00:00All right, Brady, who do you like?
00:04What's the strategy here?
00:05Do we want favorites?
00:07There's the chalk.
00:08I mean, Leisure 12 is plus 290, and then you get the Crushers at 3-1, Ripper the other
00:12by at 430, and then 750, 8, 9, 14, 20.
00:17I mean, if you go a little further, Brady, you know, I know everybody loves that four
00:21aces team, of course, because that's got Dustin Johnson on and Patrick Reed.
00:26They've won a lot.
00:27They're like 30-1 in that area.
00:29Where do you want to go?
00:30Well, I went right to the top, and like I say, I dumbed it down a little bit this week
00:35because I think this is much more difficult to handicap.
00:38Anytime there's a team element, it's more difficult than handicapping one individual
00:44golfer, but I went to the top because Jon Rahm's been good to us two out of the last
00:48three weeks, Mike.
00:49You know that.
00:50He won in England, and then he won again last week.
00:53I think he is clearly the best player on this tour, so I want to bet on Rahm again.
00:59With his team, and by the way, he's got another really good player on his team in Terrell
01:04Hatton who just finished fourth last week in Chicago.
01:08Their team, the number one seed, I'm going to ride with them.
01:11They have two hot hands, also very much experienced Ryder Cup match play players in Terrell Hatton
01:19and Jon Rahm, and then I went down a little bit deeper, and Sergio caught my eye because
01:24Sergio's really been playing well.
01:26He finished runner-up to Rahm last week in Chicago, and you know it was just a few weeks
01:31ago that he won in Spain.
01:33You and I were both on him there at Valderrama, so Sergio's had a great season.
01:38He's had a win.
01:39He's had a couple of losses in playoffs.
01:41You could argue Sergio's season has been as good as anybody's on the live circuit.
01:46Then you've also got Abraham Anser and David Puig on his team who both, Anser and Puig,
01:53have top 20 finishes in their last three events.
01:56So they come in hot, and we know Sergio has been one of the greatest Ryder Cup players
02:01in the history of that competition.
02:03So as far as match play, Sergio, Rahm, Hatton, I love those European guys when we're talking
02:09match play.
02:10So I got Sergio's team, Fireballs Golf Club, at 12 to 1, and I got Rahm, the favorite,
02:16at 3 to 1, his team there.
02:18So I just went with two shots that I think make sense.
02:21We'll see if it works.
02:23Here's what I'm going to do, Brady.
02:24I'm going with you on Rahm's team with Hatton.
02:28That's my chalk side of things.
02:29I'm going to back them if I'm going to back chalk.
02:31For the deep shot, I'm going to take the South Africans, the Stinger, at 14 to 1.
02:36You talk about guys who have played together a lot, Louis, Dean, Grace, Schwartzel, guys
02:42that know each other very well.
02:44They get through Friday.
02:46Maybe they can get themselves rolling a little bit.
02:48I like the Aussies together, too.
02:50I know they have a bye, but I'm not too troubled for me.
02:51A lot of camaraderie there.
02:52Camaraderie is a big deal when you're playing as a team.
02:55I like it.
02:56So, look, we got a team golf action this week, Brady.
03:00Let's do it, man.
03:01Let's go and get it done.
03:02Let's finish living a fitting way.
