| 0:00.0 | DJ on bumpy greens. |
| 0:01.9 | The guy can put on those things. We got, you know, rocks and shells and you name it out there on these greens. So maybe there's something to that as well. But, you know, DJ at 6300, not like anybody's going there anyway. So if you landed on him, I'd be just fine. I think speed obviously is, you know, a great option up above when you're mixing in. But that 7K range is so small to start with. And you got Spieth, Lowry, Sewu, all that. But Spieth could end up being a really good pivot off of Siwu and Cantlay, who are both right there. Lowry will probably pick up Steam, too. But what you're saying is that Dustin has big bump experience. He definitely does. Yes, more ways than one, as we know. At Mayo Experience. |
| 0:43.5 | Welcome to the Pat Mayo Experience, presented by Underdog the U.S. Open, |
| 0:50.2 | millionaire maker, Draft King's Picks, and preview, Alex Bickle, Toe, tagging Tambo, Tyler Tamblini, Shipit Nation, FTN Fantasy. On the line with me, Tambo, there are millions of dollars available at the top of these prizes. Are you finally going to win one or what? I hope so, Pat. If, you know, the momentum is anything, it's good. It was 29th at the Masters. And then I ended up having a really good Sunday in showdown. And then it was, I think 17th at the PGA championship. So we're trending in the right direction. We got a $25 this week and then the big 4444 mega, which actually has a nicer structure than usual. So the dream is still alive to be able to win two millimakers at the same time |
| 1:28.4 | with the same lineup. But I don't know if that'll happen, but I'll take just one. |
| 1:31.7 | Alex, what I think I'm going to do is use the DFS optimizer at the rabbit hole, project out |
| 1:38.3 | lineup, see the good lineups and be like, you know what? I'm going to play all the guys that I like |
| 1:42.3 | who inevitably miss the cut. |
| 2:03.8 | That's always the move, isn't it? It's especially at the U.S. Open, anything can happen. So this is like the week to just go all in on your own brand of losers. Yeah, and usually I do that at the U.S. Open. It does not pay dividends. So I need your guys' help. But if you do need the help from the stats, the data, the simulations, that is all available at Bettsbtsbtsgolf.com right now. |
| 2:19.5 | $1 for this week, code US Open at Bettsbertsgolf.com. You'll get that optimizer, the classic simulator, all of the data, all of the filters, the simulation, the head-to-head betting tool that's up there along with recaps of each of the rounds, |
| 2:21.0 | along with that data as well. |
| 2:25.5 | So once again, betsportsgolf.com, code US open smash like while you're hearing. |
| 2:30.3 | Give me your favorite play from the $5,000 range on Draft Kings this week. |
| 2:58.1 | Because Tambo, we usually do see, as Blickle just kind of pointed out, there's a few of these $5,000 guys that if you can find the right ones are going to be super valuable this week. It is possible. I think of it the other way. I'd rather other people go down. They're a rabbit hole, if you will, pun intended, and be able to try and pick one because I think the best case scenario is you might not need any of them. As Alex pointed out pre-show, there is like 20 golfers in the 7 to 8,000 flat to 8,900. |
| 3:01.3 | So everybody got pushed into the 6K range. |
| 3:04.9 | There's 50 plus golfers in the 6K range that you can play. |
| 3:30.6 | And most of my pool will probably be sort of chopping up through that area as opposed to trying to pick the diamond in the rough down in the 5K range. Wow, maybe there are diamonds in the rough, Alex. Let's do this right now. Let's try to find some guys from the $5,000 range that you think are playable because I see a few. See a few down here. Although I was going to say Chris Kirk, but he's $6,000. I really like kirk this week i think billy horschall at 5900 bucks greo at 58 and then you could even look at ben james ben james had it going on in canada he just turned professional here he is in this tournament |
| 3:35.4 | that he and neil shippley down here could make some sense yeah Yeah, I also see William Mao down here. There |
| 3:43.1 | are a few names, but I'm kind of more in line with Tambo here where no matter who you |
| 3:48.3 | land on in this 5K range, you can say, okay, well, if I just spend 300, 300 more or 500 more, |
| 3:55.6 | you're going to get a significantly better player. |
| 3:59.0 | And that difference is going to be a lot greater than the difference between like going from |
