| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Early Wedge Tuesday Best Bet Show. I am your host, E.C. So we're kind of kicking |
| 0:17.2 | ourselves in our early wedge group chat that none of us had tom kim as an outright last week |
| 0:21.9 | it's kind of an obvious choice and we missed it so hey we're going to do better this week there's a lot of |
| 0:27.6 | overlap so if you need to fight figure out who to bet we have it here let's bring in the stars of the show |
| 0:33.4 | we have patrick we have see ya and with sobel on the injured list, we have Josh sitting in with us for the whole show. |
| 0:41.1 | All right, Patrick, I'm going to start with you. |
| 0:43.4 | Scotty Sheffler, he misses the cut. |
| 0:45.5 | The 70-something cut streak is over. |
| 0:48.3 | And I had a buddy of mine who watches the show say that I'm crazy for doing without markets with Scotty |
| 0:56.0 | Schaeffler because he's not going to win anytime soon. Agree or disagree after what you saw |

| 1:30.8 | but the standard is ridiculous with him, and he's still the best player of the world. |
| 1:40.5 | See, I know you're excited for a major this week, the fourth and final major of the season, but are you more excited for the Corrales championship this week? |
| 1:45.3 | You know, I'm actually really disappointed that people refuse to do content for the Corralis. Like, I just don't see anything out there, but we're going to do content on this show. |
| 1:50.0 | I mean, honestly, from a betting perspective, I will say, I think the Open Championship odds are |
| 1:54.8 | really good, like, you know, especially with Scotty falling a little bit and, you know, not having |
