WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:09.400 This is a downbeat on ninety seven to one The freak sar Good morning, 2 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:14.759 seven o'clock Wednesday, April ten, twenty twenty four. You believe it's twenty 3 00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.519 twenty four. People made it. We're doing good. It's a down but 4 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.839 it's Danny. It's no, it's in April. Yes, it's been twenty 5 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.559 twenty four for over three months now. But sometimes when you say the year, 6 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.399 you're like, jeez, look at us again. You broke me yesterday 7 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.359 when you said twenty forty five. I'm like, boy, that's right on 8 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:40.880 my line. Twenty one years from now. Yeah, your line, that's 9 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.719 right on your line definitely online. You should be, okay, should be. 10 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.840 I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and I just kind of 11 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.200 whispered, you're really not taking good care of yourself. Yeah, it's good 12 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.359 to give yourself that good self will then be hard on yourself a little bit. 13 00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.200 As I've said many times, at least once a year, I just 14 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.200 stare at my fully nude body in the mirror for a good five minutes and 15 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.239 just kind of reassess where I am in the world. There you go. 16 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.319 When I'd kick the Masters week off with a little self reflection. That's what 17 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.120 I've been doing, and that worked out. Not well, I'm okay. 18 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.640 It's amazing because I look at myself and I looked the same. And then 19 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.439 when I get back from the gym, I'll be like, oh yeah, 20 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.359 I think I might have tightened up a little bit, and that's just not 21 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.840 how it works. You just feel better about it. Yeah, that's true. 22 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.680 No one trip to the gym ever does anything. I like when you 23 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.280 get back into the gym and about five days later, you're like, okay, 24 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:34.519 you start to see a little bit of stuff. I think I'm trying 25 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.439 to see all something you're not. You're not you're not saying anything. Do 26 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.359 you ever think this? What if I could just press a button and just 27 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.959 for an instant look, however, I looked the absolute best day I ever 28 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:49.319 looked in my life. Because if you are consistently on the gym or you're 29 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.879 eating well, losing some weight, like, you don't know what that day 30 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.439 is. And when you see yourself every day, you're like, all right, 31 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.200 you know, I don't know, Okay, I'm fine, Like I'm 32 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.519 fine. Yeah. I don't think anyone one of us are ones that have 33 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.840 documented our fitness careers with mirror selfies. Yeah, yeah, and you can 34 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.159 take mirrors. I mean, obviously not for sharing, no one wants to 35 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.599 see that, but just to assess where you stand. You know, it's 36 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.719 probably not a bad idea to take a maybe underwear selfie on January first every 37 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.759 year or something like that. Let it hang. That'd be sort of interesting, 38 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.879 you know. But I wonder what I look like on my best day, 39 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.520 and maybe it's today. April tenth, twenty twenty four, the day 40 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.120 before the Masters begins. We are gambling, we're betting, we're fired up. 41 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.319 Our heroes descend on Augusta, Georgia for the big one. Yeah, 42 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:49.120 for the Masters, the Masters. Danny's the Masters, the Masters. Kevin 43 00:02:50.039 --> 00:03:00.919 say it. It's the Masters. Maddie, it's the Masters. It's the 44 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.639 Master. It is the Masters. She's right, it's the Masters. It's 45 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.280 the Masters. Master, it's the Masters, the Masters, the Masters. 46 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:14.159 Twenty twenty four, Masters, the Masters. That's good, Augusta, Georgia. 47 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.639 Danny is number one, Maddi's number two. I'm three, Kevin's four. 48 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.199 Albert Robert duvall is five for the new new Hire. For the Master's 49 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.120 voiceover, Guy, do it more time, Dany. That was good. 50 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.599 Welcome to the Masters. That's all I've got. That's really good, though. 51 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:42.840 That is look out in Nancy. Welcome No, I already hated it. 52 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.439 Welcome No, put a little little air, a little whisper behind your 53 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:52.919 voice. Welcome to the Masters, speaking list, Trump gravelly r at the 54 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:59.960 list. Welcome to the Masters. A better time, one of the best. 55 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:05.639 It's definitely named the best. That's name a US open. We like 56 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:13.560 open, not even gonna say it. Democrats love open, like the borders 57 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.839 anyway, and then Howard Biden do it. It's no one can do it. 58 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.600 It's the Masters. And at nine o'clock today we got a big stupid 59 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:34.120 Master's bet. It's very convoluted. Lee Elder ruined everything. Lee Elder ruined 60 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:42.120 everything just jokes. Yeah, we're having fun. We are having fun. 61 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.120 Look, there's a lot of people listening. There's some that don't care about 62 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.240 this, and that's fine, but there are many who are going to be 63 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.560 betting a lot of weird stuff. This is if you're in a golf majors 64 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.319 thing. It all starts tomorrow, like you, This is how you set 65 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.560 up your whole year a pool. Go ahead, you definitely the elder ruined, 66 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.399 everyth ruined every the other's like, man, I'm just over here. 67 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:10.680 Well he's not with us anymore. Oh boy, I'm sorry, dude, 68 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.959 I trust me. It's showtime. Yeah. First things first, is this 69 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:23.920 one at least I readd Augusta, Georgia to my weather app and I have 70 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.519 are we looking We're looking like s butt City tomorrow? How are we looking 71 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.360 there? Sec delcas, We are looking like s butt City. It does 72 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:38.920 look like s butt City. Tomorrow is going to be terrible. And there's 73 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.560 a chance we don't even have f and golf tomorrow. I'm not gonna lie 74 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.680 to you guys, dude. That is that where it's trajected towards I saw. 75 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.639 I don't know. That's probably a little expect a little dramatic, Yeah, 76 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.839 a little dramatic. But if you just look at the basics, it's 77 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:58.560 Thursday, ninety chance of rain, and it kicks off at three am, 78 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.839 four or five, six, seven eight, and plays supposed to start at 79 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:10.040 six am here, seven am there tomorrow, So there's a good chance that 80 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.879 it's a very delayed start tomorrow and then maybe even bunched up into Friday morning 81 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.319 where they finish the first round and just turn it into a damn mess. 82 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.360 Win gust forty to forty five miles per hour no way between seven am and 83 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:25.920 one pm tomorrow, Oh my god. Forty Yeah, at a minimum, 84 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.319 that's just gust, you know, it doesn't matter. Steady one would be 85 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.319 twenty to twenty five. Yeah, dude, that's still a lot. It's 86 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.879 a lot. But that only if that only happens while it's raining. They're 87 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.680 not gonna be out there playing anyway. So course wise, the guys were 88 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.959 sitting in the practice round that it was. It's brutal the last couple of 89 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.360 days, like the hardest, firmest, like good shots are bouncing off the 90 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.000 green. But they are budgeting for this rain that's gonna come and soften the 91 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.199 course. And if it is soft and wet, even if you play tomorrow 92 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.279 afternoon, you know, delayed rounds or even into Friday, the thought is 93 00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.160 that bomber's paradise, right, I mean, if it's wet and the greens 94 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.680 are fairly receptive, that it's gonna your long player's advantage. That's the thought 95 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.800 at least. And no course in America is set up better to drain a 96 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.319 bunch of rain than the masters so they can get them on maybe. Yeah. 97 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:16.879 I saw a ninety percent chance of rain at one pm tomorrow though, 98 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.839 so and that gets down to like a thirty percent chance by four pm. 99 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.720 So maybe some of those guys they do get out just to get some play 100 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.480 in so they can finish on Sunday. There's only eighty eight people in the 101 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.160 field though, too, so it's like it's a huge tournament. There's a 102 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.000 chance they could they could get nine in tomorrow, right, Yeah, they 103 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:40.160 can't get more than that. They could start them rain pull them off, 104 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.839 yeah, and they will run back out and yeah, I mean they'll start 105 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.279 them in the rain. Yeah, depending on how much will they double up 106 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.079 or let's say they get nine in tomorrow, would they do a round and 107 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:54.240 a half on Thursday? Yeah, I mean they'll they will start jamming it 108 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.240 in so they don't want this bleeding over on a Monday. No, no, 109 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.839 no, no. If it only rains tomorrow for the first half of 110 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.560 the they will manage it and make it work and we'll have a normal master's 111 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.480 finish on Sunday and weather it's a great Saturday and Sunday, yeah, that's 112 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:11.000 supposed to beautiful, and Friday pretty good. Too, but I wonder if 113 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:16.720 they've pushed back. No, no, so I mean right now they're planning 114 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.639 to play on schedule, but we shall see injury updates real quick for people 115 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.439 if you're putting fantasy lineups in that sort of thing. Again, if you're 116 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.720 in some big pool. We'll start with Jordan Speith, hometown hero, twenty 117 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:39.879 fifteen Masters Champion, Bubba Wallace, Bubba Watson before him, Danny Willett after 118 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:45.159 him, apparently aggravated a left wrist injury last week at the Valero Texas Open. 119 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.919 He's been dealing with the risk injuries for a while, dating back last 120 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.960 season. He aggravated it prior to the Century in January and he finished in 121 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.159 third place, so it's not bugged him before. But then he said he 122 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.120 also reaggravated it right before the players and he missed the cut there. So 123 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.320 he says, when his wrist flares up, I can't do anything that day, 124 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.399 So damn. I mean, as probably the person that most people listening 125 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.840 to this are cheering for fighting a wrist injury, how much will it impact 126 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.360 things? Kevin Turner, I think that impacts things a lot, But I 127 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.519 also think the way he's been playing impacts things a little more than that. 128 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.799 I don't think he's been playing very well, and like he's probably a good 129 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.600 fit for the course because he's decent with his irons, he can scramble around 130 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.360 the greens all that stuff. I still don't think he ever has any idea 131 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.240 whereas his drives are going. That's why people like him so much, because 132 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.919 he's just a wild man. Yeah, he is the antithesis of Scottie Shuffler 133 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.519 for as basic as he seems off the course. Yeah he is a wing 134 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:52.240 nut. Yeah he'll yell, but he's also really good at Augusta. Oh, 135 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.679 he's one of the best. He's just one of these dudes who is 136 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.360 just their game is geared to this course. I will retell it because I've 137 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.120 told it many times. With the one Masters I went to was twenty fifteen, 138 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:07.639 the Sunday that Jordan Speath won, and we were right at the beginning 139 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.440 of Amen Corner, the eleventh hole, part four, maybe the hardest on 140 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.480 the course, I don't know, a very difficult part four. And he 141 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.480 sprayed his driveway right and I heard, I knew the group that was coming 142 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.440 through, and I heard the trees and I look down and bounding is Jordan 143 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.200 Speed's golf ball. I am am way right, and I sprint to his 144 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.159 golf ball and I straddle it because I've been in enough tournaments. And do 145 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.320 you want to see burst Watch a forty something year old person see a golf 146 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.039 ball that they can get closer to than anyone else. Boom gone. If 147 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.960 you weren't head on a swivel, you'd have lost me. I straddle his 148 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.120 golf ball and moments later he walks up, Michael Greller walks up, CBS 149 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:46.879 cameras walk up, and right when they get there, I kind of put 150 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.679 my arms on, like, hey, give him some space. Oh he 151 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.720 went to bodyguarden moments back. Yes, And I'm then I know I'm going 152 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.399 to be front of the line, right. I kind of just make sure 153 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.919 everyone backs up. And I could not have been. I was closer than 154 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.320 you and I are right now, Dannie, the Jordan Greller, the CBS 155 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.240 camera. I mean, I'm on the right side of amen quarter. I'm 156 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.039 in it. I'm in the ass. I'm part of the masters. You 157 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.360 did the noble thing there too. Did you kind of tell him? I, 158 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.519 Hey, Jordan, I not let anything happen to you. MANA from 159 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.559 Dallas. His head was in the game, but Greller and I looked at 160 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.080 each other and I gave him a nod that I had this. You're now 161 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.440 for the remainder of this hole under my protection. Did you give him some 162 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.080 tips on his approach from the previous shots i'd seen? Yeah? Oh, 163 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.200 like, yeah, you want to keep it under these trees and get it 164 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.519 up maybe off to the right of the green. Nice up and down. 165 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.440 I'll start invoking how masters winners of ages ages ago did it. Yeah, 166 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.919 he's telling me if he really finishes his swing, the ball won't be leaking 167 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.200 out to the right like that a little bit too. You have a couple 168 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.200 to avoid the place he's in all Arno Palmer had their shot in nineteen fifty 169 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.000 eight, the year he won his first Masters, proceeding a second in nineteen 170 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.600 sixties, third in nineteen sixty two and his final fourth Master's victory in nineteen 171 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.519 sixty four. He had this shot. Listen to me, Michael, did 172 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.039 you make TV? Yeah? Absolutely, and you have it saved. Oh 173 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.240 yeah, I have two of the great greatest pictures ever from that day, 174 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.200 and obviously I didn't. Do you have video of you like standing over the 175 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.440 ball. No, No, the cameras weren't there then, okay, but 176 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.600 the camera gets there. And it's also those camera follows the ball and where 177 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:26.279 it ends up, not when he hit, not in the trees like that, 178 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.559 and they're just you can see a scramble of people. Now that's a 179 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.600 good question, because no, I don't think they saw the ball come to 180 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.480 rest. I think it was through trees. But then the camera guy comes 181 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.480 up. He's right behind it. It's also much closer than you think too, 182 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.360 especially when you missed the fairway like that. I mean, the camera 183 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.080 guy's right behind Speed. There's no more in a couple maybe a few feet 184 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.120 of swinging room that he has. And I was right there to the right 185 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.440 anyway. But what the point I brought that up is because Speith is a 186 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.399 wild man, and I got to see firsthand Jordan Speed back nine of the 187 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.639 masters that he's leading, doing the mental gymnastics of what needs to happen in 188 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.799 this shot and talking to Michael Greller. I've never seen someone I mean I 189 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.000 would if he didn't gone to win, I would have said he was melting 190 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.759 down. Yeah, because he's muttering to himself, he's talking to the trees, 191 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.440 he's talking to Michael, he's talking to nobody in particular. He walks 192 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:18.600 one hundred yards up to go take a look at what's under the trees. 193 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.840 Then he walks back, still muttering the whole time. I mean, head 194 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.039 case, as maybe everyone is when you're trying to win the effing Masters on 195 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.360 a Sunday on Amen corner, like I don't, I don't know, but 196 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.559 he shows it more than those other guys though. You never saw Koepka or 197 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.519 any of those guys do that, true, Bill, And that's that's a 198 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.039 lot like wing and I think people like that. Yeah, that's real. 199 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.480 He's a wing nut. The way he hits the ball, it's fun. 200 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.799 Do some people wonder if his game has ever or his game has suffered because 201 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.159 of what happened in twenty sixteen way choked? Yeah, I mean probably, 202 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.399 but didn't he he's never been the same, right, Well, no, 203 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.679 he won the Open after that, right, I don't know. I hate 204 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:05.519 that's when Dustin Johnson choked and uh in Chambers Bay, right, I think 205 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.480 that was twenty seventeen, right, Yeah, Dustin Johnson three jacked the eighteenth 206 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.120 hole to sort of hand speak the Chambers Bay US Open and then he won 207 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:20.799 in twenty seventeen in the Open Championship. So no, his downfall didn't didn't 208 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.799 start right though. It's a demon though, dude, for sure. And 209 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.600 he but he's just so consistently good at AUGUSTA six top four finishes at Augusta, 210 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.360 like he's just always kind of around. But will this risk injury affect 211 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.480 things. I'm staying away from him. I'm staying with my betting circles. 212 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.200 I'm not playing him at all. I'm not either. I don't trust him. 213 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.799 I trusted him for a long time well because he's hard to trust because 214 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.519 he's nuts. But when I watch him play, I'm pulling for him too. 215 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.080 And it is weird that he is such a local favorite. And we've 216 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.440 said it before, it's odd that Scotti Scheffler doesn't even doesn't really have that 217 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.759 level of like passionate support here in Dallas that speak. And I don't know 218 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.480 why you think of you think of Jordan, you think of Dallas. You 219 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.159 know, he's always felt rooted and connected here. I don't Scotty Scheffler is 220 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.440 so nondescript. I don't think of him as being connected to the city in 221 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.039 any way whatsoever. I have a theory on this. It's that Jordan looks 222 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.320 like a kid. Scotty Scheffler, despite being super young, has always looked 223 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.320 like a big grown man. It's just like, oh yeah, it's just 224 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.480 kind of basic guide speeth. At least we saw him as a kid. 225 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:35.519 Yeah, it was excited babyface. Yeah. And Danny said, Scotty Scheffler's 226 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.440 head looks like a football. It does a little bit more like a rugby 227 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.399 ball. And Scheffler is born in New Jersey, but he's definitely a Dallas 228 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.240 dude. Scheffler is four to one to win this tournament. Scheffler and Luca 229 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.759 are and there's not even argument for anyone else. Are the two most dominant 230 00:15:52.759 --> 00:16:00.960 athletes in DFW by far, and now it's him or the field with all 231 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.960 these people. I mean, if you ask anyone who the greatest, the 232 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.000 best golfer currently on Earth right now is, you will get no blowback that 233 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.159 it's Scottie Shuffler. And how many people have had that and you Tiger Kepka 234 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.840 had it for a little bit. Yeah, Phil didn't even have that title 235 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:22.519 ever. You know, like just undoubtedly the top guy. He four to 236 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:27.679 one. That's Tiger numbers You don't put a golfer at four to one to 237 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.360 win a tournament like that's crazy. Seven to one, eight to one, 238 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.960 those are solid favorite numbers. I don't know if I've ever seen a four 239 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.600 to one. I think Tiger was. They've had him at like three to 240 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.320 one one or two of those years in the Masters. Yeah, I think 241 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.200 so. So listen to this. Since twenty sixteen, the favorite to win 242 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.240 a golf tournament, all golf tournaments, golf betting favorites have won forty one 243 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:55.480 times in five hundred and three events. That's good for eight just over eight 244 00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:02.639 percent of the time, which is about an eleven percent win rate. So 245 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.440 if you have someone four to one, it just doesn't really make sense to 246 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.119 bet him, man. I mean, he could trounce him, just like 247 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.799 he did the players. You know, he was the favorite there and you 248 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.880 knew it's probably gonna win, and he went off and won. But you 249 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:18.279 just can't bet someone at four percent. The other thing was Scheffler wife Meredith 250 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:26.599 Prager's their first kid not due for about two weeks, but the window is 251 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.480 a jar, and they already asked him and Scotti. Scheffler says, if 252 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.000 I get the call, I am leaving immediately. I'm out, And some 253 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.079 golfers say that, and then they have a debate. I think if it's 254 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.039 Saturday afternoon and Scotti Shuffler is a five stroke lead and he gets that call, 255 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:42.960 I think he's on the plane. He's at least asking to speak with 256 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.680 the doctor. Yeah, what is what's really happening here? Doc? Yeah? 257 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:49.880 Was it go time? Or is she just freaking? I mean, 258 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.160 how far four centimeters? Okay, I'm good, I can finish this. 259 00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.920 So there is a chance that I mean, you know, it never really 260 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.880 seems to happen. Can you imagine if you's leading the Masters though, and 261 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.559 he says, uh, the official comes over and he says, I withdraw. 262 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.799 It's crazy anyway, Scotti Scheffler is the heavy favorite. John Rahm would 263 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.680 be the other guy in the argument. For John Rahm, he is really 264 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:21.839 good. He is on live, So we're back to this argument of unsure 265 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.960 if he's been forged in the five his game is sharp. But they all 266 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.200 proved it last year that they're all sharp. I mean, Kepko was second 267 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.920 last year and pat Reeve was top five. Ram has been good, kept 268 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.440 Goa won a major like it seems already debunked that not playing on the PGA 269 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.759 Tour has zero impact on your ability to win major. But I will say 270 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.759 this, Ron good well, especially here too. Yeah, but there's something 271 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:52.000 weird with Rom because he's almost like he's got this the mantle that Rory has 272 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.759 had for the last few years, which is just a bunch of crap I 273 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.440 have to deal with. And he keeps saying, you know, like he's 274 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.359 maybe at the forefront of maybe let's bring this thing back together, Like it's 275 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.960 all this weight that Rory has been dealing with that I feel like kind of 276 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.160 has been transferred to John Rahm. Plus he has all the obligations of a 277 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:12.119 defending champion. There's only been three people to ever defend, defend the Masters 278 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.559 and win it two years in a row. It's being Jack Nicholas in nineteen 279 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:22.039 sixty five and nineteen sixty six. Is oppressive, Sure are the others. 280 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:27.559 Nick Faldo in nineteen ninety nine or nineteen eighty nine and nineteen ninety Tiger Woods 281 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.519 in two thousand and one, in two thousand and two, that's Mike Siroy. 282 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.880 I'm Mike Siroy. That's say Baylist. Maddie's in with us today. 283 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:40.119 Who's that Kevin Hello? Kevin Hi really hard to defend and I just don't 284 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.160 think Rom's gonna do it. So if I'm fading one of the big dogs, 285 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.880 fad genre, he's fading gen RANG, Fading GENRENG. You heard it 286 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.400 right here. I know eighty seven won the Freak I mean, tied for 287 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.960 fourth last week in Miami on the live tour. Fading GENRENG been in top 288 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:03.599 ten in every live event. Fading John Row, Wow, he's fighting John 289 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.799 Rock. And I said, the weight that John Rahm is carrying, it's 290 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:14.440 taken off of someone else. Another man. Oh, I have one name 291 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.079 that's gonna win the twenty twenty four Masters on Monday. We're gonna come in 292 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.160 here and talk about how it finally happened. You did this last year and 293 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:30.279 you were right, thank you, How he's achieved the career Grand Slam. 294 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:37.880 Northern Ireland's Rory McElroy. What is going to win the Masters in five days 295 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.599 time? Let's see you put your money where your mouth is at nine o'clock. 296 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.519 Rory McElroy. Wow, see who he picks? Begins up getting the 297 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:52.880 number one pick. Put that green jacket over your muscular shoulders. You've done 298 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.440 it son mister cut last year, Danny, congratulations. Yeah, top ten 299 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.799 and eight of the last nine majors. He has missed two out of the 300 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.960 last three Master's cuts. But everything other than that is essentially a top ten. 301 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.119 And to think, oh, he can't win the green jacket, that's 302 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.519 stupid what he did this year. He showed up yesterday like half an hour 303 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.480 before his press conference. He's like, the only change I'm not. I'm 304 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.480 doing it like I do every other week. I'm sick of going early, 305 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.519 I'm sick of the weight I've been carrying. I'm treating this like every other 306 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.920 week. And I think just enough of the shine is off Rory this year 307 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:27.160 to where it's not at what everyone's talking about the last few years. Yeah, 308 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.480 that's one of the biggest stories. Y R R Rory. I think 309 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.119 enough of it's off and he might just have a bucket a e F fitt. 310 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.240 Oh yes, and he's gonna remind you that he's the number one player 311 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.319 in the world and his name is Rory maclroy. The one club that has 312 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.799 been giving him a lot of problem problems because the putter can come and go 313 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.079 for these guys. I mean, some guys are notoriously bad putters, but 314 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:53.400 especially here at Augusta, where it's you're putting on glass, it's a little 315 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:59.359 different like the bullpen and basically like le Clerk. Yeah, he can be 316 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.839 good sometimes, but like it's the approach play all right, the irons and 317 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.359 all that stuff. And he had his best week in a long time last 318 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.599 week and his third place finish hit the Valerio Texas Open. I'm with you, 319 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.559 Mike. No, that's not my pick, but that's Do you have 320 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.799 one name to win the Masters? Kevin Turner. I'm a big pe you 321 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.759 know who. I think he has not been playing well, but no one's 322 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.200 talking about and I think he's gonna be awesome and I think he might win 323 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:33.000 it. Victor Hoveland, which everyone's a little He has not been playing well, 324 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.759 and I know it's probably not the course, like if you're not playing 325 00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:37.319 well to go oh and all of a sudden, you're just gonna start kicking 326 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:42.759 ass. But Victor Hoveland has everything you need to win here, absolutely, 327 00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:45.880 and his odds are gonna be good. I mean it's he's a long shot 328 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.599 or anything. He's probably the six or seventh favorite to win. But dude, 329 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.799 I'm a little drunk on Victor Hovelind. I kind of love it because 330 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.960 it's so not sexy. It's nice. He was seventh last year. I 331 00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:03.480 think he can do it, and maybe I love him and maybe that's part 332 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.680 of the problem too. The ones that I saw on him was he does 333 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.759 not have a top fifteen finish so far in twenty twenty four. Oh uh 334 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:17.119 oh, change it. Hideki Matsuma can't go wrong. My friend Hideki absolutely 335 00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:18.839 could be the guy. He could be the danger man this week. That's 336 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.839 the one name you need to know. Mike Hi Deki changed it.
