Welcome to the Early Wedge Tuesday Best Bed Show.

0:25.8

I'm your host, Eric Cohen.

0:31.0

Listen, last week we gave out a bunch of picks and none of them were Scotty Sheffler on top.

0:31.8

Whoops.

0:38.4

In fact, in my storylines, didn't I say that we had to fade Scotty Sheffler because the tournament was overseas?

0:42.5

Can we just forget about that? But I got to point it out. I mean, we're honest on this show.

0:46.8

We have two weeks left in the PGA tour regular season and three weeks of the playoffs.

0:51.6

So we better hit some winners ASAP. Let's bring in the stars of the show right now.

1:11.1

Let's do it. We have, from the early edge, one of the best golf handicappers that I know, see Anjad. From CBS sports, one of the most entertaining golf writers, personalities that I know. It is Patrick McDonald. And then should I say, one of the most season, traveled, and also entertaining golf personalities that I know, Jason Sobel. Honored to be on with you guys once again. See what we're going to start with you. I mean, I said last week, Scotty Schaeffler, now we got to fade him onto the rest of the board. In hindsight, did we miss something or do we just get beaten by the best player in the world? And that was that. Well, I'm not sure if Sobel missed that fact that you called him seasoned, which of course is a synonym for old. So I don't know. You might take umbrage to that. Jason, do you have a response? I am two days away from a very big birthday milestone. So I am officially very, very old. Yes. Happy early 20th. Yeah. Oh, boy. Thanks for the invite. Times two. Listen, so here's the thing. One thing I'll pat myself on the back for, you know, I'll always pepper in patting myself on the back throughout an hour long show. So we're starting early. I've been betting that without Scotie Sheffler Market a lot. And it has actually paid off from. Remember Harris English and

2:04.8

without Scotty Market from some time ago. Like we've in, I almost hit Matt Fitzpatrick. Like,

2:10.2

I agreed with you, EC and the sentiment that like if it was really like true open conditions and it

2:15.7

was windy and rainy and all of those things, I don't know, maybe he wouldn't have won. But like it just looks like he's going to win everything. You know, so I just think the without market, this is a betting show. We just have to consider it, whether it's without the big four or without Scotty Schaeffler, he's too good. He's on autopilot. And it's just one of those things over four rounds. The guy on autopilot that's better than everybody else is probably, not definitely, but probably going to end up winning. Patrick, when you look at a tournament like this, you and Sia and Sobel, all of you guys have thrived in these weaker events this year, picking these random winners, the Joe Hithsmiths of the world, Carl Phillips,

2:52.4

that type of thing. Do you get excited for an event like this? Or are you just like, hey, it's

2:56.1

time for the playoffs. I'm ready. This is a good one. I think I get excited for all the full field

3:01.6

events, right? With the cut, you have so many different storylines. I feel like our show has

3:06.4

been pretty unanimous in saying signature

3:09.2

cuts, signature events with no cuts. I feel like they can be a little bit better. I like the Friday

3:14.8

sweat, which of course we get this week. And excuse me, TPC Twin Cities, although these guys

3:20.5

will probably get around 20 under, a lot of volatility with how much water there is, a lot of excitement down the stretch.

3:26.3

I think back to Scott Pierceley playing with one shoe and bogeying every single hole on the
