For the first time since 1954, a Canadian has won the country’s national championship as Nick Taylor won with a shot you need to see to believe.
The last time a Canadian player won the country’s national championship, the RBC Canadian Open, was all the way back in 1954. Pat Fletcher accomplished that feat. Finally, that drought has ended, and did so in unbelievable fashion.
Nick Taylor and Tommy Fleetwood played four playoff holes, through rain and near darkness.

For all of Denver’s offensive wonder against Miami, there’s another layer to examine as the Nuggets hunt the first title in franchise history.

Yanks play-by-play announcer John Sterling wears a tough hide.
During Saturday night’s face-off against the Red Sox at home, Sterling was calling the final at-bat of the night when an errant foul ball traveled all the way to the broadcast booth and struck the legendary announcer in the face.
Yankees closer Clay Holmes faced Justin Turner with a loaded count when a high-flying foul ball by JT reached Sterling. The 84-year-old tracked the ball until it landed on his face with a decent amount of force.
WATCH:

The video everyone has been asking for.

John Sterling didn’t miss a beat after catching a foul ball to the face in the press box.
John Sterling is a legend among broadcasters in Major League Baseball. Sterling has been calling New York Yankees games since 1989, and he’s still going strong at 84 years old. One would think that Sterling has seen it all after covering the sport live for five decades, but baseball has a way of always finding something new to give us. On Saturday night against the Boston Red Sox, Sterling became the story of the game for showing some grit and resilience in the press box.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs put up monster numbers in 2022. He led the NFL in rushing with 1,653 yards, plus added 400 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns.
This offseason, the Raiders placed the franchise tag on Jacobs. That tag comes with a $10 million salary for this upcoming season and no commitment from the team beyond that. The Raiders handed him the tag in March, but he has not signed it.

Tyrrell Hatton met at the RBC Canadian Open a volunteer willing to go above and beyond to save his ball from the creek.
Canadians are notoriously nice, but the one that came to Tyrrell Hatton’s rescue to retrieve his ball may be the friendliest volunteer at the RBC Canadian Open. Hatton hit his ball into the creek running alongside the hole on the par-4 8th hole. He couldn’t tell if the ball they found was his.
“I think that’s the yellow dot underneath it,” Hatton said unsure.
This lady volunteer exemplified that Canadian kindness.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson and ace Aaron Nola ended up on the wrong side of MLB’s divisive pitch clock on Saturday.
Playing against the Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park, Nola was flagged for requesting new baseballs on the mound to avoid pitch-clock violations.
Miller recognized Nola’s tactic of deliberately extending the pitch clock. He gave the Phillies ace a warning in the sixth inning. Nola and the Phillies saw the baseball requests as routine, so manager Rob Thomson blew a fuse in the process.
