Heading into Sunday at “the course that Jack built,” Rory McIlroy had it all going his way. He shot a two-under 70 in tough conditions Saturday to put himself in position as one of three players tied at the top of the leaderboard of the Memorial Tournament.
And, early in the round, he looked poised to win his 24th PGA Tour event. After missing a short birdie putt on the third hole, McIlroy bounced back with an incredible chip-in birdie.

Former Cowboys quarterback-turned-NFL broadcaster Tony Romo is well known for spending a lot of his time on the golf course, often playing with other big-name celebrities and some of golf’s best players. After carding a 67 in Sunday’s final round of the Memorial Tournament, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler shared some intel about his recent round with Romo—and offered some details about the former football player’s gambling habits on the course.
Scheffler was asked about a recent round he played with Romo, and how the results usually shake out when the two square off.
Hendriks was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in January. He picked up the win on National Cancer Survivors Day.
White Sox pitcher Liam Hendriks’s All-Star career hit a major roadblock in Jan. 2023 when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, an event that triggered an outpouring of support from across the baseball world and shed light on a disease that affects 80,000 Americans every year.
However, Hendriks was able to return after missing just under two months of this season. Sunday he took yet another key step toward becoming the Hendriks of old.
Driven by fandom or not, this was a disgusting act by French soccer club AC Ajaccio supporters.
AC Ajaccio fans were criticized following reports of an eight-year-old Marseille fan with brain cancer being viciously mocked during a Saturday night game at Stade Francois Coty.
Eight-year-old Marseille fan Kenzo, ailed by a brain tumor, was invited to the anticipated Ligue 1 season finale against Ajaccio. The invite was quickly marred by news of the abuse.
Kenzo and his father were also physically harassed at the venue. The young boy had his jersey torn off of him and burned.

Rory McIlroy started his final round at The Memorial strong, but quickly had another meltdown that set golf Twitter on fire.
Rory McIlroy is one of the best players in the world, but recently, he has had more meltdowns than shining moments. His latest breakdown during the final round of The Memorial shows he is fighting something in his game.
He started strong, making a par on the first three holes, then a birdie on the par-3 4th. Then McIlroy went bogey, birdie, bogey, bogey and par to go out in 37.

Nothing like a “Little League home run” in the AL East
It has not been the best start to the season for the Boston Red Sox.
Boston began the day with a 30-28 record, and a chance to take their second game in three days from the Tampa Bay Rays. But after Sunday’s 6-2 loss to Tampa, the Red Sox now sit at 30-29, one game above .500.
While that might be good in some other divisions, in this year’s AL East, that sees Boston dead last in the division, 11 games behind Tampa. Boston also sits 6.5 games back of the Baltimore Orioles for second place, and 2.
