A European or International player will win the 2025 Masters

I think it stops here [American dominance]. I think it ends here. Oh, I think Rory or Rom or Sep or somebody like that does it. So Leman, I I, that's kind of where I'm at is I think, I think the, I think the, the internationals are gonna win this. I think probably a European's gonna win it.

Rory McIlroy, a Northern Irish/European player, won the 2025 Masters in a sudden-death playoff against Justin Rose (also European). This take was correct.

Houston was uncomfortable not playing from behind in the title game

I think that Houston was uncomfortable not playing from behind. I feel like Houston had had to lead the whole game and they were like, wait, we're, we're usually the ones that are, that are coming back at the last minute.

This is a subjective psychological assessment of the team's performance.

Will Richard was the real player of the game for Florida in the National Championship

Walter Clayton got player of the tournament player of the Final Four, which he deserved... But Will Richard was the player of the game for this game. And it was him keeping them afloat in the first half with his threes. And then if you look at the final possession, his on-ball defense in the final possession is where like all the timing for Houston got screwed up.

Will Richard had 11 points and played key defense, though Clayton's counting stats were higher; Richard's impact was indeed vital.

Todd Golden's technical foul was the most strategic in history

Todd Golden probably deserves credit... his technical was maybe the most strategic technical of all time. Because after his technical foul, which was of I think like three or four minutes into the second half, the fouls went 13 to three on Houston.

The stat shift is verifiable, but the 'strategic' intent is subjective. Florida did win the title.

Bryson DeChambeau must get away from single-length irons to fix his game

He uses these single length irons... Nobody's using single length irons except Bryson. I just think he's gotta get away from that and at least try something different with the irons. 'cause the iron play is just not good enough right now to win major championships.

This is a technical analysis and opinion on a player's equipment strategy.

Viktor Hovland will win the 2026 Open Championship

My pick is gonna be Victor Hovland... I just like the way Victor's played. Got the win over Scotty Scheffler. That's gotta help the confidence... I think Victor Hovland has found something. He's the guy that rides the confidence wave as well. I think Hovland's the open champion.

The 2026 Open Championship is being played from July 16-19, 2026. As of July 19, 2026, the final round is underway, and the winner has not yet been determined. Sam Burns was the 54-hole leader entering the final day.

Wyndham Clark is 'free money' for a top 20 finish at the 2026 Open Championship.

Wyndham is a top 10 bet right now. Wyndham is a top 10 bet everywhere. Like everywhere he plays, top 10, very confident... I just think if you're looking at numbers, look at Wyndham Clark and you see a decent number on a top 10, top 20 bet. I think it's kind of free money right now with Wyndham Clark.

Wyndham Clark missed the cut at the 2026 Open Championship, with scores of 73 and 70 for a total of +3. Therefore, he did not finish in the top 10 or top 20 as predicted.
