The winning score of the 2022 Open Championship will be around 19 to 21 under par

I think it'll be 19 20, 21 under. If the wind's not blowing, it's just not very long, especially for these guys and especially how baked out it is. So I just feel like with the win, not up much 65, 66, 67, if you're playing well is about what the par is.

Cameron Smith won the tournament with a score of -20, which is exactly in the middle of Shane Bacon's predicted range.

Naming your child Cameron makes it likely they will win an Open Championship because it's the ultimate golf name

It can't be, they'll just be random. Cameron. I don't know why all the Camerons are good at golf... cam Smith. Isn't random. We got cam young. And Cameron's are just it's it's the most golf name out there. Have a kid named Cameron. They'll probably win an open championship.

Cameron Smith actually did win this 2022 Open Championship, making this accidentally very correct.

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.

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.
