00:00Well, coast to coast here on a Wednesday.
00:02And yes, for the first time in 2025,
00:06the long haul begins.
00:08A golf Wednesday on C2C.
00:11And just like we did it all last year,
00:13we're back, everyone's in the mix.
00:15Myself, the prime minister, Cam Stewart,
00:19last hour, Keith Stewart from Read the Line.
00:21We'll give you the preview, the pics,
00:22everything every week for the PGA.
00:25Cam, it is great to see you back for a new year.
00:28I didn't, we didn't do last week
00:30because obviously holidays, things like that.
00:32I did have Hoagie for the first round and then Morikawa.
00:35It's, you know, Cam, it's not,
00:37it's not fun when the guy that you're back in
00:39shoots 32 under and he loses by three.
00:41That's never a fun.
00:44Oh, Tyra, welcome, welcome to my world too.
00:46Like I only sprinkled on Hoagie
00:48because I got so much other stuff going on
00:49with the NFL and hockey and everything else, right?
00:52So I usually put 20, I put five, I'm happy for the win.
00:54But I'm on him too and him's making a crazy run
00:57and he finishes right there.
00:59Like that was a great final round by Sunjai,
01:00but that's the problem.
01:01I had, I had the leader board, except Hideki.
01:04God, Hideki Matsuyama, you know who he is?
01:06When he has the lead, that guy wins.
01:08He does, he's a flatliner.
01:11No emotion.
01:12I'll tell you what else he does, Cam.
01:13You know what else he does?
01:15When you don't back him, he wins every time
01:19or he's in the top five.
01:20When you do back him, he leaves after the,
01:23in the middle of the second round because his back hurts.
01:25That's what happens when you do back the guy.
01:27He quits in the second round because his back flares up
01:31or he's got an injury in his elbow.
01:32But when you don't play him
01:34and you're on everyone else around him,
01:36he wins the tournament, which he's,
01:38and listen, Hideki's great.
01:39And here he is again this week,
01:41the favorite, Cam, at the top of the board.
01:43So we hop, skip and a jump to Honolulu,
01:47the first full field event of the year, the Sony Open.
01:51Matsuyama's your favorite to chalk at nine to one.
01:54We've got Connors, Tom Kim, Russell Henley,
01:56Keegan Bradley, Maverick McNeely,
01:58Bobby Mack involved this weekend.
02:01Ben Anu lost in a playoff here last year.
02:03So did Keegan, by the way.
02:05Siwoo Kim, Saif Tagal, et cetera.
02:07So pretty good field, Cam,
02:09for the Sony that we are going to have this week.
02:12And why are we going to waste any time, Cam?
02:16Let's do it.
02:17Our first picks for this year on a golf Wednesday.
02:20Here is where I'm going.
02:21I'm gonna start with Tom Kim at 20 to one.
02:24This guy played pretty good at the end of last year.
02:27We know that we had some close calls,
02:28ended up did finishing outside that 50
02:31for the FedEx Cup points.
02:32But I'm gonna go with Kim to get a strong start
02:34here at 20 to one.
02:35Keegan Bradley lost in a playoff last year,
02:37didn't play bad last week at the TOC.
02:39So 28 to one for him.
02:41Ben Anu, same thing.
02:42Lost in a playoff here a year ago,
02:44played excellent golf and played last week.
02:46I think that that's something that we have to look at.
02:48Usually the history of the last few years, Cam,
02:50shows you that guys who played last week
02:52are going to be in the mix here.
02:55You know that on Bermuda grass and on small island reeds,
02:57we have to have Bermuda Ben Griffin in the house as well.
03:0150 to one for Bermuda Ben.
03:04And hey, I'm gonna ride the wave here a little bit
03:06because this guy's a very streaky player.
03:08And when he's hot, you gotta stay with him.
03:10Hoagie finished in the top 10 last week.
03:12I'm not going after him.
03:13He's not gonna get first round leader two weeks in a row.
03:16But 70 to one to win the entire thing.
03:18I'll take a shot with Hoagie.
03:20Who knows?
03:21He could be first round leader two weeks in a row,
03:22but I'll tell you this.
03:24Hoagie Sandwich, this guy's on fire and carver.
03:26Short courses, ball striking.
03:27That's what it's all about.
03:28This baby's got like, if the winds aren't up 7,000 yards,
03:32they're gonna carve this place up.
03:33I love your picks, by the way.
03:34I was between Tom Kim and McNeely with me.
03:37I went with McNeely, but I love Tom Kim as well.
03:39Austin Eckroat, if he hits it straight,
03:40he will murder this course with his length.
03:4240 to one.
03:43Kurt Kitayama, this guy speaks to me.
03:45I know we could get like a 50 or a 60.
03:47There's a reason why he's a little bit lower.
03:49I love him.
03:50Sepp Stracke, most underrated guy on tour.
03:52All he does is cash paychecks.
03:54Hoagie Sandwich, you got a better number.
03:55And you know what I'm gonna have for lunch?
03:57A Hoagie Sandwich and a couple of Jaeger bombs.
03:59Bring Carver over here, liquid lunch.
04:01Give me a Jaeger bomb at 80 to one.
04:03You got it down to sandwich with a Jaeger bomb.
04:06I like it, 80 to one for Steven Jaeger this week for Cam.
04:09All right, the placements for me.
04:11We got a couple of guys with great history here, Cam.
04:14Russell Henley, he eats this place up, man.
04:16He's won here, it was a long time ago.
04:18And then you look at the last four years.
04:20He's lost in a playoff.
04:22He's got an 11th, he's got a fourth last year.
04:24Russell Henley is always around the top.
04:26So let's go a top five with him at a good price.
04:28Plus 360 for that.
04:30Top 10, Siwoo Kim, another former winner here at plus 250.
04:34How about, let's get some Canadian flavor.
04:36Taylor Pendrith at a top 10 at plus 290.
04:40Like the way he played last week.
04:41There's Kurt Kitayama on my board as well, Cam.
04:44Top 20 for me at plus 140.
04:46Nick the Dentist Taylor has some good numbers
04:49at this course the last few years.
04:52Top 20 at plus 280 and the big bomb of the week for me.
04:55And I know this guy's been rough.
04:58Taylor Montgomery, but Cam, for some reason at this place,
05:02he's been good.
05:03Last two years, 12th and 14th.
05:05Top 20 at plus 850.
05:09Montgomery burns, baby, let's go.
05:11Oh my God, you got three Taylors there, Carver.
05:14Where's Tyrod Taylor?
05:15I got a lot of Taylors.
05:15I got a lot of Taylors.
05:16Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, you're a Taylor.
05:19Anyway, I love your picks, buddy.
05:20Again, we're reading each other's mail.
05:22Let's rock.
05:23I'm gonna go with Canadian content too with Corey Connors.
05:25All he does is hit it straight.
05:26It's all about the putter with these guys.
05:28Tom Kim, I also like him to win, Carver,
05:30but I went in the top 10 market at almost two to one.
05:32Pendrith, another big bomber.
05:34If that putter gets hot, he's there.
05:35Plus 175, Thomas Dietrich.
05:37He doesn't win, but he's an ATM machine.
05:39Top 20 plus 260.
05:41Kuchar, old man Kuchar can get it around at 7,000 yards.
05:44Plus 130 for a top 40.
05:46And Patton Kazire plays well.
05:48Not getting any respect, Carver.
05:50Not getting any respect at all.
05:52Another former winner here, Patton Kazire.
05:54Came a long time ago, but a former winner at this event.
05:58First round leaders.
05:59We're 1-0 this year, baby.
06:01Hit Tom Hoagie last week at 65 to one.
06:03Let's try to keep things going.
06:05Where am I going?
06:06Kurt Kitayama.
06:07He's a first round leader guy.
06:0850 to one for him.
06:10Chris Kirk, usually a Thursday warrior at 55 to one.
06:13Smooth Keith Mitchell, killer Keith.
06:1580 to one for him.
06:16He always starts fast and fades away.
06:18Spenson, another Thursday guy at 80 to one.
06:21Justin Lauer at 90 to one.
06:23EVR at 100 to one for a guy
06:26that always plays well on Thursday.
06:27Why not?
06:28And there he is again.
06:29Taylor Montgomery loves the course.
06:32150 to one for first round leader.
06:35Cam, get him in quick.
06:36You got it.
06:37Postman delivers at 50 to one.
06:39Captain Kirk at 60.
06:40Hello, it's Harry Hall from UNLV.
06:4260 to one.
06:43This guy's on fire.
06:44I need a little Novocaine with Andrew Novak.
06:4670 to one.
06:47Spenson frozen dinners at 80
06:49and Patton Keziah at 110 Carver.
06:52Let's knock it out of the park.
06:53Hit a winner this week.
06:54And if everything was easy as a TGL, we'd be rich.
06:57Woo!
06:58The Bay Club, baby.
07:00The Bay Club with a big win for us last night
07:02on the screens.
07:03Cam, I'll see you next week.
07:04We go back to the mainland.
07:05The Amex, three courses,
07:08three first round leaders first next week.
07:10Let's go.
