Maybe Neil's break really wasn't a self-sanction...just a vacation! A big week tailing J-Day and of course Chez at Memorial brings Neil back into positive figures for the year, joining only DJ. Here's our picks for this week's Triple M:

 DJ's 100 point loss last week can be chalked up to being a little busy and a little too comfy on his perch in the standings. Back in the killhouse this week, DJ spent countless hours in the lab concocting a winning formula for a little Minny golf this week. Sam Burns played himself into contention two weeks ago at Workday, but plunged down the board after opening with a triple on Sunday. Like Ryan Palmer last week, DJ predicts Burns will quickly be able to rebound from a disappointing performance.

Max Homa has been able to secure his status on Tour in the past couple years after bouncing back and forth between the PGA and KFT in the early portion of his career. The COVID break didn't come at a great time for Max as he was simmering in the first couple months of 2020, and he's had difficulty finding the same form after the Tour resumed. In all likelihood, his duties as a podcaster have taken away from his ability to practice and stay sharp. The only shot of him finishing Top 20 this week may be the fact that the likes of Ricky Barnes, Rich Beem and Tim Herron are in the field.

Unable to lay off the juicyness of the first round leader bet, DJ predicts Finau will go low on Thursday again, just a week after he did so at Muirfield. I will say, it does seem more likely than Finau actually closing the door on a Sunday. 

 Entrusting his nugs in the very questionable health of Jason Day, Neil responded from his hiatus just as strongly as #dbstraitvibin in Fort Worth. Day's short-game saves on the last two holes om Sunday allowed him to maintain his T4 place on the leaderboard, cashing Icarito's first dub of the year. Chez was able to hold on to Top 40 despite a poor Sunday to reward Neil for continuing to back him week-in and week-out.

Chez's absence from this week's field forces Neil's hand, making Neil place his wandering eyes on some other heart-stopping opportunities. Sepp Straka has been filling it up in the last few weeks, with strong finishes at the Rocket Mortgage and Workday where birides were a must. If birdies are once again a priority at TPC Twin Cities, Straka could make some noise.

Outside the current FedEx Top 125, Brooks Koepka will have opportunities at the no cut WGC next week and at the PGA to make a move up the standings. Icarito's guess is that he won't wait until then, predicting Brooks could top this week's field. Koepka is coming off two weeks worth of two-way misses at Muirfield...but it may not be as difficult to rise up the board this week in a stinkier field that includes his brother. Is Chase a good player? Undoubtedly yes. Are there thousands of guys like him that unfortunately don't share the name of a 4x major champ? Also yes. Still, Brooks will face a few names that will could push him this week. One is Tommy Fleetwood, often omitted in  discussions of the best players in the world. According to Neil, Tommy Fleets will be buzzing this week in his return. 

 Amongst the wilderness, Randall was miraculously able to find enough signal to reach the DK Sportsbook and send in a few picks for the week. Randy admitted to not having a good sense for what's going to happen at the 3M this week, so he's playing it pretty safe with his picks. Based on his picks in recent weeks, I guess the big guy has not yet had a good sense for what's going to happen in 

 week to date. Hopefully his senses will be a little more heightened out to keep Randy in survival mode out in the elements.

I touched on Max earlier with DJ's picks, but we are so far 3 for 3 in NLU crew members picking Max in some form or fashion to play well this week. Bias is allowed, maybe even encouraged, but we'd love to see the big guy get bolder with his picks. For example, Bubba is +200 to miss the cut this week...and he always seems one bad break away from a mental breakdown. In Randy's defense, he was probably lost this week without Rickie in the field.

Harris English tied for 13th last week after testing positive for COVID-19 in Detroit. If stamina proves no issue this week, English has a good chance of taking advantage of his solid iron-play to possibly contend this week. Randy has seen enough out of Finau to officially make the coroner aware of his deteriorating "health status." (to be clear, Tony's physical health is ok...Randy has previously pronounced DJ and Rory to be "dead" based on their underwhelming play). Randy expects the weekend performance of Finau to bleed into this week, making Tommy Fleetwood a smart pick to best him.

: "Mike" Wallace and Tony Finau both contributed to a modestly positive week for TC at Memorial. The profits must have been burning a hole in his pocket, as TC spent little time spending his winnings on a few celebratory cocktails to enjoy while making his 3M picks from Ernie's big chair live in Minnesota.

Dustin Johnson's inability to break 80 doesn't seem to scare Tron at all, as he is picking DJ to back up his second-to-last performance with a win this week. If not Dustin, then maybe List or Gordon, who have both showcased that things are clicking lately in their efforts to secure their place on Tour for next year's "reach-around" season.

Two outstanding 2019 KFT graduates, Ventura and Higgs, round out TC's picks (we think, the  audio left something to be desired). Both the field and the venue may allow these two KFT standouts to draw on their success from last year to make some noise this week.

: Cantlay was positioned well to reward Soly in some way for quintupling down on him in his picks last week. However, a Sunday 79 left Soly re-enacting Rahm's driver slam on #11 last week (allegedly). Another 100 point loss.

Sticking to the same ideals, Soly is choosing to back Tony Finau this week. Finau’s resume now has a glaring number of missed opportunities listed including last week, where he was 10 over par in his last 30 holes. However, if there was ever a week, this is it. He decided to part ways with his long-time friend and caddy Greg Bodine after his finish on Sunday. A change of pace may give him the little fire he needs to break through against a soft field. His length and ability to go low is suited for Minny.

The only concession Soly is deciding to make regarding Finau's chances this week is that Matt Wolff has the strongest of resumes when it comes to TPC Twin Cities. Wolff doesn’t seem like a guy who will be phased by the expectations/extra duties of a defending champion. He has a chance to again take advantage of a venue that places importance on the strengths of his game. He will likely make this a regular stop, unlike Morikawa and DeChambeau who passed on this year’s 3M after contending last year.

: I promise I make my picks prior to watching the video of the picks the guys are making. With that being said, I do agree with Soly and DJ's opinion that Finau, Burns and Wolff are poised to contend this week. Finau and Wolff aren't exactly groundbreaking picks, but Burns is a little more under the radar. He has a winning pedigree as a Jack Nicklaus award winner at LSU. Hits it stupid far and putts it really well, profiling really well to win on Tour in the near future. If it’s only a matter of time until he wins, why not this week against a so-so field? Sloan and Piercy are a couple streaky guys I'm taking a shot on, as both profile as guys who are likely to either go low or miss the cut. Avoiding round numbers on my "nuggets" this week to try to mix up the vibe a little bit.

What's in the Bag (and why): Neil

We are in the process of trying to erase all documentation of our Workday picks from the internet. Big Randy's McNealy MC prediction was literally the only winner of the week, earning him a very impactful 10 points. Take a look at our wild-ass-guesses for this week's Memorial:

 From an undisclosed location, DJ recorded his only pick for the second of two consecutive events at Muirfield Village. A perk of being standings leader is being able to take big swings without worry of the consequence of a big miss. Like a clean-up hitter in a scramble with a safe one out there, Dennis is letting one fly with an opportunity to nearly double his cumulative point total.

Morikawa has established a track record of consistency regardless of result in his prior week. I could see him following up his win with another solid week, especially on a potentially more difficult setup that should reward his premier ball-striking. Rickie is still prone to an unpredicatable foul ball, leading to a big number that is notably absent from the majority of Morikawa's scorecards. Former Jayhawk Gary Woodland will also look to follow up a solid payday in a matchup against Tony Finau, who shot 59 last week at his home course despite a 1 over finish in his last two holes. Both likely have untapped power, and it will be interesting to see if either decides to chase a little more distance in response to Bryson's evolution as the summer rolls on.

A rough week for Jon Rahm finished on a high note as he carded a tournament-low 64 last Sunday. DJ will need less of that type of play and more of the fore rights Rahm was battling last Thursday. Rahm admirably 

 Randy took an enormous chunk out of DJ's lead by earning 10 nugs when Mav McNealy missed last week's cut. Still, losses in his remaining picks flushed him from the green to the red in the cumulative totals. A similarly conservative approach this week gives him a chance to get back positive.

For the second time in three weeks, Randy is choosing to back Rickie, who of course was present behind the 18th green to show his close, personal friend JT his love and support. Unselfishly, Fowler finished T22 to give the full spotlight to his buddy. Randy's first pick of the week is in direct opposition to DJ, giving him another opportunity to take a large 35 point chunk out of the current deficit in the standings. The third spring break crew member, Jordan Spieth, will need improvement from the loose swings that led to his Friday collapse in missing the cut last week if he is going to top Sergio, who in contrast has built his career on the foundation of his ball-striking.

A familiar rivalry, Tiger vs. Phil, rounds out Randy's predictions. The big guy has put his heart on the line backing Phil for years...and will be emotionally tied again this week by predicting lefty will wrap his week up by shaking Mr. Nicklaus' hand. If Tiger is to spoil those plans, Randy thinks he would need to do so despite showing some early rust, as he is forecasting The Cat to make 3 or more bogeys in his opening round.  

 A two-week hiatus from picks seemingly did nothing in the way of curing Neil of his Chez addiction. Icarito has fallen off the wagon, itching for his fix of the scrappy vet. Unfortunately, Reavie showed form during Neil's absence, placing T17 last week. A similar performance at Muirfield this week may service as a scratch to Icarito's itch.

Backing Jason Day is a leap of faith in many ways. Will his body hold up for four days? Will he avoid an illness/positive COVID test? Are his crystals in alignment? If yes to all those....will he actually play well? A staple of Day's most successful days on Tour was his putting from 10 feet and in. His substandard year is partially due to a decrease in his make percentage on such putts. Home surfaces at Muirfield aided JayDay's putting last week. A duplicate performance will be necessary to keep Neil afloat this week...

...unless someone makes a 2 on a Par 5 this week. Completely up to the golf gods. Icarito will certainly be hoping the 14th hole setup utilizes the forward tees in multiple rounds this week. If not, the best chance for an albatross will likely come at #5. Last week, Phil took a line on 5 that left him 114 from the hole in the right rough. We'll see if anyone takes an equally aggressive line this week to give Neil a prayer at hitting the bullseye on this dart throw.

: TC's pattern of coming up a leg shy on the mega parlays has not acted as a deterrent. In fact, the number of legs has increased as the weeks have gone on. There's a reason parlay payouts look so juicy...the same reason he's O-fer so far.

Sungjae has been a popular pick throughout the entire crew since the restart despite lackluster results. Putting has been the primary issue in the past 5 weeks, having lost strokes to the field on the greens in every event except his T10 finish at Colonial. Also lackluster have been Finau and Leish since the Tour returned. TC may be looking for value in traditionally dependable players whose odds may be a little inflated due to recent struggles. Or...he may just be showing some love for Leish, who engaged in a mid-round interview last week with an NLU towel in hand. A final acknowledgement was given to "Mike" Wallace of Bellerive acclaim, who is a Euro who has decided to compete in the States for will now be the sixth consecutive week.

: Props to Soly for his willingness to change what has been a losing strategy to date. This week, he will ride almost exclusively with defending champion Patrick Cantlay. Cantlay finished last week with a 65, including a 5 under stretch in his first 5 holes. His last three starts at Muirfield Village have netted T4, 1st and T7 results, respectively.

Cantlay's first three rounds during the Workday event underwhelmed expectations he likely had entering the week. He fought a left (and often long) miss that usually leads to the worst places to be on PGA Tour setups. A crafty short-game, nervy par conversions and a grinder's mentality allowed him to make the cut on the number...giving him the opportunity to find a swing key that clicked on Sunday. Given three days to install that key, he's a likely contender again this week.

If not Cantlay, Soly concedes the only other possibility would be JT exacting revenge at Muirfield only 7 days after a surprising defeat. The fire JT has within him makes a rebound win this week infintely more likely than a despondent MC.

: Agree with Soly's take on Cantlay this week, but was shocked to see I'm the only one choosing to throw any nugs down on JT. Even at 10:1, I think there's a lot of value backing someone as talented, determined and motivated as Thomas is this week. Taking a flier on Xander to have a low one this week given his hot putter. If he can pair his performance on the greens last week with the ball-striking that helped him lead the field in SG: Off the Tee at the 2019 Memorial, a low one could be out there for Schauffele.

In closing, have to show a little personal bias in picking a friend and former teammate to finish Top 10 @ TPC San Antonio this week. Arman will be making his 2nd career Korn Ferry Tour start by virtue of Monday qualifying, this time pacing the field in posting an 11 under par 60. Can't relate. A Top 10 would certainly be a nice payday...but potentially more importantly would secure his spot in the field of next week's Price Cutter Championship in his home state of MO.

NLU Odds Preview - Memorial Tournament

It's becoming a runaway in the standings as DJ correctly picked a tournament winner for the 2nd time in 3 weeks. Most of the guys are taking mighty hacks this week in an effort to cut into DJ's early lead. Randy, however, seems content trying to stay net positive. Take a look:

 Hard to argue DJ’s logic. Brooks has an established history of producing when he feels he’s been slighted. The last month has been very Bryson-centric in the golf world, and his win Sunday shifted the betting favorite for this year’s majors from Rory/Brooks to DeChambeau. Insert MJ “I took that personally” gif. Smelling blood, “Vegas Pie” (DJ Vegas?) is unleashing a whale play with the potential to likely finish this competition should Brooks win and JT finish runner-up.

Mav McNealy rode a hot putter to a Top 10 finish last week, which has polarized DJ and Randy in their predictions for how he will back up the 2nd best finish of his professional career at this week's Workday. McNealy has relied heavily on his putter really throughout his rookie campaign, ranking 14th in SG: Putting this season. In contrast, he has lost strokes approaching the green this year (had to confirm he hasn’t also broken this statistic). A repeat of last week’s improved ball-striking will likely be required for Maverick to earn another Sunday afternoon tee time.

Though this week and next week's setup seemingly won't be terribly different, a less demanding birdiefest this week would likely enhance Matt Wolff’s prospects. Wolff will need to prove he’s capable of layering back-to-back solid weeks to best a struggling Billy Horschel, Mr. All-In Kokrak, HV3 and the king of the haterblockers, Kevin Streelman in Group "E." With a solid record at Muirfield and a recent close call in Cromwell, Streels may be set for a run this week.

 Listen, no one is going to accuse the big guy of getting out over his skis this week. It would be more than fair to compare Randy’s second week of picks to playing penny slots. Worth noting that a perfect week would bring him within a mere 532 points of DJ’s lead. Much like his ride or die guy Rickie, Randy may be content embracing the role of dog, not killer.

As mentioned above, Randy is banking on McNealy’s putter entering the frozone on a set of unfamiliar greens, leading to a MC. Friend of the pod Max Homa has a case for golfer most hindered by the COVID-19-induced break. In the calendar year 2020, Max finished Top 25 in 7 of his 8 starts prior to the abrupt pause in March at The Players. Having missed 2 of 3 cuts since the restart, Randy hopes for a return to form after Max took last week off. At -137, Byeong-Hun An is a modest favorite to beat Workday ambassador Brandt Snedeker this week. If Brandt dedicates this week’s performance to the title sponsor during his pre-tourney presser, Randy may as well start raking in his points given how well Phil’s Workday shoutout turned out.

Big Randy will have all week to wait for his final prop. An eye-popping 12 points ride on the winner’s score on the 72nd hole being something other than a par 4. For reference, the first four weeks has featured two winners who made par on their 18th hole Sunday (Simpson, Johnson), and two who made birdie (Berger, DeChambeau).

 A single shot (worse for Rodgers or better for Duncan) kept TC from winning the improbable five-leg cross-tour mega parlay last week. Happy to see he’s back on the parlay train this week, this time sticking strictly to the PGA Tour event. Serious consideration was given to getting involved with this Sunday’s true main event: F1’s Steiermark GP at the Red Bull Ring.

A model of consistency, especially in terms of flying under the radar, Marc Leishman’s 50 to 1 return potential makes him too appealing for Tron (and later, Soly) to pass on. TC has voiced his belief that JT is poised to win this week on multiple NLU platforms…but decided to only back him to the tune of ten nuggets. Ultimately, his largest sum this week entitles him to a first-class ticket aboard the “powder” keg that is Jordan Spieth. A long-awaited Spieth victory would vault TC well ahead of DJ in the standings, furthering the point that DJ’s wins thus far are  just 

. From the clouds, TC’s final pick was K.H. Lee to win. Amongst a field featuring 5 of the top 10 players in the world, Lee’s recent form (MC in 3 of the last 4 weeks) and resume at Muirfield (one start, T37 in 2019) made him an 

: Sungjae Im has twice contributed to the deficit Soly has built himself in the standings. If the third time is not the charm this week, Sungjae could potentially spoil two separate picks…including a matchup parlay pinning Im against the new team of Matt Fitzpatrick and (yet another friend of the pod) Bones Mackay. Another leg of the parlay features Muirfield newcomer Viktor Hovland picked to beat Rickie, who has contended at The Memorial on multiple occasions. The final leg predicts Marc Leishman, another of Soly’s favorites to ultimately win this week, will finish ahead of Ian Poulter.

Matt Wolff @70:1 made sense to Soly this week given the course profile closely resembles TPC Twin Cities, site of Wolffie’s first Tour win. Personally, I’d love to see Soly’s final pick, Chris Kirk, emerge victorious this week…but maybe not for the reasons you may think. Kirk, whose success has been built on his short game and ability to fill it up with the putter, would need to earn a win this week despite his length…not because of it. Should Kirk win, it would present a priceless contrast to a potential Bryson victory in the week following. I can already hear the cries of Jack watching Bryson abuse Muirfield next week…”Barbara, Barbara! He’s ruining my course! That wasn’t my intent! He’s taking all the risk out of my risk/reward staples! We’ve gotta dial it back, Barbara! Call the fans in and get this thing shut down!”

:Hard to believe Hideki is plus money to finish as low Asian competitor given the consistency he's displayed at Muirfield, but I'll concede that some of the picks the guys made above (Im, An, and of course the ever-dangerous K.H. Lee) present a challenge worth noting. Cantlay has been a force at Muirfield the last two years (4th, 1st) and played well in his only appearance since the restart (T11, Travelers). Rickie, often a bridesmaid in Dublin, seemed to find some ball-striking form last week, hitting 60/72 greens in regulation en route to a T12 finish. As a potential nod to his biggest fan Big Randy, he has surprisingly struggled lately on the greens...but I'd be surprised if he didn't settle in this week on familiar surfaces at his friend Jack's place. Troy Merritt was emasculated by Bryson on national TV last Sunday. I think his mature response to a notoriously tone-deaf Bryson comment earned him some goodwill with the golf gods, translating to a Top 20 this week.

NLU Odds Preview - Workday Charity Open

All are looking for a rebound from a fairly standard week of fruitless picks at the Travelers. Here's a breakdown of each prayer the crew hopes is answered in Detroit. My take on the picks can be found beneath each summary in a section titled 

 With an already commanding lead, DJ is embracing his luxury by putting his eggs into the basket of this week’s favorite, Bryson. Chances are the 50 “eggs” DJ is depositing into Bryson’s basket wouldn’t be sufficient to get the beefy boy through the week. I agree with the NLU consensus that Bryson has yet to put it all together, despite finishing top 10 in three consecutive weeks since the return of golf (and 6 straight overall!!). However, I wonder if fatigue or sluggishness starts to become a factor in what is now his fourth straight week of competition. He’s assuredly still adjusting to his new frame and likely struggling to maintain his mass of ass.

Dennis is also fading guys who finished Top 20 in last year’s RMC in ALL 3 legs of his matchup parlay. Seems DJ's comfy lead has propelled him into the mindset of a gambling aficianado, as he submerges himself fully into the contrarian waters. Will he be able to swim with the sharps?

 Randy has graciously returned from his moral duty to assist the supers at both Colonial and Harbour Town. The big guy couldn't bring himself to make picks given the disgusting act that took place on the first tee at Colonial prior to the playoff. He then spent many hours meticulously raking and smoothing the bunker behind the 18th green at Harbour Town which Carlos Ortiz's caddy shamelessly left unkempt.

After investing hours of sweat equity back into the game, Randy is ready to make his picks debut this week. Simply sitting on the sidelines has vaulted Big Randy into 2nd place amongst a group of sad saps in the overall standings. A U.S. open has broken out on the NLU leaderboard. If not for DJ, many would argue DK Sportsbook has lost the course.

Randy's first pick was certainly inauspicious, as he joined his Strapped brother Neil in picking a player who tested positive for COVID-19 and then withdrew before our video was even released. The big guy's intel is telling him Will Gordon is wayyyyy too comfy following his promotion to Special Temporary Membership. His remaining picks showcased his true color: orange. While the faux mortician Randall has declared both Rory and DJ lifeless, his picks indicate his belief that Rickie is decidedly still kicking. Rickie is competing this week in a tournament title-sponsored by one of his endorsers. In other news, Faldo is suggesting tour players chip exclusively with an 8 iron, Bill Belichick is making winning moves, and the sky remains blue.

 TC’s loyalty to the NLU hitters last week was certainly representative of his character and class. It was also reminiscent of an uncle who plays a little too fast and loose at the casual family poker game.

At the end of the day, Freddy’s gotta go to college…which means Tron is abandoning his morals this week and backing a familiar foe in Jason Day....disgusting. After witnessing Day’s ability to manipulate his tee time and pairing last Saturday, TC clearly believes J-Day has a leg-up on the field. Sad to see the potential for a few “nuggets” can cause even the man himself to stray far from the TC way.

As always TC keeps us plugged in to the Korn Ferry Tour this week with his mega matchup parlay. It's always cooler to see a life-changing win on that Tour in comparison to DJ upping his net worth by about 0.1%.

: A slow start for Soly has him swinging for the fences in an attempt to cut into DJ’s commanding lead. Admitted to making his picks under the assumption that Detroit GC was a bomber’s track but, at 7,100 yards and Par 72, that’s not necessarily the case. Many moderate length guys lined the top of last year’s leaderboard. Luckily for Soly, only one player in the “nukey-boy-naish” lineup he supposedly attempted even ranks within the top 60 in driving distance (Finau). I guess two contradictions could net a positive outlook for Soly this week.

I think the golf world is unanimously excited to see how Chris Kirk responds this week in his first start since ending his four-year win drought two weeks ago on the Korn Ferry Tour. The drought paralleled an ongoing struggle with depression and alcoholism that led to Kirk taking an extended leave from professional golf. Kirk is the featured guest on today's NLU pod. Both Kirk and Soly’s penultimate pick, Brendon Todd, have provided uniquely inspirational stories of mental toughness in the last year…and Soly now has a stake in both continuing their success in Detroit this week.

 Taking a much needed siesta from the grind of handicapping golf this week. Some, not me, are calling it a Chez-induced rehabilitation stint. Can’t really call his performance thus far an “Icarito” as Neil has yet to come close to winning a single pick so far. On the other hand, you can’t choke if you never get out in front. Would you rather be a Greg Norman or a Bobby Clampett? (Don't answer)

: Like Soly, I am a believer in the chances of Patty Reed and Hovland this week. Hoping to avoid a cheating scandal and an excess of chipping opportunities, respectively. Doc and Stuard are a couple guys who played well here last year and aren't afraid to make a ton of birdies...which will certainly be a requirement to contend this Sunday. Looking for somewhere to throw those quarters lingering in your cupholders? Look no further than Wes Roach (150:1). Led last year's field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green and finished T5 two weeks ago in the Korn Ferry Challenge @TPC Sawgrass. Anticipating he comes in free and easy.
