I'm going to 'shock the world' and win the Masters this week.

I say we shock the world to win the thing. I've been thinking a lot about it. I feel like not winning's less fun than winning. So I'm kind of just gonna go for it.

Max Homa finished T3 at the 2024 Masters (the real-world counterpart to this fictional 2026 Natty/Masters crossover episode).

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

The fescue at Shinnecock was disappointing and didn't provide enough of a penalty for bad shots

My complaint this week as a fan of carnage, I didn't think the Fescue did anything. ... You're teasing us. Like I want you, you're telling me this is gonna be hard. I'm excited for like the not top 10 play. ... And it just felt like everybody was just hitting it in there and like a 12, everyone's just whacking it up on the green. So I miss that.

Subjective opinion on course difficulty.

Golf course bunkers should have wider teeth on the rakes to make them real penalties

Jack Nicklaus did it at his course for a while where his rakes had thicker teeth. And when you went in there, it would sit down and again, as a player it's annoying, but it's also like, man, you shouldn't be in the sand then. We need to make this shit harder. We gotta start calling penalties. Make the teeth on the bunker rakes wider.

Subjective opinion on how the sport of golf should be regulated.

The Masters' new range tracking app feature makes players feel self-conscious about their practice sessions.

It does [feel like an invasion of privacy] a little now that we know that it happens. You start to worry a bit about your spreads. Like if you just hit like one stinker, you're like ah, that's gonna look like an outlier. Some people are gonna think I'm sucking pretty bad. I am even more self-conscious now that someone was seeing all that.

Homa is describing his own personal feelings of self-consciousness.
