Last Second Notes
The Tournament starts at 130am ET
Sebastian Söderberg withdrew Wednesday. No one replaced him the field since there were 158 entries for some reason. The field is set at 157 now.
Tambo and I broke down the weather, underdog plays, bets, and DraftKings ownership and how to construct rosters on today’s show. Watch/Listen if you haven’t. You’ll find out the strange things Tambo wants to do to Rory!

UNDERDOG
Tambo and I also made an Underdog Entry for Thursday. You can play it 20x to hit all five, or 9.5x (5/5) and 2.9x (4/5) as an insuraced entry. I did both. You can too if you use code MAYO and get the up to $250 BONUS on first deposit.

WEATHER/TEE TIMES
You look at this weather report and tell me where the advantage lies.
WIND TOWER: TROON
It’s like perfect mirror. This is still Scotland however, so an unseen good/bad weather wave will likely emerge one of the first two days. The only way you can take advantage (if it happens) is to blindly cluster some similar tee times together. I’d aim for two hour periods featuring some the bigger names and use the jabronis around them to full out rosters. Remember: At The Open all players start on Hole No. 1. There is about 10 hours between the first players and last players on the course. The normal AM/PM or vice versa doesn’t apply in the same way here.
FINAL BETS
Hatton 33 — I used my 30% boost to take Hatton up. Everyone is on him. All for good reason. But I honestly can’t remember the last time (Willet maybe?) where everyone won at a Major together. He’s been hot on LIV, is a links specialist, has an immaculate Open record, is the right age, and has performed well to average in Majors so far this season. If there was every going to be a time, call him John Cena.
Cam Smith 55 — If the weather is awful, it may mitigate driving and enhance great wedges and scrambling. There was a lot of this type of player at the top of the 2016 Troon leaderboard, and Cam is basically the best version of that skill set.
Sahith Theegala 66 (8 Places) — Sahith was the last add to the card. I think he’s the player I’ve bet the most this year. Fucking money pit. He has all the tools, and his Sunday no-show playing late at the PGA Championship is usually a step players need before truly contending. And he said this is already one of his favorite courses reeled me in like the sucker I am.
Last cut: Brooks. There’s are 45s & 50s out there and I didn’t pull the trigger. And neither did you. It’s going to hurt more when we all know this should have been a blind bet.

They say lightening can’t strike twice. But I personally know someone who’s been hit three times now. So why can’t two of these hit in the same year? Of note, I also played these exact ones with Tiger added to it. Adding Tiger more than doubles the odds.
NEW DRAFTS!!!!!
Our good friends at Underdog Fantasy have launched a FedEx Cup Playoffs drafts that’s OPEN NOW!!!!!! I prefer these to the single round drafts tbh. There’s a ton of strategy to advance from Memphis to Denver to Atlanta and I’m here for it. We’ll have some cool NFL things like this and for Pick’em, so sign up NOWWWWWWWW so you don’t miss out. This PME Golf one has the usual flat payout we all demand btw.

DRAFTKINGS
Tambo and I talked this through on the show in-depth of why I ended up on these guys and the builds that go along with it, but if you need a cheatsheet of what I’m doing across 40 lineups, here it is. Maybe just X these guys out and take everyone else to print money? I did play a few hand builds with weather stacks on Top of the 40 as well.
