JJ Spaun never wins the US Open without the weather delay

I think without that [rain delay] he never wins this. I mean he just was lost. The composure wasn't there... Five out of his first six holes were bogies... Hayward was at Oakmont Country Club talking to JJ Spawn at the reset.

Hypothetical scenario based on the episode's fictional results.

Terrell Hatton will win the Open Championship at Port Rush

Heading into the year, my prediction was Hatton. I just had a feeling that Terrell Hatton's gonna win a major this year... I'm gonna go with the crazy man in Terrell Hatton. He's a linky type of player... That's my pick for now.

Scottie Scheffler won the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush by 4 shots. Terrell Hatton did not win.

Ludvig Åberg's game is built for winning major championships

Ludwig Åberg would be another guy too, who's, I think his game is built for major championships. Ludwig is already contended at the Masters a couple different times.

Whether Ludvig Aberg's game is 'built for winning major championships' is a subjective assessment of a golfer's style and potential.

Jon Rahm is still a top-five talent in the world and could win the next major

He's still one of the, one of the top five most talented players in the world. There's no doubt about it. Yes, he can win a major if you can win the next major. That's how good [Jon Rahm] is.

The 'top five' part is subjective, while the prediction of winning a major is pending.

Rory McIlroy will likely pull out of the Travelers Championship

I think this one's gonna sting for a really long time and it won't surprise me to see him pull out of the travelers this next week. I, I doubt we'll see him there. I'd be shocked if we see him there and yeah, the fifth major, there you go.

Rory McIlroy did withdraw from the Travelers Championship the following day, stating he needed a few weeks to process everything.

Bryson DeChambeau's bunker shot on 18 was a one-in-a-million execution

I was probably 15 yards away from him... a 55 yard bunker shot is one of the more difficult shots in the game. And Bryson probably hit a gap wedge... full swing. The fact that he went in there full swing and bringing in literally watching it over the clubhouse and having the nerve to pull the shot off and get it inside at five feet was unbelievable.

Expert analysis of a specific sporting moment.

Tiger Woods is officially back

I think he's back. Actually, being that I practiced with him and play with him before and before the Ryder Cup and leading up to the Bahamas, he kept looking better and better.

Tiger would win the Masters in 2019, which proved he was indeed 'back' in a major way, though he faced many health setbacks between 2017 and 2019.
