won two birdie fests this year, Carver, right?
00:55He went what?
00:5629 under at the Amex.
00:57And then he went to the Barracuda a month ago.
00:59And then he played there.
01:00Right.
01:0125 under.
01:02Now, a lot of people aren't paying attention to this stuff.
01:04They're all like, oh, you know, Wyndham Clark with the elevation and everything.
01:06He's the only guy.
01:07He's not.
01:08The Barracuda out there in Truckee, California.
01:11Yeah.
01:12It's played at 5800 feet of elevation.
01:14Yeah.
01:15And Nick Dunlap won there a month ago.
01:17Top 20 on him.
01:19The head to heads.
01:21Sadly, we don't have Spieth.
01:23And hopefully, Jordan gets well, gets the surgery done, and gets good for next year.
01:27But we do not have Spieth to pick on this week on head to heads.
01:30I'm going to go Rye over Cameron Young.
01:32This is a putter play.
01:33I mean, Rye has just been playing absolutely fantastic.
01:36He's got a win.
01:37And over his last five starts, he's gaining seven strokes on the field.
01:40Cam Young is losing two and a half strokes per start with the putter.
01:44And then the second one, Billy Hortschild over Corey Connors.
01:47Billy, three straight top tens.
01:48He's the 2014 FedEx Cup champion.
01:51He's the type of guy that really elevates his game this time of year.
01:54Corey Connors, last couple, three of his last four, has been outside the top 25.
01:59Take Billy.
