Scotty 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?

Strokes gained data is verifiable and Bacon is citing actual tour rankings for that specific point in time.

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.

Scotty Scheffler is more likely to win the PGA by 10 than finish outside the top 10

I think there's a better chance Scotty [Scheffler] wins by 10 than he doesn't finish in the top 10. I think this is a great opportunity for Scotty to kind of go back to back at the PGA.

The PGA Championship 2026 concluded on May 17, 2026. As of the latest available information before the final round concluded, Scottie Scheffler was in a tie for 23rd place and five shots off the lead. The final results of the tournament, including Scottie Scheffler's definitive finishing position and the winning margin, are not yet available to verify the prediction.

Brooks Koepka is in a prime position to contend for a win at the PGA Championship

I think [Brooks Koepka] is gonna be in contention here. I think it's a great Brooks Koepka golf course. He's leading the PGA tour this season in Iron Play. ... I think Brooks is positioning himself to get really a chance to win either this PGA or or win it at Shinnecock.

Brooks Koepka finished the 2026 PGA Championship tied for 23rd place with a final score of -2. The leaders heading into the final round were at -6, -4, and -3, indicating Koepka was not in contention for a win.
