Pretty much a regular
I took Keith Mitchell at 70-1. I don’t see a lot that I like here. Feels like a week where one of the favorites wins at like -22. Probably Rahm.

I will probably get involved the caddy too
I am also interested in Spieth. I have not verified but I read that the highest finish he ever had @ Byron Nelson was as a 16 year old. He has not played this course much.
A quick little article:
After dealing with COVID-19, a healthy Jordan Spieth returns to PGA Tour at AT&T Byron Nelson
Spieth begins a busy stretch of four tournaments in as many weeks after recovering from COVID-19.
golfweek.usatoday.com
Spieth, who made his PGA Tour debut in this tournament in 2016 as a 16-year-old amateur, isn’t overly familiar with the course. He played two junior tournaments on the course and failed to earn his card at Q-School here in 2012.
“I played last Wednesday, just came out and played with my dad and my agent just to kind of check it out,” Spieth said. “I knew all the shapes of the holes and stuff like that, but it had been really nine years since playing in a tournament.”
*By the way the 2016 year must be wrong b/c Jordan would have been 22-23

He is using the newest version of the new ProV1X today for the first time. He's always played the ball but has used the 2015 version until today
2 perfect shots to start out his round

Moore was ahead of Berger all day. Berger eagles #9 with a 3 (his 18th) while Moore makes par 5. Hole played under par. Both -3 tied for 75th
Push on Day #1
Sam Burns -7 tied for 6th & Si Woo Kim -6 tied for 19th on tourney bet

This appears to be a good wager. Brooks is out of form for good reason. I personally believe Champ is hyped more than he should be - a good player, but hyped

Pretty much a regular
Was a good number but Sergio is bad today. Not even gonna be much of a sweat

I’m watching. It’s his putting, poor guy
Mark Leishman (who I have against Champ) is playing like a 7 handicap

1-2-1 in Round #2
1-2-2 for the tourney so far
Its interesting to me that both of my losses yesterday were my late additions. That seems to happen more than not & it should tell me something. Leishman played mediocre on the front and actually fairly awful on the back and Mitchell was never really in the match against Snedeker.
My "the field" wager to win looking good as is my Burns over Siwoo for the tourney
Round #3
Cabrera Bello +145 Over Leishman
Burns -140 Over Noren (I bet this for 2.5 times the normal)

1-0-1 Round #4. I will bitch a bit. Kodaira was -5 on the front and -6 thru hole 12 and up by 4. Made 3 bogies on last 6 holes to push.
Won both my Burns beats Siwoo and "The Field" tourney bets
6-2-3 Record for the week
