It's WGC Match Play week, and the guys break down the pods and select a player to emerge from each foursome. RotoWire's Jeff Erickson laments that he has multiple players from his fantasy team in the same pod, which decreases his chances of getting a player through to the final.

There are a few players whom Scott Jenstad and Jeff Ritter agree look dangerous, including Patrick Reed, Cameron Smith and Sergio Garcia. Ritter picks Dustin Johnson to take out Smith in the final, while Jenstad has Reed winning it all. But the hosts see many potential bracket-busters who can shake up the event along the way.

They also laugh about how a different "Bettor Golf" podcast launched a few weeks ago, so they will do the gentlemanly thing and change the name of this show ASAP.
