The winning score of the 2022 Open Championship will be around 19 to 21 under par

I think it'll be 19 20, 21 under. If the wind's not blowing, it's just not very long, especially for these guys and especially how baked out it is. So I just feel like with the win, not up much 65, 66, 67, if you're playing well is about what the par is.

Cameron Smith won the tournament with a score of -20, which is exactly in the middle of Shane Bacon's predicted range.

Tiger Woods is spiritually and emotionally dead as a golfer

Tiger Woods is dead. Yeah, spiritually. I mean what? You should emotionally five over six over. Yeah. Something like that. It was, it's tough to watch. It's tough to watch.

The 2022 Open Championship is perfectly set up for Rory McIlroy to win

This whole tournament just seems like it's all setting up for Rory. It feels it's giving Rory. No, it feels like it's it feels like it's Rory's time, right? Like been playing some of the best golf of his career as we've sat on this show.

Naming your child Cameron guarantees they will win an Open Championship

I don't know why all the Camerons are good at golf cam Smith. Isn't random. We got cam young cam young cam young is the one who's leading right now. I believe cam Smith. Isn't third. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. And Cameron's are just it's it's the most golf name out there. Have a kid named Cameron. They'll probably win an open championship.

Cameron Smith actually went on to win the 2022 Open Championship, making this take shockingly prescient despite its comedic intent.

Europe will win the Ryder Cup and a visiting team win would be good for the tournament

I think Europe's gonna win... I actually think it's kind of important for the Europeans to win this thing. I think putting the, the pressure kind of on the Americans in a couple years... I think actually the the visiting team winning one of these things that hadn't happened since 2012 would actually be good for Ryder Cups.

Europe won the 2025 Ryder Cup 15-13 at Bethpage Black, the first visiting team win since 2012. Both predictions (Europe winning and it being good for the tournament) came true.

Bryson DeChambeau is the perfect partner for alternate shot at the Ryder Cup

Bryson obviously can lean on a lot of the big driving holes and JT can lean on the great great Iron play. I think Bryson has potential to be a big, big star this week... I think he's one of those guys you want to be paired up with as opposed to not wanting to be paired up with.

DeChambeau's performance in high-pressure match play has historically been strong, including his 2024 major success.

Betting on Europe at +170 is a 'hammer' bet

I think the fact that you're getting plus money on Europe is wild. I would, I would, I would hammer Europe right now. I think, I think it, I think it's potential for blowout on the European side.

Europe won the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black 15-13 over the United States. Betting Europe at +170 was indeed a winning bet.
