·1 hr 23 min·5 clips

Cam Young hit two elite shots on 17 and 18 to close the Players Championship.

1. Golf Betting System Podcast episode 386 covers the 2026 Valspar Championship and Hainan Classic tips with Steve Bamford, Barry O'Hanrahan, and Paul Williams. 2. Steve, Barry, and Paul are the named hosts and contributors, and Paul brings the stats work while Barry adds Data Golf context and Masters pricing angles. 3. The episode asks whether Players Championship form, course fit, and betting prices can point to winners at Sawgrass, Augusta, and Hainan. 4. Steve says Cam Young was available at 35-1 on Monday prices and compares that with previous Players winners like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Scottie Scheffler. 5. The hosts use official world rankings and Data Golf rankings to argue that top-10 status has remained a strong marker at the Players Championship since 2019. 6. Paul explains his own losses on Colin Morikawa and Rory McIlroy in one-and-done contests and calls the week a therapy session. 7. Ludvig Åberg's missed line on 11 and driver choice on 12 become the central tactical example of how a lead can unravel at TPC Sawgrass. 8. Barry points to Åberg's three-putt on 18 Saturday and argues the trouble started before Sunday with missed chances on the back nine. 9. Steve says Åberg can absorb a bogey but not a double bogey, especially on a course where 76 or 77 can arrive without much warning. 10. The conversation also revisits caddie decision-making, with Joe Skovron's club selection on 12 described as a major error. 11. The tone changes when the hosts praise Cam Young's finish, especially the wedge on 17 and the full-bore drive on 18. 12. Steve says that 18th-hole drive was a statement shot that showed Young wanted to win rather than just place. 13. The Masters discussion follows immediately, with Steve saying his updated research piece is already on the website and will be linked in the podcast description. 14. Steve says Augusta favors hot form and cites McIlroy, Scheffler, Rahm, and Matsuyama as examples from recent Masters winners. 15. Barry notes Cam Young's Augusta record of four appearances, two missed cuts, a 7th, and a 9th, while also noting he is around 25-1 for the Masters. 16. The hosts also compare Cam Young and Tommy Fleetwood as Augusta propositions while acknowledging Rory McIlroy's back issue. 17. The second half shifts into a more technical betting preview, with Paul opening the Hainan Classic section by saying the DP World Tour is back after a week's break. 18. Paul says the event has changed from 156 players to 120, uses both Blackstone and Vintage, and should produce warm scoring conditions in the mid-80s Fahrenheit with light afternoon wind. 19. Listeners who like golf betting models, course-fit discussion, and PGA or DP World Tour previews will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners who want quick results only, with no form and stats debate, may skip it.
