00:00Who are you going after this week?
00:02And I always say to you, love when we're reading the same mail
00:05and we are on a lot of guys this week.
00:06I love it.
00:08You know, Mike, one last point that we were talking about
00:10during the break.
00:11You need to know this about the Valspar.
00:13The concentration of scores here is the tightest of almost
00:16any tour event, right?
00:17That means if you can get through Thursday unscathed
00:20with this weather, no matter what it turns out to be,
00:22and you have great players with huge leverage opportunities
00:25in their value on Thursday afternoon,
00:27that's what I'm going for.
00:28I'm starting with Willie Z.
00:30I mean, the Happy 2 Gilmore, the trailer drops this week.
00:33Why not go with Happy's caddy?
00:34Willie Z, he started the week at 25.
00:37He's up to 45.
00:38The guy's got five top 30s this year.
00:41His approach game has been stellar,
00:43and the putter was good over there at Sawgrass.
00:46When Willie gets hot and on tough golf courses,
00:49you got to love it.
00:50You keep asking me all year.
00:51I've been out there eight straight weeks.
00:53I've seen Willie a bunch of times play golf.
00:55He keeps getting better and better and more and more
00:57comfortable since the back surgery.
01:00I love the opportunity there.
01:01Alex Smalley, another great ball striker.
01:03This guy, you know, it is all,
01:06if you look at the average gain per start in 2025,
01:10this guy's gaining six strokes on the field, right?
01:12He was 14th at the players.
01:14Duke grad, you want a little NCAA madness in there,
01:17throw him in there.
01:18Lucas Glover, plus 4,500.
01:21Now he's up to plus 7,000.
01:23We have five par threes on this golf course
01:25with an average length of 212.
01:27I will take Lucas Glover on any kind of golf course
01:29like that where he gets a perfect lie
01:31for five par three shots a day.
01:33Great with the long irons.
01:35And he's been playing well lately, third at the players.
01:37And then don't go to sleep on this guy.
01:40Jake Afternoon Knapp, who you love.
01:42Started the week at 50, he's up to 90.
01:44The approach game and the putting,
01:46which are the two things that you need at this place
01:48in order to contend are really, really sharp for Knapp.
01:51And I just love it.
01:53I love the fact that he swings easy when it's breezy,
01:56it gets windy there, you know.
01:58Thursday, I love Jake Knapp to get the job done
02:00with the putter and the iron game.
02:03Yeah, no doubt.
02:04Willie Z is on my card as well, Keith.
02:06Let's hope he can get home.
02:07And remember, I saw you tweet this, I think,
02:09over the weekend, or you mentioned it somewhere.
02:12If his game's rounding into form,
02:14he's played well at Augusta in the past.
02:18Keep it in mind as we're getting a little closer here,
02:20as you said, to Magnolia Lane.
02:22And this is a tournament also.
02:24I was looking at the average, you know, odds for the winner.
02:27You've had bombs here.
02:28You know, you've had lots of bombs.
02:31I mean, Malnati won last year, for God's sake.
02:33So you've had Peter Malnati win this thing
02:36after the Burns double.
