| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Early Wedge Best Bed Show. |
| 0:12.7 | I'm your host, E.C. |
| 0:14.0 | Glad to have you with us for the Charles Schwab Challenge. |
| 0:17.5 | But you know what? |
| 0:18.4 | We got some celebrating to do this week because our guy, Patrick |
| 0:22.8 | McDonald, nailed Wyndham Clark at, what, 60 to 1? Patrick, let's bring in the stars |
| 0:28.1 | the show. Yeah, Patrick Sobel, see you with us. Patrick will start with you. Congrats. That's a, |
| 0:33.5 | that's a big one there, 60 to 1 or so. Thank you thank you you know i just had to contribute to the team i |
| 0:39.3 | thought we'd be celebrating whatever this social calendar update for you is i'm on the edge of my seat |
| 0:45.5 | right now but i appreciate you guys letting me lead off the show here that's what what gave you |
| 0:51.2 | uh windham clark like why windham clark of all golfers guy and done anything |
| 0:56.0 | in a year and a half his iron play has been a lot better the the putter has been mad but he switched |
| 1:01.6 | his putters obviously said he added some length to it and that's kind of been the difference maker |
| 1:06.1 | there at tpc craig ranch but i think the moral this year kind of has, you know, you don't forget how to lose, right? Like JJ Spong got off to a bad start. He wins. Colomaricawa didn't really have a ton of form. He wins at Pebble Beach. So I was kind of just going down that line. And Wyndham Clark has always reminded me of kind of like a Max Homa, a Tony Fienow type, albeit with a major championship, |
| 1:29.3 | you know, someone who figures it out a little bit later, finishes his career with half a |
| 1:34.1 | dozen wins around that mark. And, you know, he got number four. Well, Patrick, I can confirm that |
| 1:39.6 | you cannot forget how to lose. That's my dating life on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. |
| 1:44.9 | More losing. I'm just going to say that. Sobel. All right. Let's talk about this week, |
| 1:49.6 | Charles Swab Challenge. And this is a long shot's paradise, isn't it? Six of the last seven |
| 1:56.5 | winners here, EC, have been 50 to one or longer coming into the week. That includes Ben Griffin, who was right around 50 or 60 to 1 last year, even though he was trending in the right direction. So good idea to look a little bit further. I don't know what it is about Colonial, maybe a shorter, tighter course, sort of levels of playing field. It comes down to, as I know you're going to talk about, a little bit of a putting contest this week. But I'm still looking at a couple guys in the top tier that I like, even though there is that trend of long shots at this one. I don't mind taking a few chances, but there's a couple guys in this top tier, especially one, who I really like this week. Interesting. All right. Well, if you either you can check out the BetMGM article that you wrote as I did this morning, or you can listen to the rest of the show, which is what we encourage. By the way, Patrick, last year on this show, you had Ben Griffin the single bullet outright. I think it was like 45 or 50 to 1. I had Ben Griffin in the without market. This was all your show last year for the Charles Robb Challenge. So the pressure is on. And I can confirm there's no single bullet no single bullet |
| 2:52.0 | yeah no single bullet i apologize you guys get a whole tour to the dfw area for patrick you'd never lose |
| 2:59.0 | honestly this tech listen we hit i hit gary woodland what 90 to one in the houston open patrick hits |
