DFS this week, Alex Plickle from FDN Fantasy on the line with me. Alex, did you know that we have Taylor Montgomery, Sam Stevens, and Nico, etchavaria, all WD from this tournament already? Yeah, it's, uh, it was a weak field to begin with, and it's getting weaker and thinner. So we've got our work cut out for us to actually find some good guys. Oh, I doubt that. This is the strongest John Deere field in years. That may be true, but it doesn't mean that it's not a weak field by our normal standards. Oh, Jared, throw up the screen already. I'll show you how to build a lineup, all right? Here's what you do. So where's Ben Coles at? Well, we'll get, we'll get Ben Coles on the list. 73. In fact, I thought he was like cheaper than that. But here we are. So we'll get Ben Coles into the lineup. I mean, we'll just take a bunch of guys who can't putt. That always wins, right? This is a good place for it, actually. Yeah, it's, uh, it obviously we'll end up talking course fit, but like one of the one of the very first things that I think is worth mentioning about TPC Dair Run is it's not the putting contest that people think it is.

into the greens and so just about everyone's going to have a number of birdie opportunities

1:52.1

and the question is just who makes the most of those birdie opportunities and that's how it

1:56.7

becomes a putting contest but at this, those birdie opportunities are earned.

2:01.2

They're not just given to you.

2:02.6

So you do have to drive the ball accurately and hit some really quality iron shots

2:06.9

to actually get those birdie opportunities that you know so much of the field is going to get.

2:10.9

How does this lineup lose?

2:12.2

Griffin, Goderup, Nakajima, Smotherman, Houtong, Ben Coles, boom, give me the money.

2:19.6

Look, I think it's a pretty strong lineup, but there are many ways that this lineup loses because

2:24.7

all six of these guys are capable of doing some pretty knuckle-headed stuff that'll sink you

2:29.7

pretty quickly.

2:30.3

That's true, but I like where your head's at with this.
