Houston Open 2026 Transcript

Let’s go pick Sleepers and Fades for the Texas Children’s Houston Open 2026. This is Dan from the Fantasy Golf Hub and I’m excited because there’s only two events left for the Masters, mate. Woo! They’re in final prep time now. Tuning the game. Are we tuning our fantasy game? We aren’t, unfortunately. I had a terrible week last week. I missed the deadline. three picks for three days.

Yeah. And um yeah, I had a couple of mis cuts there which wasn’t ideal, but you know, we move and we we move on to next week.
Every week is different in this game. Yeah. Uh let’s get on to it then. Let’s not dwell on the uh the past inadequacies of our lives. Texas Children’s HT first of two Texas events like a mini Texan swing. Yeah. And we’re at Memorial Park Golf Club. We’ve got the Fantasy AI Gent up in coordination with Fantasy Golf Hub. And we’ll have a little look at his model maker.

I’m And what I’m really excited because it’s a junior open as well, the children’s open. It’s It’s one for the kids to really shine. And um absolutely nonsense it. Sorry. Waffle. Yeah. See how see how them kids get on with this 7,435 yard renovated Memorial Park golf course. Yeah. Par 70 as well. Yeah. Easy for them. What’s the metrics, lad? So strokes gained off the te
favors high driving distance over accuracy. What does that mean though? Minus 4% lower. Why is it just killing versus the tour average? Oh, right. Okay. So it’s going different on us this week. I slightly different calculation. Strokes gained on approach.
Emphasis on your long irons from over 200 yards there.

I can’t understand this. Like this is this is like when I went to parents evening last week and Eden’s homework she’s six years old was about that figure that figure and then equals. So it’s more than less than. So I said, “You know what? She doesn’t understand that.” And the teacher basically just gave me a lesson in maths. When the crocodile’s mouth is open, that’s when it’s more than when the crocodile’s mouth is closed.

And I felt like an absolute weapon. I can’t deal with all this maths. Anyway, you you don’t need to, mate. You just made yourself look like a weapon in front of the world.

The world. All 60 61 of them. Yeah. Fantasy golf hub. Yeah, with a hub with the world’s hub for fantasy golf. Um, and just while while we’re on it, we’ve recently rebranded from Air Golf, but we’re still the same. We’re still the same. Just rebranded. Um, so drop us a like, drop us a subscription if you’re watching on YouTube. And yeah, follow us for more. We’ll be doing a lot more masters orientated content over the next couple of weeks. Yeah. Okay. Strokes gained around the game.

Back to the golf, 5% higher. So elite touches required from tight lies. Runoff areas are more penal than bunkers, whatever that means.
R5 scoring high critical for scoring on par 70 requires eagle potential power. Uh it’s a long course. So we want we want bombers. We want bombers this week. There’s one guy I can think of here who’s going to do well.

Well, let’s see if the agent has picked him. I don’t think he has Scotty Sheffller. I don’t think I think it’s a lazy pick there. It’s a lazy pick.
No weaknesses first in Tera Green. But if you’re going off the last few weeks, I think he has got weakness. Yeah, I think he has. But he’s he’s texting, isn’t he? He is. Yeah, he’s at home. He’s around this end. He’s at home. Strokes game around the green in Texas is uh we’re like a home player in in the fantasy golf, don’t we?

We do, don’t we? Um, Scotty, who’s next? Goty. Goty. Chris Carl. Scotty versus Goty. Third in driving distance, 12th in ball speed, fifth in par five scoring. He’s uh ticking a lot of boxes. Yeah. And he’s he’s highly owned in the game as well.

Fantasy golf uh for the PGA Tour. What was he say? 80% old or something. Was he 66? 66. a 10% higher than Scotty Sheffler which is unheard of but people may be keeping him keeping him back for the Masters. So we will see. We will see. Mimui defender ch distance good short game lead to field power five bed or better. Yeah interesting windmark news he was one I was hoping going to be a sleeper. I’ve got him in me team. Um got the length
fifth in this last year.

Stroke gains off the tea. still crazy decision to sleeper him but he he hasn’t been in form has he he’s not done very well recently so no it’s just he’s just long a he same as this guy Jake nap ranks one in the field strokes gained total strokes gained over the past 20 rounds he’s not just a bomber he’s playing well yeah he is fits the bomber hot water profile perfectly he’s a lock in my team as

We got next. Yeah, he’s another bomber. Yeah, fits the uh fit the long irons or or long long approach shots in as well. Mhm. Adam Scott. Scotty. He’s having a bit of an Indian summer, isn’t he? He is great with his long irons. Not that long anymore off the tea, which is maybe going to hinder him this week. Um, obviously it’s not the only metric that matters, but we’ll see.

He’s got he’s got a veterans touch and shaved areas.
Reminds me of mustache. Right, let’s have a look. I did have I did have him in my team until I took him out because I something tells me he’s not going to win.

Harry Hall is our first sleeper of the week. What you reckon? I wouldn’t argue with that at all. He’s uh he struggles around the green, doesn’t he? Leads the field in scrambling from tight lies. Critical skill for the venue. Our next one is Steven Jagger. He’s uh he’s back 204 past champion.

Power centric game thrives here. Okay, there you go. Poor fit. We’ve got Mr. Minimu Lee. So, we’re fading him after suggest got the length. So, he’s a winner’s tax. Okay. So, okay. I I outside top 10 isn’t a bad finish to be fair. So, wow. I got an interruption here. Feed him memorably feeding Harris English. I’ve just got Harris English in me team as well. That’s great news.
Sorry.

So, Harris English is a fade this week. despite me just putting it in my team. I don’t know you know struggle Harris English isn’t in the greatest of form recently however we will we will see. There it is. Pick, sleepers, and fades. The Houston, Texas Houston Children’s Open, and the dog open. I can’t believe Michael Penn doesn’t come up by the the AI gent at all at any point. I think he’s nailed on after his after his last week he had.

Did you see him absolutely nailing David Lipy to this to the wire with his with his just been on after the water shed that m like David Lip is absolutely 300 driving it and Marco’s just going straight over him. It was unbelievable to watch. Yeah. No, he’s starting to he’s starting to settle in I think over in the States and his game seems to be clicking. There’s always going to be always going to be a tough one to to get there.

Was it? Of course. Of course. Obombers. Yeah. Is the Blue, shut up. He’s going to shut me dog up. Um, so yeah, that’s your pick, Sleepers, and Fates for the Texas Shield News Open. Like and subscribe. You want to hear dog more than us? And uh we’ll be back. No live this week. Liv’s got a break until after the Masters now.

Um so got DP World Tour Pick Sleepers and Faze for the Indian Open. Not seen that yet. Uh check that out. We’ve got the 19th hole with me, Jay, probably my blue blue later week where we will discuss another Masters topic as we run up the season. Yeah, I’ve been Dan. He’s been blue.
