What is going on DJ Nation? Kenny Kim here, bring you another fantasy golf journalist podcast this week for the Built More Championship from the Cliffs at Walnut Club. It's a long name. It's a long name. Byron, could not make it this week. He's a little bit under the weather, plus he had his little baby, Newt Kits, or everyone to give Byron a little shot of what we are here with our special guest. Spencer Aggie, our Spencer is back. He was on a few weeks ago. He did a great job. We decided to have him back on Spencer. What's up brother? Not too much. It's always a pleasure to be able to do a show with you Kenny. Congratulations, as you said to Byron. He's one of my closest friends in this space. Excited for everything that he has going on with his personal life and now the birth of his second child. So, glad I can be here today and start the fall season with this tongue twister of a course that you just talked about. Yeah, I expect Byron will be back next week for the president's cup. We'll do a show for the president's cup next week. You probably won't be as long as usual. I'm probably going to save my story time for next week as well from my trip to Green Bay.

It was a wild one. I will definitely say, I want to wait for Byron because it's going to be a good yin and yang. He just had a baby. I tried to impregnate a 24 year old. So the yin and the yang works out very, very well. So we're going to wait for next week for the story time because it is a wild one. I did some really fucking stupid shit. Probably the stupidest shit I've done on one of these trips ever in my life. So little tease for next week, you can hear how much of a fucking idiot I was. Let's just say I was in the champagne room for over six hours. We'll just leave it at that. That's all we need to know. That's all we need to know. The next day my boys went back to the place. It was the over office in Green Bay. The next day they went back and they were asking where I was because they wanted to put a picture

of me on the wall next to President Trump because it is the over office. So that's the name of the strip club. So they have to go about that. I don't know if they're pro Trump and that Trump, whatever. Nice gore frame. Yeah, wherever, wherever's the president gets their picture up on the wall at this strip club. And they said they wanted to put my picture next day. I don't know how to feel about that one, but we'll tell this story next week. We'll move on to what we missed the last couple of weeks. What we watched the last couple of weeks, I mean, there's been some deep in the world towards stuff. Let's have a really caught my eye in the golf world the last two weeks. Has been the team golf. You look at the Walker Cup a couple of weeks ago. The Americans had four or five puts to win the cup and they ended up losing the cup like completely. Pretty crazy stuff going down. They lost in singles seven to 10.

And of course, the ladies this past week, I think this is the first time the ladies have been, the American ladies have been tied or in the lead. They were tied going into the Sunday singles on the road in a very, very long time over a decade. And they couldn't pull it off. The Europeans went out there and took it down. Only one seven to 12 seven to five on the final day to get their soul high and cup. Hopefully you follow me on X because for some reason, since even though no American team is one in Europe, men or women since 2015, the Americans were favored. And that did not make any sense to me at all. So I pounded the Europeans with sort of sucks. Because of course, I'm rooting for the Americans. But when it comes to gambling, sometimes you just got to play where the smart money lies. What's your take on team golf? Did you get to watch any of those two events? Or what are you expecting for the president's cup as well? I watched a little bit of it. I don't take, you know, I sounds like you had a wild occasion on your end,

Kenny which I'll tune into the show next week to hear more about. I took my own little bit of a hiatus from the space. Kind of got away from golf for a little bit. Ended up traveling with my girlfriend. So a lot more wholesome of an answer. I guess from what we're going to hear from you next week from it. But watched a little bit of it. I think in general, it's interesting to see that both of the two teams entered the final round with a chance to win. And we saw singles go wayward for them. It's kind of the exact opposite of what we typically come to expect from the men during the rider cup where it's a lot of these really slow starts sometimes against these European squads. And then we see Sunday singles come into play. And that's kind of where the big guns come and show out for us. And we end up either capturing the title or, you know, maybe getting it a lot closer than it should have been. Kind of think of this last goal around at the rider cup where we did everything in our power very late to try to make a comeback there. We're not able to do so.

But Sunday singles is usually where the strength comes in lies for them on it. I think the president's cup is going to be interesting. Like the answer I will give to this. And it's a really boring take Kenny at the end of the day. Because like I'm not the team captain. I'm not the person that's making the optimal decisions for either two of the squads that are going to be in play. I think sometimes we see current form entering one of these events. And people think for one reason or another a golfer should have made the team or shouldn't have made the team. Like I'm a much bigger believer that how somebody fits a course is a lot more impactful than anything that maybe we've gotten from a shorter duration of time. Specifically for an event like this to where we've had a hiatus now for the last two weeks. And some of these golfer's are not going to be in play for a month leading into the president's cup here. So I think statistically if I was to run numbers for the American squad and try to figure out what the optimal team was, I don't know if I would come up with the same exact answer from what we got

from the captains during this go around with it. But Madinah's a fun course. It's going to be wide open. It's one of those venues where I don't want to call it bomb and gouge because I do think that their strategy that comes into play for where you miss. But you're going to see players pulling driver out of their bags hot and heavy throughout every single get together between the pairings and then into singles. And it's really of the most importance to find yourself missing to the correct angle. And I thought there were some very questionable picks made on the other end of the spectrum. You look at somebody like Bezade and Halt who is not exactly what we talk of of long golfer's off the T. So I don't know. Everybody has the reasons for what they've done and why they've done it. It doesn't mean I necessarily agree with it. But it's a lot of speculation Kenny until we get to the actual performances that get put into place. Because if you think about it, even if we know the team now, the teams now, we don't know the

pairings. We don't know exactly how they're going to put them together. And I can come on here and tell you, well, Scotty's most optimal with this person or Justin Thomas should be sitting in this regard or whatever the answers are. We don't really know what they're going to do. And I think that we kind of saw that quite pronounced at the end of the day during the writer cup where I thought Keegan Bradley made a disaster of his decisions with everything that he did over and over again. So that doesn't mean that anything is right or wrong on the surface level of it. But it'll get better or worse as the decisions get made once we get around to this in a week. Yeah, I mean, if you just look at the rosters, I mean the American should win and they're probably well. I don't see the international's having much of a chance. But at some point in time, I mean, they're going to make one close. I don't expect it to be on the road. I don't expect it to be this one. I think the Americans should win. But there are three Koreans on the team and four of Korean heritage and six slanny-eyed guys

on the team. So hey, the more slanny-eyed people are on the team, I want to give them better opportunity to win. So we'll see. It's always fun to use events and hopefully the international team can make it close. Of course, I end up rooting for an international team every president's company. It doesn't go well since I was born in Korea. I had that heritage. So I don't know if I'll put any money on the international, but I'll be rooting for them. And we'll see how that goes. All right, as we move on, let's talk about the King of the Draft. By running it up winning. The King of the Draft. It was Spencer's great idea. As you've been watching the show here, we've been talking about it every week. He actually took down Tango in the semi-finals and Derek Farhan's were large in notorious in the finals, two of the best DFS players in the world. Probably he went out there and took him down. Why don't you talk a little bit about how it went down? Maybe anything cool that you noticed about the rosters or anything like that? Yes, it was the one in the two seeds, Kenny. Tamba was the two. Farhan's Earth was the one in Byron,

went in and really went through the gauntlet there to get himself across the finish line. Not to say that Byron wasn't one of the favorites himself. When I ran simulations from this, so what I wanted from the very start is it was 36 of the content creators that everybody has come to know in this space. I handful of people that I think that for me, it's really important to create a community. That was the number one thing that I did with my career move of opening up my own website this year and kind of going in a different landscape that I had been for the eight years previous. For me, it was important to how can we get some of those content creators that everybody loves in one place together and also get some of these under the radar guys that may not get the publicity as somebody like you does Kenny or as Byron or as Tamba or any of these really big prominent names in the space and see how they can do it. It was put together last minute with it. It was one of those things where I wanted to make sure that we ended by the tour championship. We just got in the nick of time to be able to get that finished and it was one of those things

where we scrambled to make sure everything worked and my eventual hope is that if we can get this into motion for next year, it's going to be bigger and better than ever. I would love to have it be March Madness style to the very core of it. Let's get 68 content creators in there. Let's get a couple of play in games and let's take this from the very start of 2027 until the end. I think when I looked at this contest from start to finish, one of the things I noticed is you see the thing I love about the show is that anybody can go on and we can talk about lineup constructions and we can make what we think is the optimal decision over and over again. For example, this week, if Jackson Coiven in your model is so by far and away the number one golfer that you just want to lock button him into a spot, it's very simple to do that and there's no ramifications for not being able to use him if somebody else takes him and the thing I love about the contest is it's a snake style draft from start to finish. It opens in group stage matchups

where two people advance from every single group and then it becomes a head to head from there, but it's singular picks from every single player. So you're never going to get if the contest had entered into this week for the finals. Byron's not going to be able to draft Jackson Coiven and Farne's worth is not going to be able to draft Jackson Coiven. So there's a lot of on your feet, quick hitting decisions that need to get made. And I think from a listener perspective and somebody who tunes into the show, you get a lot of unique takes that you wouldn't normally do because people kind of get backed into a corner and get forced into a different construction than they would optimally like from it. So credit to Byron, pretty dominant from start to finish. He had that quarter final match against Millie go to was making a Cinderella run there as one of the dark horse names in the longer seeded teams from the mix. But I mean, other than that Byron was pretty dominant from start to finish and it up meeting another come from behind victory on Sunday against

Farne's worth to seal this thing. But I'll have Byron post some pictures of the belt. He's been paid the money for it. It was $1,500 for the winner. So $1,500 richer there and the belt sick. The belt was something like I think all of us and all of you guys on Mayo Media Network love wrestling. And I'm somebody who has that show last year before it was turned into what it was. Pat had us on the network doing King of the Draft there for a full season. And that was one of the things that I incorporated over and over again was that wrestling theme into the mix of stuff. And like I think of World Series of poker where those bracelets become prominent and it's something that all the poker players are striving towards. And I wanted to make this belt something that was it looked good. It could be shown off. We went to I can give names of places, right Kenny? Yeah. So we got it through trophy smack. But it's a it's a six pound belt. This thing is sick. It has Byron's

picture on the side. It announces them the winner. I'll have them post it for everybody on it. But the hope is to get this back up and running in 2027. Obviously Kenny, you are going to be there again as one of the top 15 seeds if we can get this thing off the ground. But you know, anybody who did tune into the show, I appreciate you doing so. And anybody who didn't, I would love for you to check it out. Like one of my ultimate goals is trying to hold some qualifiers during the off season for maybe fans. I would love to get fans on there next year that, you know, people who tune into your show maybe we'll have a random week where the fantasy golf degenerates we find four listeners of the show who come on and represent the audience of the fantasy golf degenerates in the draft. So I want companies represented. I want fans represented. I kind of want this community from top to bottom represented it with it. And it's something that you and I Kenny will talk about if we are looking like we're going to get this back in motion. But that's kind of the goal. So stay tuned everybody out there for for that announcement. Yeah, that that sounds amazing bringing some fans of

the shows in that that would be cool. Like we could do a little contest, you know, whoever finishes can be in this. That that sounds a great idea just to bring more people involved. I like that. And it was a great idea that you had. It was very well run. I watched some of the shows. It was really well done. Make sure you check out Spencer's, you know, YouTube channel, all that stuff. Watch all his content. Make sure you check out all that stuff. Subscribe. Like all that good shit. One thing I did forget our show sponsored by draft Kings use promo code FGD to get yourself a nice little bonus for the first time. The positives were in the football season now. So could be new. It could be wanting to try draft Kings. Make sure you use promo code FGD to get yourself a nice little bonus. All right. So let's move on to this week. Let's talk about the built more championship from the cliffs at Walnut Coals. The cliffs at Walnut Coals. Let's go over the course here. It's a 72,77,250 yard par 71 with five par threes and four par fives. The courses used by

the corn fairy tour in the mid-Ox, like 2005 to 2007. When it was played, it was one of the most difficult courses on the corn fairy tour. I think one year 2005, it was the most difficult course. And in 2007, I think it had eight of the 40 most difficult holes on the corn fairy tour for the year. Now, does that translate into it being difficult for the PGA tour players 20 years later? I don't know. We'll have to see. But just talking a little bit more about the course. The five par threes range from like 185 to 245. These will be difficult, especially if the wind blows. When it comes to the four par fives, there's three of them are under like 540, like 535, 540, 530. Around there is where three of them stand. There's one over a five 50. So I do expect these to be very,

very scoreable this week, especially when you take into account that the course is about 2000 feet above sea level. So that 7,250 yard yard is going to be cut probably under 7,000 yards when you take into account the elevation. Now off to T golfers will see very wide fairways. Some up to 40 yards wide on some holes. Now golfers must hit the fairway. As the rough around the fairways, what I'm hearing could be six and a half inches. I'm hearing six and a half inch rough around here, which is not something we see very often on the PGA tour. There's also penal fairway bunkers that line the fairway landing areas. Now with the elevation and the fact that the fairways must be hit, I think it's possible that we see a lot of people club down here. We'll see, I don't know

what the strategy is. I'm sure there's going to be some guys trying to pound it out there, but I think for the most part, hitting it into these fairways is going to be such an important role because you know, it's six inch rough. I don't care how wispy it is. It's going to be very, very difficult to control your distances. And if it's thick, I mean, we've seen a lot of rain in the mid-Atlantic area where I am. And this is about 300 yards, 300 miles south of where I am right now. If they've had as much rain as we've had here in the last month, you would think that it's going to be lush and thick. That's what I would think because it has rained a bunch in my area. And this is only a little bit, it's only about 300 miles wet. Now on approach shots, golfers are going to see large bent grass poa blended greens. Waters on play on about five holes. The greens may be large, but they're heavily sloped and undulated. So golfers will have small areas to hit their approaches

to give themselves a realistic birdy chance. Looking at the whole length, to me, it looks like we'll see seven to eight approaches from 200 plus, around two from 175 to 200, three from 150 to 175, and four from under 150 yards is what I'm looking at. So 175 to 200, 175 to above, you're looking at close to 10 shots for the round, maybe even more. Now, Spencer, what are you looking for in golfers? Is there a specific strategy that you have when you get to a course where no one's really seen before? I think you broke that down very well kind of for what's needed at the very core of that answer. The difficult part of this conversation always lies when we do not have stats. Like anybody who tuned into the show when I came on a couple of weeks ago, well, no, I'm very data heavy in my approach of how I try to break down these courses and everything is extrapolated out to try to

project the venue that we have on hand. And a lot of times it's easy to figure out what that looks like from a weighted stroke scheme total perspective. We can dive into historical data that can stretch for a really long amount of time. I only use for the for the majority of these tournaments between three and five years because I do think there's a lot of changes that get made to these venues. And I'm always trying to be cognizant of that fact. But it is challenging that when you get one of these courses where you do not have the data to be able to pull from, you kind of mentioned it with the Cornberry versus PGA tour aspect of it. How similar does this play to the Cornberry tour? How much better are these PGA tour players in being able to get around some of these issues? And I think that's what's tough at the very surface level of that answer. So like the number one thing that I try to do is not over project on areas that are going to be either hearsay in the process or completely pulled out of the air that I think something is going to happen. Like I can

look at this course and I can see that the front nine sits on this former farmland. You do get a little bit more wide open of feel off the tee on those holes. The one thing I will note to that is Nicholas has done his part by positioning bunkers to attack tendencies of where good drivers of the ball end up missing. And the secondary factor that you talked about Kenny is this really thick rough. So there's still that penal nature that comes into play on the front nine. I think the back nine is where it gets a little bit more complicated for everybody though. Wines through words streams mountains. Lots of lots of lots of carries. You got a lot of approach shots where you're carrying you have to carry over a hazard carry over water. There's a bunch of those. Correct. And there's like this shrinking landing area zone that you just talked about where players can feel claustrophobic. Nicholas said it himself like one of his goals during the back nine is to

make players feel like they were inside of a national forest. And that's kind of a court that he has executed very properly on this course. And a lot of those carries that you just discussed is what's going to make this very challenging like I think this is a venue from what I can see at every single answer along the way where accuracy is going to be rewarded. I think there has to be general strategy of missing in the right area. And there is this devaluing of this typical bombers paradise that you might find on these other similarly elevated courses worldwide. It's it's all of that that we've discussed water bunkers everything that's trying to either shortside you or to get you to miss a green and to make this more complicated. So you know when I built my model this week like I use seven categories weighted strokes game total which is just that rebuilding of everything that I've talked about. And if Mike if you could put that up on the screen I'll go

through these categories for everybody to be able to see what they are. But 30% of my weight goes into the weighted strokes game total. So that's just a recapselation of what to expect from Walnut Cove. Weighted strokes game total over the last 24 rounds is the same exact answer as before but it's just done through 24 rounds. So the 30% weight that you see here is going to put you in a spot where this is a two year running model. This answer here for 10% is just the last 24 rounds. And a lot of the things from there are kind of just answers that we either one know to be true about this course there is a little bit of this higher elevation. These are going to be difficult fairways to hit hard greens and regulation. We know we need to have sand saves. You know you need to put on these bent poa mixes. A lot of that is very simplistic for what we see on the course. Weighted recent T-degree. Same answer as this last 24 rounds just looking at the T-degree and removing putting

suspected ball striking long term perspective how somebody ball strikes. So like a lot of these answers well like we're not getting into the midi gritty of what actually went into some of these at the core even though like something like expected ball striking is very easy to understand. I'm looking for ball strikers off the tee approach like those are the two areas there but I'm taking your very generic blueprint of golfer's either through a short term duration or a long term duration on these categories that are striking the ball that should fit a course like Walnut Cove. And then here on the average to high elevation and the difficult fairways in this I'm kind of then reprojecting statistics that are a lot more geared towards specifically what I believe this course to be. And you can see there's only a 20% weight there. Weighted scoring takes a little bit of everything that's going to look at your weighted par three. It's going to look at all the par fours. It's going to look at the par fives and it's going to see how these players perform on similar situations when the demand as you talked about Kenny one of the things that I looked at in my

model this week was approach play from 150 plus yards. So I went even 25 yards shorter than you did but I went all the way up through the gauntlet there to try to figure out every single approach number I could from that range and you merge all of that together at the very beginning of the sheet here. 70% of that weight is the statistical analysis I just talked about. No course history for me to be able to weigh so we remove that entirely. And then the weight of last five to 10 is nothing more than how players have played over their last five to 10 tournaments or the last five to 10 tournaments to play here. This would be the average finished position we've seen from those players on the board. I did weigh it a lot more towards the recent stretch here of the FedEx Cup playoffs. I think these are the players that are naturally kind of the better ones to begin with. And there's a little bit more form of these guys playing at a higher level than what we've seen from some of them on the corn fairy tour. But yeah, I mean that's how I broke down my model this week. It's not necessarily

a perfect science at the end of the day because we do not have data to be able to cleanly pull in from but you will notice even with the way that I built it. I mean, Rasmus Hoigard is the one really big outlier on that sheet for me. Always is kind of the case for me when I start negating distance off the tee and I'm looking for more accuracy. He always seems to go in the other direction and he's a very hit and miscommodity in my model. I'm right sometimes and I'm wrong sometimes. So like I would take that number with the grain assault, but I do think you see a lot of standard expected trends for the most part of Coivin number one little bit low on the market than Bridgeman, but he's inside the top seven. Like I do think this model at its core makes some sense. I was kind of just trying to find a player type and mixing some long-term data into it. It sounds good. I mean, yeah, I mean lots of knowledge right there for the people listening. I mean, for me, it's just, you know, I think it's going to be a second shot course. Any cop courses that you're looking at for me, I'm thinking

like, dear run without the elevation, maybe the rocket, you know, something like that where I could see similarities in the course. What would it be? Do you have any courses that you're looking at? I think those two are good. I mean, for better or for worse on this, I did look at some Nicholas properties. Like something like Mirfield is not exactly the same outlook of it, but I think it's a course where you do need to strategically move your way around it. Nicholas has a very consistent design where he never wants to give anybody a walk in the park. There's always undulation on greens and there's these multiple tiered perspectives and it's, how do I add a bunker to create a headache off the teeth? How do I add water to create a headache on the approach shot? How do I make shots funnel off the green? So players have to find their way to scramble and get up and down and one of the things that I believe that I noticed, whether or not it ends up coming

to fruition, I guess we will see, but because we have so many long iron shots from 150 plus yards, I weighed a little bit more putting from 15 plus feet this week. I was trying to find golfer's that are not going to be able to stick it as close to the hole as they normally would and they're going to either have to lag put it up or golfer's that have the ability to bomb one in from 20 plus feet and that's not something I typically do Kenny. Like at the end of the day, I'm always trying to find ball striking and the weights that I put into putting are probably less than the majority of people, although I give that answer with the understanding that I think over the last couple of years, that ball striking answer has really become pronounced for a lot of people who build models and people kind of realize that the ebbs and flows with putting can come and go from round to round, but I probably definitely have more putting this week than a normal person does just because I think it's important of how do you scramble, how do you lag put, how do you actually produce from 15 plus feet and how do you perform on similar green complexes? That's kind of for me always the

number one putting statistic that I like to look at is give me the baseline putting stats that somebody has over a two year perspective on any green complex and then give me a breakdown of how a golfer performs specifically on similar greens and sometimes you can merge and mold those two stats together and find high end ball striking with an increase in projected putting and that's how I try to find these golfer's who win the tournament when we start talking about outright bets.

All right, so we're back with the draft king's betting segment for this week. I got a few on my card. A couple of things like if you look at the winners from the fall swing from the first event after the Torch Championship in the last 16 years, this is from Steve Bampert's article. 12 of the 16 winners of the first event after the Torch Championship have been ranked inside the top 90 in the World Golf rankings. So my first bet for this week is someone who fits that narrative. It's going to be Jacob Bridgman. I got him 25 to 1 with three places. He finished a year very strong with a 9th of the BMW and a 4th at Eastwick. His numbers aren't that great for a golfer. This high up on the odds board when it comes to stats. But I feel like he's coming in extremely confident with those finishes during the playoffs and the fact that he made the president's cup team. You don't you don't rely on vibes too often, right? When it comes to golf betting, right? If you look at the stats,

you look at the data, you look at how guys have been playing here recently. But you know, when it comes to vibes, I sort of like Jacob Bridgman. It's the first event of the fall sling. We don't know that much about the course. I'm going to go with Jacob Bridgman. I do like him this week. Next, it's going to be real. It's at 2nd. 33 to 1 with eight places. Finished 9th at the John Deere Classic, which I think is a solid comp course. Gamed with Irons and Ball Striking in seven of his last eight events. Third in Stroke's Game Part three scoring on the last 24 rounds in this field. One of the best at giving himself scoring opportunities on approaches from 175 to 200 and 200 plus, especially in his last 24 rounds. Next, it's going to be Blade's Brown. 35 to 1 with eight places each way. It comes into this event with five top 15s in his last seven PGA Tour events

played. He comes in fourth overall in my model in the last 24 rounds. He's fourth in this field in Stroke's Game approach. He's second in Stroke's Game Ball Striking. 33rd in Driving Accuracy is very good from 150 to 200 and above average from 200 plus. He also has plutted well on bent in the past. The kid will be a stud and it's very easy to see this week maybe him getting his first win. Next, it's going to be Ben Coles 5, 45 to 1 with eight places. Coles comes in at number one in my model and it isn't really even close. Again, I'm a recent form guy and I know we've had a little bit of a break for two weeks. I don't know. Some of these have been sort of a month but still, I still like to look more at recent form and see how they've been playing and how they've been striking the ball. He's eighth in approach. Fourth in ball striking. Fifth in putting. Fourth in birdie or better. First in Driving Accuracy. First in par three scoring. Third in overall

proximity from over 200 yards all in the last 24 rounds in this field. Now, you won on the contrary tour a couple months ago and another win this week, I would not be shocked. Lastly, we're going a chairman Mao. Chairman William Mao. Eight in a one eight places. Outside of the window Mao's Iron Game was a leap the last couple of months last season. He's also very good from 200 plus. Definitely a flyer in my book and I'm going to take the risk at eight in a one with eight places. So my five bet for this week is going to be Jake Bridgman, 25 to 1 with three places. Rio hits a two day. 33 to 1 with eight places. Blades ground. 35 to 1 with eight places. I just lost my right bet. The next one was going to be Ben Coles. Five, 45 to 1, eight places and chairman Mao. Eight to 1, eight places. What do you got this week there? The center. So I'm going to end up following you on the Ben Coles play. When I was building my model

this week, I didn't get to him number one the way that you did. He ended up finishing number three for me. When we talk about a golfer that's over 50 to 1, that's quite the outlier. If I put this in order in my model, just talking about the golfer is here, Coivin 1, Ben James 2, Ben Coles 3, what you're going to notice up until I have Christopher Ventura is not right, but we'll stop it there with Nakajima. You have a lot of shop around, find the best numbers you can. A lot of golfer is that or sub 30 to 1 with the way I built my model. You have this outlier there with Ben Coles at 55 to 1. And statistically, you talked about it. Number one player in my model over the last 24 rounds. What I like about that is whether or not the short-term form looks good, he also has the long-term data that's fitting to. He's inside the top five there. I was waiting for that number to potentially drift a little bit before I ended up making that bet, but I think Coles is going to inevitably end up making the card. I come here today with two names that are on my sheet right now. I took Ben James. I got him at 30 to 1. Number one player in my model and weighted strokes came total. So that's

walnut, Coivin. It's very core of what I think. As everybody can see here, it's one's in twos across the board for a young golfer, where he doesn't necessarily fit that threshold that you talked about, Kenny, of a top 90 golfer in the world. But I'm hoping for somebody like him that the youth and the age is kind of one of those outliers to where when we look at this next time in a year from now, this could very well be a top 25 or 30 golfer in the world and maybe even pushing higher than that. We have seen these first tournaments of the year historically been breakout spots for golfer's that are either kind of been around for a while or golfer's that are up and coming. I kind of think of saw hit the gala a handful of years ago. That was one of the outrights I hit the start the year when that tournament was, I believe it was called the Fortinet at the time. It's been the Fortinet. It's been the safe way. It's been everything under the sun throughout the duration when they had it. But a lot of what you're looking for are these golfer's that are trending towards something that is bigger than what they've produced. And when the categories

start pushing in a direction where you're seeing an increase in certain areas, like so for somebody like Ben James, 47th in my model and strokes gained around the green from a short term sample size that I'm using. But when I can get them up to 20 second for weighted around the green, those are kind of the areas that I'm looking at this course might be a little bit better than we have seen for him even historically. Any on golfer that possesses a big upside. My long shot that I'm taking is Christophe Ventura. I got him at 80 to one. He's fallen to 70. A golfer for me, top 25 across the board for every single statistical category that I weighed. And there is a strong argument to be made that maybe he becomes a better DFS play. Maybe he's a better top 20 play than anything else. But it's a number grab here at 80 to one. I will probably trickle that out into a top 20 bed. I will probably try to find different ways to get exposure to him in matchups. I'm going to very heavily have him for DFS contest. I'll sort this by just differences in the DFS market. Like you'll see

here that Davis Chat filled funny enough. Not to get to the bottom of the board. But for just talking about values on this, Davis Chatfield was the name that I mentioned the last time I was on. I believe for the three I'm open there. We got that 16th place finished from him. And I think it's a golfer that fits this course really nicely. But go down a couple spots here to Christophe Ventura. You kind of see where the value is just setting into play with him. So I'm going to have a lot of exposure to him this week across the board. Haven't run numbers yet for matchups. It's something that I'm going to do when we jump off air. But consider Ventura and Ben James, the two outrights with potential options of Ben Coles who I will probably add. And then the one I'd like to ask you about, see if you have any interest on him. I was kind of interested to see how much my model liked them this week. Kevin, you did you have any takes on Kevin you? He's inside the top 10 in my model. So he's definitely someone that I was eyeing on probably in DFS. Might be the better way to play him. I kind of wrote into my discord chat that Kevin, you

and Doug, give a couple spots above him. I don't know if I trust their ability to win golf tournaments. And that's the problem I'm having getting to them in the outright market. Maybe a top 20, maybe DFS is the better way to go. But I got a question. I got a question for you, the safety ranking that you have in your model. What does that entail? I would like to know because I feel like that's something that I could use for cash. So for me safety, it changes every single week. So when you look here at the statistical analysis, which is just be the stats, this would be the weighted form that we talk about. There's usually a category in between these two that would also show course history. So this 70, 30 split that I have would be rearranged. So it would be putting a lot more weight on just specifically how somebody plays at the course and how somebody's been playing leading into the tournament. So like this is a very interactive model. If anybody goes to file, make a copy, you can

call it whatever you want to call it. It will put a copy on your own thing of it. But like I would go through and just re-way this. And so now all of a sudden you'll see that number become that. So for me, it was just a 70, 30 split this week where I looked at recent form. A lot of times it's a lot more geared towards what the course history would be included in this. This is a very simplistic model just because we don't necessarily have a bunch of form leading into this either with the layoff. But it's always going to me. Safety is looking specifically at course history, current form. Upside is always looking specifically at how does a statistical profile fit for this player. If you remove everything of what they're bringing to the mix from their course history and everything that they're bringing to the mix from a statistical perspective or I'm not sorry from a current form perspective from it. It's only going to look at the statistics. So that's kind of how I built it for me. Those are the three tiers of what I'm trying to do. And

when you see these differences, Kevin, you like you talked about that big jump that you see is for safety. That's kind of a DFS answer. It's somebody that you want to look at for top 20. And that's kind of how I try to start separating these bets of where do you see the upside increases in the model. And where do you see some of these guys that are safer targets that you want to back inside the top 20, 30 or 40? That sounds great, man. I definitely have to start looking at your side more so I can use that because I think that would help me a lot in cash. One thing I did add Ventura 60 to one with eight places after you talked about them because he was someone that was floating that I was thinking about and I had a little bit of room left on my call. So I'm going to go ahead and add him as well. All right. So let's get to DFS blood sweat and tiers for this week. We have this 10k range. It's Doug Gim all the way up to Doug Kim, Jacob Richmond and Jackson Koywood. How are you going about this 10k range this week? I'd like to see where ownership lands. I think that these are three very natural places to try to

find yourself. If you just look in my model and you look at what the recent form has been from them, I mean, we don't have anything outside of the top 31 from any of them since the rocket classic. And you know, you take somebody like Bridgman who you like this week, third in my model for weighted strokes game total. That's kind of an upside number that's not necessarily going to show there just because the recent T-degree kind of tanked it a little bit further. But I think these are honestly three options that you can consider. And I know that's not a fun answer to come onto the show without a solidified take. But at the end of the day here, we still have 48 plus hours to be able to make a decision. And I don't think any of these guys naturally are removable candidates at the very bare minimum of this. I think ownership's going to play a very big point to this. And like the one thing I would like to tell people, I know this has been a TAMBO thing for years. And I'm sure you've heard this a million times, Kenny, when he used to do this show. And TAMBO is correct on this answer. It's not necessarily who you're playing. It's how you play them. And that

is actually 100% correct. I think far too often people hear that a player is really popular. And this is not football at the end of the day. There's more volatility. And there are more decisions that need to get made here and there and contest selections, always going to come into play. But in a vacuum here, Kenny, like three top 10 players in different iterations of the market, specifically in safety when all three are inside the top six here for $10,000 plus dollar golfers. I haven't removed any of them yet. I'd like to see where ownership lands. I would probably rank them if I had to probably in the order that we see them right now, just because like regardless of however much my model likes Doug Gim. Doug Gim, he is the the Gim Reaper. He is somebody who seems to burn more lineups of mine than I know what to do with what I would like to see from Doug Gim for anybody who is interested in playing him. Let's see where the ownership lands. If this can be a contrarian, Doug Gim, because people see a $10,000 price tag and don't want to get there,

there's a lot more reasons to be bullish than if Doug Gim is the most popular player on the board somehow at $10,000. Let's see where the ownership ends up landing. That's something that I always add to my model on Tuesday once we get a little bit more information. But I think you have three guys at least for me that none of them have been removed yet. Yeah, I agree. I think you play Doug if he's going to be lower on because I mean, the thing is he has been playing very good golf here recently. He's had some good finishes. I've bet him a few times. He's got placements for me. I like him. But my first cash game cornerstone is going to be Jacob Richmond. I talked about him on the betting segment. I just got a feeling. I think the vibes are high with him. I like his, the way he finished up his season with a couple of top 10s in playoff events against the big boys. He's got the confidence coming in. He knows he's playing the president's cup next week. It just reminds me a little bit of Ben Griffith last year at the event that he won

towards the end of the fall swing where he just saw him. He was coming in looking good. You could tell that he was probably one of the top two best players in the field. He had all the momentum. He was feeling good about himself. He went out there and took it down. I actually had that bet last year. I also missed Silverado. Now it's going to be in the regular season is what I hear. Because I took down the $100 single injury last year at the GP at Silverado. So I sort of missed that. But maybe it's a weak thing. Maybe this is just the week where we can get something done. But Jacob Richmond is going to be my first cash game cornerstone. If we move down to the 9K range, I'm not the biggest fan. So it's very, very possible that I just start with those three guys up top in the 10K range and not play too many 9K guys. Now my hustler play of the week might hit the music. It's actually pretty high this week. It is Rasmus Hoygum at what is the $9800.

The reason I'm picking him is because if you look at his numbers and you look at his stats, most people are going to be looking at places where it's only PGA 4 stuff. And he looks horrible. I think he's ranked 83rd in my model out of 130 plus golfers this week in the last 24 rounds. But if you watch the Irish Open last week, Rasmus was looking really strong, especially the first three rounds. One of the best iron players in the field, the first three rounds. And his final round was a little bit disappointing because if you look at his finishes here in the last two, three months, he's been a Sunday warrior. He has just been crushing Sundays both on the European tour and when he makes it on the weekends here, I think his ownership is going to be very, very, very long. I do not see him getting into double digits. And I think he can make for a

nice swing leverage play, G2B play in this price range in the 9K. I think he's going to be single as you know, because people will look at his finish. I think he ended up finishing 31st. Going into the Irish Open, final round. I think he was 6th or 7th. Going into the final round. And his final round was an outlier compared to what his final rounds have been. So I'm going to go take a little bit of a risk. I'll probably play him in one lineup as a leverage play. I don't really like the other guys. Davis Thompson is looking like going to be very, very popular. He's been playing well. I know he comes up highly in your model. In my model, he comes up second behind Ben Coles. But I can't play a chalk, David Thompson ever. I can't. I can't do it. I won't do it. Even though he looks like everything looks like it should be good to go. If he's 18% owned or more,

I mean, I can't do it with David Thompson. So that's going to be a fade for me because I think he's going to be one of the more highly owned golfers in this field. We'll see. If stuff shifts, I can definitely go back on. If he's 13, 12%. And people are thinking like I'm thinking, then maybe it's something to think about. But I think he's going to be 18 plus. He's going to be one of the top five highest home golfers in this field. So I'm out on Davis Thompson. Kevin, you're never got that I would look at down here in the lower 9K range. Like you were talking about, he's just been, he's just been a birdie machine here recently. Comes in highly in my model, scoring opportunities from 175 to 200. He's top 10. He's top 30 and scoring opportunities from 200 plus. So I do like him. Ticks a little bit away from his, his his game because he's so good off the tee. But we don't know really. I think it's not going

to be that important. I think people are going to club down. But you know, you don't really know. So it could be an advantage for him too. So we'll see. Who do you like in a night game? I think my favorite player would be Ben James. It's somebody that I'm going to try to get a lot of exposure to across the board. You know, I think you brought up a unique take there Kenny with the Rasmus Huygarde thing. Like I'm not necessarily getting to Rasmus Huygarde this week. But where you are correct, 100% is he's going to be a low own golfer who is a good, long iron player. And it's kind of like we've talked about at the very beginning of the show here when we were discussing the course. There's so many viewpoints that we can have about this venue of how it's going to play. And sometimes it doesn't go exactly the way that you think. And if it if distance for any reason ends up playing a bigger factor or you know, even if you look at Huygarde, some of these difficult fairway accuracy courses, what you'll notice from him is he jumps from 80, we'll use the driving accuracy number. That's probably a better one. 100 in second in my model. But when you put difficult

fairways, I think some of that club down answer that you talked about kind of starts coming into play there at 40 is so, you know, there are different ways to get from start to finish on this. I do tend to agree with you. This range in general is not necessarily one that I am gravitating towards, trying to rush myself to Ben James would probably be the one named there that you would be my favorite. I'd like to see where ownership lands on Davis Thompson. I'm higher on him than you are. I would just like to make sure that he's second in my model. He is number two. I just it's just a thing locked in my brain. If I say Davis Thompson's going to be one of the top five most old, I can't do it. So, and I mean, that's the Doug Kim conversation that I kind of try to tell myself every single week. So, when I run my model, they're like, if you look at the categories here, model versus betting is just where my model ranks somebody versus their betting price compared to the field model versus DK difference. So, he has zero means that he's priced exactly where he should be. What you do not

want is when ownership enters the mix here and this number to turn negative. If this number turns negative, this is where some of these guys that my model likes start becoming a little bit more of a fadible commodity. So, like where this ownership percentage ends up landing is going to be a really big indicator of how much playability there is in my model and then one of the factors. If they join your, you have a discord, right, or a paint job. Yeah, you can you can join my discord actually, Kenny, for I have a free portion of it. What you have to do, we did it just to remove scamming. That was, there were people that were jumping in that had nefarious ideas of trying to scam people. So, we had to lock it up for anybody to be able to get in there freely at this point. But if you go to my website, toffsports.club, you can sign up for a free players club membership. You just go to the account tab and you can link your discord channel to get full access to the players club. And I'm in this Kenny 24-7. Like I don't want to

get these models. Do you get these models that were seen? You do not get the model. You get insights into different takes and bets and things. You don't get the entire landscape of what's being done. That is behind the paywall and the VIP section or the high roller section. But you do get the ability and I really want to stress this as I come on this show Kenny. Like, I've never been a person to try to self promote. I've never been a person to try to come on and and sell a package. If money was not an object and I was just a billionaire, I'm you on must sitting here. I would love to give this model away for every single person and come on this show and just talk about it and be the Robin Hood of just giving things away. But what you can do is is the players club section. I tell people all the time, jump in there. I'm always there to answer questions. This is what I do for a living. This is what I am passionate about. I am very fortunate to be able every single week to make models and have conversations and to be able to do shows like

yours with somebody as big as you are in the space and be able to talk about golf. This is something that when I started eight years ago, it was a really long process to get here to be able to make this a living and yeah, sure, selling the product is great, but it's so beyond that. Like, I would love people to jump in and just check out the players club. Check out what it has to offer. Fire off questions. I'm not going to sit there and not answer questions. Like, I'm there for a reason to help. Like at the end of the day, I want people to win money. And if you win money and you find the product to be useful and you end up winning money because of the product, like sign up for it and and greatly appreciate any of the support I get. But yeah, it's not a financial thing at the end of the day, Kenny. Like, I would love for people to just check out the website and be able to see all the updates and one of the updates that people get also throughout the week that I've been incorporating a little bit more throughout the last year is I love adding in sharp movements. So what I mean by sharp movement is I will take and I will leave it nameless for this, but I will take four or five of

the sharpest books in the industry and I will take outright movements from those books over the 24, 48 hours leading into the tournament on Thursday. And what you start noticing is, is there are outliers on both ends of the spectrum. You have golfers that start drifting up the board where all the square money is entering on them and the number is drifting up even though they're super popular. So like for Davis Thompson, for example, what you don't want to see, if we take a baseline blueprint of what his price is out there, he's probably, what are we looking at? 25 to 28 to one. What you would not want to see with Davis Thompson is in be 22% on this board, a top five on golfer. And now all of a sudden at these sharp books, he's gone from 25 to one to 32 to one. Like, you're kind of seeing where the square money's coming in. And that's something that I highlight every single week. I make sure that everybody has the ability to see where some of that movement's occurring. And like those are like the things past a Monday breakdown of the

model that I will continue adding. And for a name like Davis Thompson, he can become stronger if the numbers stay flat or he can become weaker if ownership goes higher. And we see the numbers moving the wrong direction. So just something to always keep in mind, like we're 48 plus hours away from T off. Like, numbers say what they say in the model, but ownership and movement and all of those factors still come into play. That sounds great. Let's move on into the anything else in the night. Can't range or ready to move to eight. No, I think that's probably it for me. Like, I didn't see a ton either myself that I was running to. My model thought Naka Jima was fairly price. I don't like that negative upside number. Like to see where the ownership lands. Everybody else was kind of negative for the most part though. Wait, I don't know if you would be, I don't even realize he was that he was up there in a night. K-rate. That's expensive. Yeah, it's pretty high up there for him. Let's go to this 8k range. My first, my second cash game cornerstone is going to be

played Brown. Again, going with a lot of my bets for it. Like I said, five of his last seven starts. He's finished in the top 15. Iron game ball striking has been a lead. This guy's going to be a stud. He's going to win on the PGA tour. I think the upside is there even with the youth that he has. I think he's only missed one or two cuts in the last 10 pro vets. So there's a little bit of the safety there as well. The thing I like about these newer guys is they are, there's new disadvantage with course history. Everyone's on the same level when it comes to, basically, we don't know what they do in their private time going on here. Maybe they've played it before, but from a tournament perspective, they're all on the same level. They're all learning the course right now as we speak on Monday and Tuesday. I think that gives him a little bit more of an edge, typically, then it would be the course that everyone's played a bunch. They know all the nuances, they know all the breaks, they know where to miss everything like that because they've played it

five, six, seven, eight times in the last 10 years. Now with these young guys, I think it's a little bit more of a level playing field with them. My third cash game cornerstone is going to be real. It hits it sooner. Again, this game, game with his approaches, I think, in seven of his last eight, you know, had that top 10 at the John Deere Classic. I like his game. I like where it's at. I mean, his ball striking is inside the top 25 in this field in the last 24 rounds. Again, very, very good long irons, especially giving himself scoring opportunities. I know the rabbit hole has these tools where scoring opportunities percentage from, you know, every different proximity range. From 175 to 200, he's 12th in this field from 200 plus he's six in this field. So I do like hit that tune and he's going to be my third cash game cornerstone. You know, I know, again,

not the biggest fan of too many other people. I'm looking at the Zedan Hoot. Again, I know he's not going to be too long, but the driver, I think people are going to club down, you know, if the greens, if people, if he gets windy, he gets the screens. I don't know. It's just a gut feeling for me. He's got to be happy that he's on the president's cup team. He wants to show people he I'm sure he's been hearing the talk, right? These guys aren't like death, right? They know that people are like, well, already been saying like, why the fuck did he pick, he'll probably pick Beseedman, right? So he's got a little chip on his shoulder. I know, you know, a lot of, when it comes to narratives, I like narratives. I like to play them. This is one that I'll play. I think he might be trying to show off a little bit as he gets to next week, give me a little Beseedan Hoot and GPPs. I mean, I kind of like we said at the beginning, Kenny, like this is a better course for him than what we're going to see at Medin in a week from now. He was a top 15 player in my model and all iterations of how I built it. I think he's going to be sharp in the market this

week. We'll see if that ends up coming to fruition. I haven't run those numbers yet, but Beseedan, out super, those are two names I'm going to get to. I think HitSatSuName makes a lot of sense for all the reasons you just talked about. I have seen him in any of the head-to-head matchups that we would like to speak of. He has become a massive favorite against a lot of the guys in this range. And that's usually a good indicator that he's probably going to be a steady mover up my model over the next couple of days. Like Blades Brown, the way that you said, the one outlier that I seem to like more than what my model says here would be JT Postin. He has, he's familiar with the area. It's a course that he plays all the time. And I understand that the weighted proximity numbers are absolutely horrific. He's 93rd in my model and a lot of that stems from just being bad across the board with it. But like the two categories that I just see myself continuing to look at are when there's heart approach and hard GIRs to hit. Because now all of a sudden you talk about a top 10 golfer in those areas. And he has marks in the model, top 25 accuracy player,

you know, top 25 for that category there. There are areas to be optimistic on it. I don't know how much I'm going to get to him necessarily. But that's like one of the rare names. It's very, very, very, very rare Kenny for me to jump on a show and not go look at the difference in my model and kind of just say eliminate because it's negative. That's one of the rare spots where I think there's reasons to be optimistic about Postin with the way that he fits this course. But at least for the sake of this conversation probably Brown super bazaid and how it would be my three favorite with a little bit of a sprinkle that I will put on post in this week. So I was going to want you to go on to the 7k range. Go ahead. I love Ben Coles. I like to see where ownership lands with him. As I said at the beginning, a player that just absolutely broke my model this week from start to finish. Rico Hoey graded graded very well for me at 7,700 top 25 in all aspects of the model when you see the 23rd

upside in 12 safety. It's one of those golfer that I would like to see where ownership ends up landing on him for large field GPP contest. I don't love the negative trajectory that comes into play. That's kind of more of like cash gain cornerstone for Rico Hoey, which is a weird answer to give for somebody who's not necessarily safe weekend and week out. But my model does seem to like him for safety this week. I liked Grio. I don't know if you have any thoughts on Grio Kenny. My model never seems too like Grio. And for him to be top 10 for upside the safety number leaves a lot to be concerned. It's not a golfer that I would necessarily be playing in cash gain builds or anything of that nature. But he's in my cash game. Why not right? Well, I will see. Statistically, I love him. Like he's a golfer that I love him for a top 10 bet. Like that's probably how I would use him. And maybe there's a middle somewhere that ends up coming into play. But recent form as we've talked about with a lot of these players. Number two in my model.

The recent T to green eighth and the expected ball striking 21st. He kind of. Him and Coles were probably the two most surprising outputs that I had in my sheet this week because those are not two names that my model seems to like very often. I can come on any show Kenny. And my model can tell you why it loves Davis Thompson. And we can sit there on Friday. And if we did a show together, I could tell you why did I play Davis Thompson at 17% ownership for all the reasons that you've said of why he blows things up. This is the exact opposite with Grio and Coles. It's two guys that my model never seems to like. And there's upside numbers inside of the top 10 for both of them. So I will say this Kenny like I don't think 30 is very low from a safety number in theory. I mean, even if you put him 30th in my model, you'll still see him be a value there. He gets a little bit worse in the betting market if that was the number that you got for him. But he's still technically a value even on of that 30 safety mark, which is not even where I have it.

So a 19 spot difference at $7,400 bucks is a value that I see this week. Yeah, I like Grio. Grio, I mean, my last cash game cornerstone is going to be Ben Coles. So they're not shocking right there. Again, four guys I've been on number one in my model. The guys just been a model darling and numbers speak for themselves and he's been playing good calls. So the cash game cornerstones for this week are going to be Jacob Richmond at 10,200 I think. Yeah, bridgeman 10,300 blades at 8800 hits a 2,885 hundred Ben Coles at 7,700. I'm finishing out those that this lineup right now with Grio and what's his name Ventura. It was either Ventura or Mau and I think Ventura is a little bit safer after the conversations we've had earlier in the show. So I switched from Mau to Ventura on that one. So that's going to be what I have other guys that I think I could play in this 7K range of

the Billy Horshaw at $7,600. Surprisingly, he's been playing pretty steady good golf here recently. I think he's 11th in my model as I am game has been very, very strong. He's been making a lot of birdies fairly accurate off the tee above average from 200 plus. So I'll take a look at Billy Horshaw at 70s and $600. We Hodges is someone that I'll take a peek at. I know you like Lee this week. My model seems to love him upside quite a bit. He's always one of those most unique commodities that I have where he's like this top 15 upside player and outside the top 50 safety name. Weighted strokes gain total. My model seems to fall in love with every single week and the expected ball striking has him top 10. The statistical numbers behind him really seem to like him. For whatever that's worth, I give Billy Hodges answers a lot and sometimes it works and sometimes

it doesn't. But I do think there's upside to be found within this week. Yeah Hodges and then I like William Mount down there with Ventura at 71. Of course I've met him talked about him during the beddich second. Do you like him to celebrate? You already went over it. Would you like a dive? Ventura would be the one that I most actively trying to get to. I think when you talk about your cash king cornerstones that you had, I mean look, it's six players for me that are inside of the top 30 of my safety model. That's hard to do. That's the starter of that. And the second part of that answer is even with somebody like Grio, there's upside to be found on a name like that where I think all of that makes logical sense. I mean, I think it's Grio Hashmates seven was last eight cuts to end last season. Correct. Correct. I mean, that's all things to like on that. The only other name I would throw out there. I think Chandler Phillips is interesting. I have been betting him almost every single week to make the cut. Did not get a successful result at the rocket classic,

but got it at the three. I'm open got it at the wind. I believe. I think those are the three that I've done it for. So two out of the three times, we keep seeing the market put him at like plus 100 to make the cut during a lot of these tournaments. He's consistently top 30 of my model in all iterations of how I build it. And it doesn't seem like any publicity or popularity ever goes in his direction, no matter what he keeps providing. So I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Who is this Chandler Phillips. They're at 7100. And echoed. I all throw echoed out there too. I think that's another name where I don't know what the upside is on him. Like I think for me, echoed is one of those names where I don't know what a top 40 number would look like for him. And maybe this is not a GPP play at the end of the day. But I think echoed has some safety there at 7200 that plays in different iterations of the market. Let's move to the 6K range. The one guy that stuck out to me was Joel Dama.

With Joel Dana here. I think he's like six in my model when it comes to the last 24 rounds. His eyeing game has been really, really good making a ton of birdies. Extremely accurate off the tee. Very, very good with his long irons. Damon is one guy that I'll be focusing on. Another guy, old guy, Lucas Glover. Again, similar vein to Dom and Damon, who, you know, good iron play, great long iron play, good driving accuracy. Those two, those two are the ones that stuck out to me big time in the 6K range. Other guys that I might take little flyers on like Luke Lanton, David Chapfield of course. His numbers are looking good and he's always very, very good with with his driving accuracy. He's second in the field in driving accuracy. And I think he's second in the field in approach in the last 24 rounds. I just want to come to numbers. I mean, he's

looking pretty good for a 6K. God. Outside of that, once you get below that, it's looking a little rough. Who do you like in this 6K, man? Chapfield would be my favorite of the group. I sorted it in order on the screen. And I mean, you will see a very steep drop off that occurs inside of my model. You have Damon Domen, however we want to pronounce it inside of the top 30. You see Chapfield there inside of the top 20. There's no other name in my model that ends up cracking the top 40 for me. So I think you get volatility that starts coming into play. And you don't necessarily need to find yourself down there. It's not like we have a Scotty Schuffler in the field where we're going to be wanting to have a lot of exposure to this section. I think even if we build it aggressively at top in the $10,000 range, it's very easy to put a Damon or a Chapfield into a lineup if you do need to find yourself in the territory at $6,800. But for the most part, this is probably not a

section that I am actively trying to get myself into. If I do find myself down there, Chapfield Damon would be the two that I am most inclined to want to play. So I was going to do we miss anybody, anybody else catch your ad before we log off? Not really Kenny. I mean, I know we didn't talk about a whole of players from top to bottom, but I mean for the most part, not really. I always like Zach Bochew. Look, I don't know how many times I can do it with him and it never seems to work out. But a name that I never seen to think should be a $7,500 goal for outside of that, though, not really. I think we covered most of those names. And I'm sitting here scrolling through for anybody who does want to see where certain players rank inside the top 35 for me. But I think we did a pretty good job of going through that from top to bottom. All right, well, that sounds good. Why don't you tell them what they could find you and all that good stuff? So you can find me on x at t off sports. You can find me on my website that I talked about at
