Shane BaconRory McIlroy is the favorite to win because he truly understands and values golf history
I love Rory this week because I think that Rory's played well lately. And Rory is the kind of guy that actually cares about sports history. Unlike so many athletes, I mean, he dives into this stuff. He eats it up. He knows what it means to win at certain places. So, you know, for people that aren't big golf fans winning at St. Andrews, I'd say is probably the biggest accomplishment in golf outside, even of winning the masters.

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.
PFT CommenterThe 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.

View profileShane BaconTiger Woods will likely not be the Ryder Cup captain because he doesn't want the life-consuming media commitments.
I'd heard Tiger didn't really want to do it. I mean there's a lot of commitments. You see how involved Luke Donald is on the European side. It's basically become his life. I don't think Tiger wanted to do a lot of the background media stuff, things like that. So I don't necessarily think he was gonna do that anyway.
Shane BaconTiger Woods is focused on playing the US Senior Open to win the only USGA title he is missing.
There's been a lot of talk around [Tiger] potentially playing in the US senior open with an opportunity and nobody's ever won the US Junior, US Junior Amateur, US Amateur, US Open and a US senior. Tiger is a big history buff... I think there's a focus on potentially playing in that at some point this summer.
Shane BaconScotty Scheffler's iron play has been average and inconsistent for a pro golfer this season.
I'd say bad for a pro golfer. He's 82nd right now [in strokes gained]. He's average on the PGA tour this season with his irons. This is a stat that he's led each of the last three seasons. If Steph Curry started to miss free throws, you'd be looking around going, what's going on here?
