Live Bet Saturday | August 8, 2026 | Hour 2

This is LiveBets Saturday on VSiN, these sports betting networks.
Coming at you from the Circus Sportsbook downtown Las Vegas, Dustin Swedelson here alongside Joe Ceraulo, guiding you through the afternoon action on a LiveBets Saturday. Update on the Wyndham Championship, by the way. This event in Greensboro, North Carolina, Tom Kim is your new leader. This just happened recently. He is tied with Michael Brennan, Alex Norton, and now Bo Haasler. So all four of them atop the board right now at 14 under Kim with a six under today, Brennan and Noren shooting five under. Looks like Davis Thompson who's tied for fifth is right on their heels. He went five under today.
This is a really weird, weird event, Joe. One, it's the final regular season event of the year. You and I knew that for a long time. We were all over it.

**Joe Ceraulo** (0:52)
Of course. More importantly, circled on our calendars.

**Dustin Swedelson** (0:54)
But more importantly, it's an event where the big bombers are kind of taken out. It's about the iron play. It's about all the game. The shots approached after you use your driver.
The guys were good with their wedges, guys who were good with their putters, which is so weird because you look at the leaderboard. My assumption is as a non golf guy is the best golfers in the game are great with all the things I just mentioned. And it doesn't appear to be the case.

**Joe Ceraulo** (1:19)
Did did Matt Brown give you like that crash course in the four minutes between his show ending and us going on air because that was really for not a golf guy. That was really a stew analysis of this Wyndham Tournament, where the only thing I've come to think of about this golf tournament is I want to know is Wyndham Clark playing in the Wyndham Tournament. That's the only question I've had come to mind about this entire weekend.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:40)
It used to be called the Web Simpson Open because he kept winning it. Web Simpson did shoot five under today. He is eight under tied for 24th in the event. The reason I know so much Joe is we'll talk to Spencer Aggie, our golf handicapper in our final hour, about two hours and 30 minutes from now. I'm in a contest with all of the best golf handicappers in the business. Spencer just needed, I think, to fill out the field. It was like 30 something people, and he threw me a bone. He let AI seed us based on what AI thought our golf knowledge was. I was one of, if not, the lowest seeds in the entire thing, and I beat the brakes off of my opponent in the first round. I advanced to the Sweet 16
I'm in the Sweet 16 now, but I don't think I'm going to do much after this. I think I'm getting smoked here.
I had a lot of almost calls, and my opponent, not that he's doing too well either, but I do think he has a couple of guys who are contending. He has Kevin Yu, who was one of his cheap plays. Kevin Yu is tied for sixth. He's 12 under. He shot a 500 today. That right there might be enough to end my day. He also has Hideki Matsuyama, who is tied for 12th at 10 under for the tournament.

**Joe Ceraulo** (2:48)
Well, look, it's 2026, right? In the age of NIL, Cinderella's don't really exist anymore. I would say the ceiling for Cinderella nowadays is the sweet 16
So consider yourself the high point of this tournament and wear that like a badge of honor.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:02)
Thank you, Joseph. Thank you. I did have a couple of golfers not make the cut, which is super disappointing. Betting golf.

**Joe Ceraulo** (3:08)
I didn't know a single name you said in this tournament.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:10)
You know what?

**Joe Ceraulo** (3:11)
The five or six that you rattled off, I did not know. I couldn't name more Love Island contestants than golfers at the Wyndham tournament.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:17)
Joe, until I did my research, I did not know who any of these golfers were, who I had. Ryan Gerrard, who was my highest paid pick. Ryan Gerrard didn't make the cut.

**Joe Ceraulo** (3:27)
I'm thinking hockey player when you say that.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:29)
It does sound like Brian Berard. So you think defenseman wearing like number 34, something like that. I had Aaron Rye, who's been good in this event before. Didn't work out. Sungjae Im, who's not doing horrible. I have Michael Kim, who is tied for 39th. I also have JT Poston and Justin Thomas. Poston didn't make the cut. Justin Thomas, who is right now, tied for 23rd. That's where we stand with the Windham.
