There is nothing ‘normal’ about shooting 60 on the PGA Tour, but S.Y. Noh’s round of 11-under in the opening round of the AT&T Byron Nelson on Thursday was especially unique.
The 31-year-old stood on the Par 4 12th tee at 7-under par for the day fresh off of a birdie on No. 11. After pushing his tees shot well-right on No. 12, he took a close look at his driver head looking for a potential crack. He was able to make par on the hole, but a similar scenario unfolded on No. 13.

As Packers minicamp continues in Green Bay, Jamyest Williams is turning heads. Video of one of his best plays from the early season period made its way onto the internet on Wednesday evening and showed him turning on the jets in the open field.
However, come Thursday morning, the video was gone.
Williams, a former Under Armour All-American in the Class of 2017, committed to South Carolina out of high school and spent three years in Columbia as a defensive back. He recorded 86 tackles in 23 games with 13 starts before packing his bags and transferring to Georgia State.

While the XFL concludes its season with a championship game Saturday, the USFL is heading full speed into the midway point.

This is why we have to take our shoes off at the airport.
A popular TikToker decided to play a prank and see if he could pass off pretending to be Lakers guard Austin Reaves and gain entry into the Lakers’ Crypto.com arena.
Eric Decker, who goes by the TikTok handle ‘Airrack,’ explained his plan of action in his now viral video.
Airrack started off by saying that he thinks he could pull it off because he already “kind of” looked like Reaves to begin with. He then researched what kind of clothes Reaves usually wears and rented the same car that Reaves drives.

The NFL schedule is set to be formally released on Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET, but that hasn’t stopped reporters around the league from leaking key games for some of the NFL’s most intriguing teams.
The Jets are one of the media darlings of the offseason after acquiring quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Packers. With Rodgers in tow as the team’s new starting quarterback, the Jets are expected to be seen in primetime plenty as they hope to be an AFC contender.

The Lakers lost to the Warriors in Wednesday night’s Game 5. They also lost one of their stars, Anthony Davis, for the last few minutes of the game after he took an elbow to the head and had to leave the bench in a wheelchair. 
There were immediate concerns that he had suffered a concussion because he was pretty woozy after taking the inadvertent elbow from Kevon Looney. Thankfully it looks like he will be O.K. and is reportedly expected to be available for Game 6, but head injuries aren’t something that should really be taken lightly.
