Gannon could not pass on Gordon Sargent at 300-to-1, calling the former NCAA champ a classic ‘bright-lights’ player. He reminded listeners that Sargent captured the individual national title at age 18 and immediately logged impressive PGA Tour starts once his special temporary card kicked in—despite struggling so badly in collegiate events that he briefly lost his spot on the Vanderbilt roster. Gannon believes the big-stage adrenaline of a tour event where he can swing freely plays to Sargent’s ceiling. In a field devoid of real superstars, Gannon wants Sargent’s elite ball-speed and fearless scoring mentality on outright tickets as a pure upside dart.

Matt Gannon said Gordon Sargent is an auto-fade despite the eye-popping 500-1 outright number. Gannon rattled off several red flags: Sargent was reportedly kicked off Vanderbilt’s team, has not broken 75 in roughly a year, carded an 80 in Monday qualifying, and is battling the driver yips that make him “unable to keep it on the planet.” Because the former college star has completely lost his form, Gannon will look to fade Sargent in every head-to-head matchup that posts and refuses to burn even a sprinkle on the longshot outright.

Despite Sargent’s sparkling amateur resume and upcoming PGA Tour U card, Gehman said he has "no interest in rostering or betting" the Vanderbilt star. Sargent struggled so badly this collegiate season that he did not start every tournament for Vanderbilt—"incomprehensible" for a former top-ranked amateur. Gehman plans to monitor shot-link data but advised staying away until the underlying issues become clear and results improve.
