00:00And we are back for Elk Coast to Coast here on a Wednesday, a golf Wednesday, on C2C.
00:09And of course, Carver High here with you.
00:10And every Wednesday, the Prime Minister, Cam Stewart, joins me as we get ready for this
00:15week's PGA TOUR event, the 3M Open, as we head up to Minneapolis, DPZ Twin Lakes, to
00:24get ourselves ready.
00:25Cam, good to see you, as always.
00:27Of course, we just spent the break bashing Shane Lowery for really letting us down on
00:35Saturday.
00:36And you know, Cam, it's one thing that he didn't win.
00:39You know, you can stomach that.
00:40Only one guy wins.
00:42When he got out as fast as he did Thursday and Friday, to not cash the T5, that hurt
00:48a lot.
00:49That hurt a lot.
00:50He's a good front-runner, Carver.
00:51And it's the Open Championship.
00:52I'm like, what are you doing six over on Saturday?
00:56That was raging.
00:57I remember, I'm like sitting there going, what are you doing to me, bro?
01:00And I'm the same as you.
01:01I would have been sawed off nice for a top five.
01:03The guy finishes sixth.
01:04That's our luck.
01:05I'll tell you, I love these Jabroni tournaments.
01:07I remember last year, we did the 3M, hey, adhesive, tape, I'm in.
01:12No Scotty Scheffler, let's go.
01:14I'm ready to rock.
01:15Right.
01:16And hey, look, we had that area between the Travelers and the Open, where it was real
01:21hot for us.
01:22Rocket mortgage, the tractor tournament.
01:24So you're right.
01:25We do like these tournaments.
01:27We have this week up in Minneapolis at TPG Twin Cities.
01:31We got Tony Finau, 11 to 1, of course, the favorite he won here two years ago.
01:34Sam Burns is here, Akshay Bhatia, Billy Horschel.
01:38He's got to be out of gas.
01:40He's on a no-fly zone for me.
01:41Tahith Tagalas here this week, the kid Luke Clanton on the top of the board.
01:47Cam Davis, Keith Mitchell, a lot of our favorites.
01:50The postman always rings twice is also in the mix this week for us, Cam.
01:57Look, you got a nice mix of guys there at the top.
01:59I got a feeling it's like the 30 to 70s this week, Cam.
02:03That's kind of where I'm going to be spending my focus.
02:05Couldn't agree more.
02:06And the thing is, a lot of these guys in the Open Championship, they're great players,
02:10but I don't want to take them.
02:11I want to take guys who either miss the cut and out of the chalk.
02:14I know Tagala, I think is a guy that you like, and I like Bhatia.
02:18Those are the two chalk guys, but I'm going a little bit up the board too.
02:20I'm living in the 30 to 70, 80 range right with you, Carver.
02:23I feel you.
02:25Let's get right into it then, Cam, with this time is short, as always.
02:28Here's who I'm going with.
02:293M Open this week in Minnesota for a chalky pick.
02:33I will take Zaheith Tagala.
02:34Missed the cut at the Open Championship.
02:37Coming over here, I like him the most out of any of these other guys that are at the
02:40top, as we were just saying, 22 to 1.
02:43JT Poston has a second year.
02:44He has a couple of other top 10s.
02:46He's 35 to 1.
02:47Eric Van Rooyen, birdies machine.
02:50You need a lot of birdies at this place.
02:5140 to 1 for him.
02:53Adam Hadwin.
02:54We're about as close to Canada as we could possibly get, Cam, here on this stop on the
02:58PGA Tour.
02:5945 to 1.
03:01And Seamus Power will be my semi-bomb of the week at 80 to 1.
03:06Another guy who can make a lot of birdies.
03:09Did like the way he was playing in those couple weeks before we got to the Scottish and the
03:13British.
03:14Quickly, Carver, Eric Van Rooyen, University of Minnesota.
03:17Best friend passed away, University of Minnesota.
03:19There's a lot of time waiting for him.
03:21This guy, this is like a major for him, and I love the pick.
03:23I added him as well.
03:24I'm going to go with my favorite, Salmonella Sandwich, loaded with hot mayo.
03:29It's hoagie on a summer day.
03:3032 to 1.
03:31Don't let me down, Tom.
03:32Let's come through with a nice, clean baguette.
03:35Mack Meisner.
03:36Who?
03:37Who?
03:38As Carver says, watch out for the Meisner.
03:40This guy, all he does is finish top 10 and 20 now.
03:42He's hot.
03:43Eckroat.
03:44I got a frog in my throat.
03:4560 to 1.
03:46He'll love this track.
03:47Just overpower it with power.
03:48Rico Hoey, one of the hottest players in the world.
03:51For my Filipino friends who give me drinks in their garage, 66 to 1.
03:55An afternoon nap.
03:56I'm due for one.
03:5780.
03:58And Pearson Cootie.
03:59I've been close before with the Cooties.
04:00And remember, there's two P. Cooties, Pearson, not Parker, 90 to 1.
04:06I like it, Cam.
04:07Getting involved indeed with the hoagie sandwich this week.
04:11The top 10s and 20s for me.
04:14Here's Batia.
04:15So Batia does get on my card for a T10 at plus 210.
04:18Keegan Bradley for a T10 at plus 280.
04:21Cameron Davis, three top 10s at this event.
04:24He'll win a course a couple weeks ago at the Rocket Mortgage.
04:28Top 10 at plus 320 for him.
04:30Nicky Dunlap won the Jabroni tournament last weekend, the Barracuda.
04:34So he's been hot.
04:35T20 at plus 185.
04:37Lee Hodges won this event a year ago in a rout, by the way, he won it.
04:42Top 20 at plus 220.
04:44Cameron Champ, another past champ at this event.
04:49Top 20 at plus 450.
04:51I wish I was Cameron Champ.
04:53Anyway, Carver, here we go.
04:55Batia for a top 10.
04:56I'm with you.
04:57This guy could win this tournament.
04:59Plus 260.
05:00I'm going to tell you, watch out for EVR top 20.
05:03I'm also riding Carver for the win with Eric Von Ruh and Taylor Pendrith.
05:06I like him top 20.
05:07I like your Hadwin pick.
05:08I'm a top 40 guy now, Carver.
05:10I'm not having guys screw me on Sundays.
05:12Novocaine, Andrew Novak, top 40.
05:14Good player.
05:15He could win.
05:16Plus 130.
05:17Riders on the Storm with Sam, top 40, plus 135.
05:20And Neil Shipley, very hot young player, plus 150.
05:24There you go.
05:25How about some first round leader bombs for us this week at the 3M?
05:30Like we said, got to make a lot of birdies,
05:31so we want guys like that in the mix.
05:33Kurt Kitayama, he's become really just a Thursday warrior, 50 to 1 for him.
05:37There's Adam Hadwin once again on my card, 55 to 1.
05:40We always roll the dice with Johnny Vegas when he's involved.
05:43I usually like it when he's in that 100, 110.
05:46I'm getting 70 this week, but I'll still go do it.
05:48Pearson Cootie makes my card this week as well, Cam, 80 to 1
05:52for first round leader.
05:53Do what you did a couple of weeks ago at the Jabroni tournament.
05:56Cam Champ at 90 to 1.
05:57And Justin Lauer at 110 to 1, another guy who can make a lot of birds.
06:02Get lower with Lauer.
06:04Let's go.
06:04I'm going to go with Patea, notorious hot starter.
06:07Watch out for him.
06:08That's a great price at 33, Carver.
06:10Hoagie Sandwich, I like him to come into the game hot, 45 to 1.
06:13JT, what is the postman delivering?
06:15Good odds at 45.
06:16EVR is 50.
06:17I'm with you with Kitayama at 60.
06:19And my boy, Andrew Novak, he's a Thursday warrior, too, a lot of the time.
06:2380 to 1, Carver.
06:24Let's hit this thing down, hit a first round leader,
06:26and roll it into the weekend.
06:28I feel good about this week's tournament, actually.
06:30Better than the open.
06:30You know what?
06:31I like the EVR to start things off as well, Cam.
06:34So I'll get EVR involved on my first round leaders for tomorrow as well.
06:38It's a good call by you.
06:39So we're both kind of in the mix with those same guys.
06:42Always good when we're reading each other's mail.
