Video Transcript

MINTY BETS: Minty Bets here with super awesome Nick Kostos from "You Better You Bet" on Radio.com is here with me for some golf picks. We had the Majors last weekend and the FedExCup is next weekend. But this weekend, we've got the Wyndham Championship taking place in Greensboro, North Carolina. Nick who are your top choices to win?

NICK KOSTOS: Did you know that Webb Simpson and named his daughter-- and I swear, I am not making this up. His daughter is named Wyndham, because he loves this course so much. He's played 40 rounds there, is a previous winner at this course, and the last two years has finished second both times. That's the reason why we're seeing Webb at the top of the odds board this week. And I think that any outright card has to have Webb Simpson on it.

I'm also going to take an outright shot on Patrick Reid. I've been betting a lot on Patrick Reid. Had him top 20 this past weekend at the PGA. That came through for me here.

I feel like Patrick Reid is percolating. He's obviously got a major under his belt. He's a tour winner. I feel like he's due to win one of these here. So I like a shot on Patrick Reid in the outright market. I also don't mind derivatives on Patrick Reid.

And how about Harris English, a guy who has been in an outstanding run of form. Pro better Rob Pizzola came on "You Better You Bet" this week, and he said he thinks Harris English should be the fourth priced golfer on the board right now. So there's some big time value with Harris English. I think that his game translates well to this course at Windermere.

So three outrights that I'm looking at right now. Give me Webb Simpson, give me Patrick Reid, and give me my man Harris English.

MINTY BETS: Love it. All right. Do you have any like top 10 or top 20 finishes that you like as well?

NICK KOSTOS: You know, Minty, I just can't quit Jordan Spieth. It's like a bad romantic comedy, Nick and Jordan Spieth. He loses me money every week, so it's a really bad romantic comedy.

But I did like what I saw from Spieth on Sunday. Normally, Spieth plays really well early in the week, and he had a disastrous Saturday at the PGA, but he shot a 67 on Sunday. And I think that he can putt well here.

The greens are a little faster here. That can help the aforementioned Harris English. I think could potentially help Spieth here as well, and maybe this is me just like throwing my money away every week. But a top 20 on Jordan Spieth plus 180 at Bet MGM, I feel like it's a bet that I would like to make.

And also, Sergio Garcia is a late add here. And Sergio has been on a nice run of form. I don't think Sergio Garcia can win this tournament. So I wouldn't bet Sergio Garcia outright, but I do like Sergio here in the derivative markets. Top 10 if you want to be a little safer. Top 20 for el niño Sergio Garcia.
