## ⛳ WYNDHAM CLARK WINS US OPEN

### Second Career Major — Both at US Opens

| Final Round | Score               |
| ----------- | ------------------- |
| Start       | \-7 (6-stroke lead) |
| Finish      | **\-4**             |
| Round       | +3                  |

**Pre-tournament odds:** 45/1 to 50/1

---

## ⛳ The 18th Hole Drama

**The setup:** Clark bogeyed 17\. Sam Burns already in the clubhouse at -3\. Clark needed par to win.

**The tee shot:** Sliced into the second cut (rough)

**The approach:** Good recovery, but left 50+ foot putt for birdie

**The putt:** Incredible lag to tap-in range for par

**The win:** Gutsy two-putt for the championship

---

## ⛳ Sam Burns Sweat

**Scott:** "What a sweat that was."

| Burns                 | Result      |
| --------------------- | ----------- |
| Final Round           | \-3         |
| Finish                | \-3 (T2)    |
| If Clark bogeys 18... | **Playoff** |

---

## ⛳ The Crowd Factor

**Scott:** "Literally all the fans at Shinnecock were rooting against him. Scheffler's the number one golfer, he's the popular one. Everyone's probably betting on Scheffler."

**Clark after:** Acknowledged the hostile crowd, overcame it.

---

## ⛳ The Wyndham Clark Enigma

Clark's major history is bizarre.

| Year | Masters | PGA | US Open | Open |
| ---- | ------- | --- | ------- | ---- |
| 2021 | —       | T75 | MC      | —    |
| 2022 | —       | —   | MC      | T76  |
| 2023 | —       | MC  | **WIN** | T33  |
| 2024 | MC      | MC  | T56     | MC   |
| 2025 | T46     | T50 | MC      | T4   |
| 2026 | T21     | MC  | **WIN** | —    |

**Scott:** "A very rare golfer profile. Two-time US Open winner, but no success anywhere else in majors."

| Darryn Peterson #1 | —         | —                 |

**Scott:** "Maybe there's value in Dybantsa +450 to be the second overall pick. What if Washington changes their minds?"

## ⚾ COLLEGE WORLD SERIES GAME 3

### Tonight: Winner Take All

| Team           | Odds       |
| -------------- | ---------- |
| North Carolina | \-158      |
| **Oklahoma**   | **+124**   |
| Total          | 9.5 (over) |

**Series:** Oklahoma won G1, UNC won G2

---

## ⚾ Jake's Oklahoma Play

### The Case for the Sooners

**Jake:** "I'm gonna keep trying to ride this train with Oklahoma. They still have some magic in them."

**The pitching edge:**

- UNC's Ryan Lynch left G2 early
- Kaden Glauber came in (5 IP dominant), was supposed to start G3
- Now: **Folger Boaz starts** — Jake: "Very beatable, very gettable"
- Glauber available but limited

**The price:**

- Jake: "In a do or die elimination game, the price probably should be closer to a coin flip. You're getting plus 124."

**The momentum:**

- Oklahoma's first loss since regionals was G2
- Started G2 hot (2-0 lead) before Mercurius struggled

## ⚾ MLB AWARDS MARKETS

### NL Rookie of the Year

| Player            | Odds  | Notes                                          |
| ----------------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **JJ Wetherholt** | \-155 | Cardinals, \~4 WAR, 2 HR game, likely All-Star |

**Jake:** "He's given himself quite a bit of runway. Not trying to beat him."

### AL Rookie of the Year

| Player                | Odds  | Notes                  |
| --------------------- | ----- | ---------------------- |
| Kevin McGonigle       | \-180 | Tigers                 |
| **Munataka Murakami** | \~6/1 | White Sox, 20 HR on IL |

**Jake:** "If Murakami comes off the IL and gets to 30-40 home runs and the White Sox make the playoffs, he's gonna get a lot of that credit. I think he's very live."

### AL MVP

| Player         | Odds     | Notes     |
| -------------- | -------- | --------- |
| Yordan Alvarez | \-155    | DH only   |
| **Nick Kurtz** | **+250** | Athletics |

**Jake:** "I still think it's wrong for Alvarez to be minus money. He's a DH, doesn't play the field. The only DH to win MVP was Ohtani's 50-50 season. Kurtz still has a ton of value."

### Home Run Leader

| Player             | Odds     | Notes                        |
| ------------------ | -------- | ---------------------------- |
| Kyle Schwarber     | —        | 3 HR game over weekend       |
| **Hunter Goodman** | **27/1** | Rockies, half games at Coors |

**Jake:** "He's only a handful of homers behind, plays half his games at Coors, can hit them in bunches."

---

## ⚾ Monday MLB

### Yankees -130 vs Tigers

**Pitching:** Gerrit Cole vs Framer Valdez

**Jake:** "Seems like kind of a light price to lay."

### Astros vs Blue Jays

**Pitching:** Hunter Brown vs Dylan Cease

**Jake:** "I like Astros first five. Dylan Cease can make mistakes. Blue Jays lineup is real hit or miss."

### White Sox vs Guardians

**Jake:** "Gonna be determining what the AL Central looks like. I lean towards the White Sox just because they're fun."

---

## ⚾ Phillies Watch

**Record:** Red hot (beat Mets)

**World Series odds:** +750

**Jake:** "I think they're a better team than the Brewers who are ahead of them. The Braves can be got, especially with all the rotation injuries."
