Phil Mickelson has a legit chance to win the Masters this week

I think Phil's got a chance. Oh I think Phil has a legit chance this week. He's been playing some solid golf and kind of going back to like what plays well here is a great iron player and somebody that's excellent around the Greens. I think Phil, he finds himself in contention it feels like every two years. So I think Phil, in terms of extreme long shots, I'm a big fan of his number this week.

Phil Mickelson did not contend at the 2025 Masters. Rory McIlroy won the tournament in a playoff against Justin Rose.

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.

Scottie Scheffler will not win the US Open at Shinnecock Hills

I don't like Scottie this week at Shinnecock. I just, again, I think we've seen him more frustrated this year. I think it's getting to him a little bit and I think it's a golf course where if you're not driving it great, you're gonna get yourself in trouble... I don't think this is the US Open that Scottie wins.

Shane Bacon predicted that Scottie Scheffler would not win the 2026 US Open at Shinnecock Hills. Wyndham Clark won the tournament, and Scottie Scheffler finished in a three-way tie for fourth place, four shots behind the winner.

The winning score at the US Open at Shinnecock will be over par

If those are the conditions, this is gonna be an over par US open. You're gonna see 3, 4, 5 over win come Sunday. And if the forecast holds up, that will be the case.

Shane Bacon predicted the winning score at the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills would be over par, specifically 3, 4, or 5 over. However, Wyndham Clark won the tournament with a final score of 4-under par.

Joaquin Niemann will win his first major championship at the US Open

I like Joaquin Niemann a lot this week with trajectory just hitting it under the wind. I think this could be his major championship that he actually bucks that.

Joaquin Niemann did not win the 2026 U.S. Open. The championship, held from June 18-21, 2026, was won by Wyndham Clark. Niemann finished tied for 7th place.
