00:00Let's get to the placements next, and look at what we have here.
00:06A Willie Zee sighting in Japan this week.
00:10Hey, I know we're limited on time.
00:13Top 10, I'm going hostler.
00:14I feel good about his history here and the way he's been playing.
00:17Willie Zee, last time we saw him, what, 12th at the FedEx, 13th at the BMW, and then all
00:23of a sudden, you know, he disappears, but he's back.
00:25Positional golf course that needs ball striking.
00:28You know what, Willie Zee?
00:29We'd love to come back there as well.
00:31The Gim Reaper, final group last week, pushed the postman to the bitter end.
00:35I like the Gim Reaper here.
00:36Again, another place where he doesn't have to putt necessarily well, that his ball striking
00:40will take over.
00:41I'm taking putting them again at top 20.
00:43Now, Carver, there's 14 guys from the Japanese golf tour in this event.
00:48I'm going with Ryosuke Kinoshita, right?
00:51Okay.
00:52Runner-up last week at the Japan Open.
00:55This guy, he played at Royal Troon.
00:57Since then, he's got, I mean, listen to this, he's got 7th, 17th, 6th, and 2nd there at
01:02the Japan Open.
01:03He's played good here before.
01:05He understands how to get it done over in the Zozo.
01:08Japanese player, plus 225 on a top 30.
01:11He's got to beat half the field.
01:12And then one more name, a name that you probably remember, Ryo Ishikawa.
01:16At some point, this guy in his career, he was 29th in the world.
01:19Remember, he was like the next Tiger Woods from Japan.
01:22He was a huge star, but you know what?
01:24He's still playing over there.
01:25He's playing well.
01:27Last year in the Japan Open, he finished 2nd.
01:29He came over there to the Zozo, and then he finished 4th a couple of weeks ago at the
01:33Japan Open.
01:35Finished 8th.
01:36What will he do this week?
01:37He's going to finish in the top 30 and give us 3.5 to 1.
01:40It certainly is.
01:42And like you said, there's a lot of things that those players from the Japan Tour can
01:46get by winning this event.
01:49Some huge things, such as Masters invites, two years, etc.
01:53Very, very important.
01:54Indeed.
01:56And look, we always go after someone, and I know you're happy to see Max Homa back out
02:00there.
02:01Oh, there's no doubt I'm happy to see Max Homa out there on a golf course where you
02:05really have to put the driver in play.
02:07So I'm rolling the dice.
02:08I'm taking Johnny Vegas over Max Homa at plus money.
02:12Vegas, it's a ball striker's paradise, and he's that type of guy.
02:15He will put the ball in play consistently.
02:18Max has got to play better than he has.
02:19He wasn't good in Montreal when I was there on property.
02:22And the second one, I'm taking JT over Minwoo Lee.
02:24Minwoo Lee's approach game was atrocious in Montreal, and it needs to be a lot better
02:30going into this event, being such a target-oriented golf course.
02:33So I'm taking JT at minus $120.
