Rick referred to the famous names that will attend this tournament, believing that the chemistry between the players could be a guarantee of the success of this tournament.
He referred to the predictions of Bubba Watson, regarding windy conditions and a difficult tournament.
The famous YouTuber believes that it is difficult to give real predictions, but he expects that he will have a good chance at this tournament.
We have Wesley Bryan, George Bryan, Luke Kwon at the back, unbelievable players. Grant and Phil, their chemistry together is incredible. Weve seen that on videos together. These two here at the end, obviously, Fat Perez and Cam, have just been the chemistry of these two all week has been electrifying.
I think its going to be difficult, as Bubba said. Its really windy out there. Maybe I was thinking a bit too optimistically about the scoring level, but I think every team genuinely has got a chance, and I think its going to be really close until the end, and Im probably expecting a playoff, as well.- he concluded.
