🌬️ Forecast: Tame conditions—sunny, low 70s, minimal wind—should boost low scores but remain unpredictable due to North Sea proximity.

🎯 Scheffler's Odds: +450 despite no Scottish/Open win—has 3 top 10s overseas but no putting success across the pond.

🔥 Rory's Form: 2 top finishes at Scottish recently, sharp putting and strong driving, no weaknesses noted.

🔎 Fleetwood's Ups & Downs: Positive mindset and past top 6s here, but 34th last year; tops +115 to finish top 20.

🤝 Morikawa's New Caddy: Billy Foster joins, excellent for short game; skepticism remains on immediate impact.

📉 Jason Day's Decline: 111th in SG approach last week; fashion & injury woes adding concern.

🎲 Thorb's Collapse: Missed top 20 by 1 shot after double on 17th; finished 21st despite superb ball-striking.

🎰 Graesserman's Pick: Solid 2024 form and past Scottish performance suggest strong value at 90-1.

📈 DFS DraftKings Lineup: Headlined by McIntyre, Scott, Hall; balanced approach targeting reliable past performers.

• [0:24 - 1:15 | Will Doctor]: Introduces the podcast and sets up Scottish Open analysis, emphasizing sharp picks and betting angles for Week 28.

• [2:58 - 1:06:05 | Will Doctor]: Reviews historical finishes: Schauffele’s win in 2022; McIlroy’s 2023 clutch victory over McIntyre; McIntyre’s 2024 win. Key takeaway—Renaissance suits top-tier, creative players under pressure.

• [Brian Campbell Analysis]: Campbell won after odds of 350-1, previously considered luckiest winner. Averaged only 281 yards off tee but had pinpoint approach and putting. Joins six multi-winners this season.

• [Thorbjørn Olesen Review]: Dominant Sunday run ruined by double on 17. Still gained almost 6 strokes on approach and 14th in SG off-the-tee, but negative short game metrics kept him out of contention.

• [Champ & Lawrence]: Both flashed early but faded. Champ's wedge game cost him; Lawrence's approach fell off dramatically.

• [Jason Day]: Withdrawals due to illness and injuries marred recent form. Poor showing at Deere; dressed poorly due to Malbon deal, which Will criticizes humorously.

• [Jackson Coyvon vs Quade Cummins]: Coyvon finished T11; 2nd in SG putting. Poor irons but dominant flatstick led to matchup win.

• [Top Picks]:

  • Rory McIlroy: Top 5 (+187)

  • Fleetwood: Top 20 (+115)

  • McIntyre: Top Scot (+115)

  • Aaron Rye: Top 20 (+200), citing superb history at Renaissance

• [Outright Winners]:

  • Adam Scott: 55-1, recent top 12/30s with excellent across-the-pond short game

  • Harry Hall: 70-1, hot putter, now elite ball striking

  • Max Graesserman: 90-1, trending upward, loves calm links conditions

• [Final Bets & Forecast]: Predicts -19 as winning score; best bet is Max Graesserman top 20 (+275). DFS picks emphasize balance and upside with McIntyre, Scott, Hall, Rye, Graesserman, and Perez.
