Guy has never played her but that didn’t stop Xander Schauffele last week.
your draft kings link is still not working. It has been non operational for several weeks.
Sal what are your thoughts on playing top guys that are still grinding to make The Open?
What’s the history? Do guys that are already in The Open tend to lay down here?
What you think of Martin this week?
I don’t think they’d even play if they were going to lay down Micahel, they’d be preparing for next week.
Just to answer some of your questions.
First getting on a plane for England and the British. That along with selling and buying a new home has made me late and have not done DraftKings. I haven’t even had time to play the game, let allow write about it and the picks.
Those at the John Deere that aren’t qualify for the British really don’t care about the British open. For those that are going, the Deere has a very nice charter that will take them straight to Manchester Sunday after play. But for those not qualified, it’s always a hassle if they get in.
Carlo have no idea on Martin and how well he will play, sorry.
Yes Carlo you are right, those playing at the Deere aren’t laying down, they are playing hard. Lot’s of money to be made this week.
