TRANSCRIPTS

-Hi and welcome to this GolfChannel.com Extra. I'm Win McMurry...

-Hi and welcome to this GolfChannel.com Extra. I'm Win McMurry joined by Jason Sobel. And, there are actually two tournaments going on this week even though all eyes are centered on match play and all the bracketology out there. But, the Mayakoba Golf Classic this week, should people be watching? -Of course, why wouldn't you be watching? There's a PGA Tour event going on to double your pleasure and not just the match play this week but also the Mayakoba Golf Classic. And, what's going to happen once we get to the week and everyone loves Wednesday at the match play, Thursday at the match play. You get to the weekend you ask that there are going to be a couple of very good matches but only a couple of them. So, we-- we already know that there won't be a whole lot of golf being played at the match play so the Mayakoba provides a regular 72-hole stroke play and [unk] play event that will see some very, very good players. There are some guys who are worthy of winning big tournaments in the field this week. -All right. Well, Johnson Wagner, the defending champion, coming off of three top 10's including a win this year. He has to be the hands down favorite. -I do think Johnson Wagner is the favorite. He's played so well so far this year. But, there are a few guys I really like in the field this week. Spencer Levin lost to Wagner on a playoff last year. I expect Spencer Levin to continue his very good play possibly. And, keep an eye on Josh Teater. Josh Teater has played very well so far. He's a guy who's ready to win an event maybe not a big one yet but this would be a good stepping stone event for him to get that first victory and move on from there. -Guess what. All right, thanks so much, Jason. Thank you for joining us. Remember to keep it right here on GolfChannel.com for all the latest in the world of golf.
