A weird finish to the Travelers Championship saw a protest and then saw golf fans troll those individuals.
The Travelers Championship saw another playoff finish, but before Scottie Scheffler could earn his sixth PGA Tour win, a distraction happened on the 18th green.
A group of protestors from the Extinction Rebellion interrupted Scheffler, Tom Kim and Akshay Bhatia’s group to run onto the course with colored smoke and powder substances.
Police tackled them and quickly put the group into custody.

The United States men’s national soccer team wanted to come out with a bang in its first match of the Copa América tournament, and it did just that against Bolivia.
At AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the USMNT faced Bolivia to open play in Group C (the teams are ranked 11th and 84th in the world, respectively). That difference in class showed itself throughout the match, as the United States rolled to a 2-0 victory to win a crucial three points.
In most soccer matches, it can take a while for the action to build up.

NBA player Talen Horton-Tucker’s Los Angeles home was burglarized, making it the latest incident targeting a high-profile athlete in the crime-ridden city.
According to TMZ, Horton-Tucker had $170,000 in jewelry stolen from his home. Horton-Tucker — a Los Angeles Laker from 2019 to 2022 before joining the Utah Jazz — had his LA home broken into earlier this week. THT was not at the residence at the time of the burglary, which was partly caught on video and identified one suspect.
Authorities have not made an arrest.

OMAHA, NE – If you were paying attention to the College World Series through the first six innings, it felt as if Texas A&M was going to push its way to a national championship, but somebody didn’t send the memo to Tennessee’s Dylan Dreiling in the 4-1 win over the Aggies. 
The hero in the Vols’ opening game in Omaha once again came up clutch at the most crucial time. Let’s be honest, if you were a Tennessee fan watching at home or sitting in the stands, you most likely felt as though the 2024 season was coming to an end Sunday.

“Ted Lasso” actor Jason Sudeikis ditched an engagement to watch Caitlin Clark play basketball. Like fellow WNBA fans, Sudeikis anticipated Sunday’s matchup between Clark and the rival Chicago Sky, featuring Angel Reese. Sudeikis has long been a fan of Clark’s, attending her games at Iowa, including a turbulent March Madness matchup between Iowa and LSU.
Turns out, Sudeikis was scheduled to speak at a conference Sunday but dropped out to attend the WNBA contest.

Just seven outs from elimination, Tennessee turned the tide in Omaha against Texas A&M
Tennessee needed a spark.
Trailing Texas A&M 1-0 in the top of the seventh, just seven outs away from losing the Men’s College World Series, they needed something to go their way offensively. One of the most potent offensive teams in college baseball had been stymied by a trio of Aggies pitchers and was staring elimination in the face.
Enter Dylan Dreiling, who provided that spark with one swing of the bat.

Facing elimination, national No. 1 seed Tennessee forced a decisive Game 3 in the 2024 Men’s College World Series with a 4–1 win over Texas A&M.
